Snatching and Power snatching are the same exercise with very different energy requirements. Receiving the bar in a full squat demands flexibility, stability, and strength. Train consistently at CFSF, listen carefully to your coaches cues, make adjustments, and you be able to meet those demands.

The ultra cool thing about that? As you grow and become a better athlete, that motivates others at CFSF to work for growth. We fuel one another. Thanks!

Very good workout everyone. Thanks for the attention to detail. Paul- you are a beast. Monster lift, and it looked good. Megan- you too are a beast. Only with respect to your strength, and ability to crush these wods. Thanks for the great fuel you two.

Th Snatch is a thing of beauty with an aesthetic value unrivaled in sport. Most Olympic coaches will tell you that a Full, or "Squat" Snatch is a missed Power snatch, which makes sense. We used to be a little particular about this, but have since relaxed a bit and allowed our athletes to have both options.

However, unless it's specified, we're going downtown!

The word of the day was "speed". We wanted speed through the middle, and at the top. We also broke down the Burgener component by component and talked about why each component is performed. Get a stick and practice anytime you can. 

*hint* cash out with the Burgener every day and watch your Snatch dramatically improve in a just few weeks.

A bunch of people stuck to Snatch practice, no max lifts. Abby, Ryan, Quincy, Candice, Caitlin, Joan, Skot, Jeremy, Paige, and Jill- good job, good practice. Welcome to CFSF Skot. Crawl, walk, run. In that order and you will succeed.

Congratulations Paul Wernke- a new CFSF record for the fastest 500 meter row at 1:28. That's fast and beats the old record by :10 seconds. 



Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Citius, altius, fortius.
CFSF
