Just wanted to take the chance here to tell everyone they did a fantastic job with the snatch yesterday. It's an incredibly complex movement, and one that is very hard to do heavy. It's one of those movements we'd prefer to see more often but only comes up every 3 months. We've often encouraged you to put your goat in your warm-up, the same applies to any of the difficult barbell movements. Get sound mechanics, build to a consistancy with the movement and then we can work on intensity, whether that means more reps or more weight. Warm-up with a few snatches and cleans after your Dynamic Range of Motion (DROM). Get in a few presses. Do some push ups, ring dips, handstand holds. I try and do double unders ever time I workout, because that's what I need to work on the most. The more familiarity, and frequency, you have with these movements the better the technically difficult days are going to be.
