Just hearing the word "snatch" implies a speed component. The snatch is a fast movement that begins with a smooth deadlift. The acceleration occurs during the second pull and as soon as the explosive jump that really gets some momentum on the bar has finished we pull ourselves under as quickly as possible. When it clicks, it clicks. When it doesn't, examine what's happening....

Super session everyone. Really good work on snatching, and really good snatches. John- heavy duty. You are up 35 pounds from last snatch session. Outstanding! Some people chose to work more on form and less on load. There will be muted progress, if any, without a strong, solid foundation for future snatches. The overhead squat, the rock bottom, and The Burgener are key components that should be mastered, and along with a super active shoulder girdle, should be present at all times.
How about the flexibility connection with the snatch and the mobility we have been cultivating for the past few months. Did anyone notice improvements with regard to hip or shoulder girdle ROM? This is why its so important to work daily on becoming more flexible. It translates into better performace, and a much more comfortable pillar.
For the guys that just started snatching- great start. Be patient, be pleased that you are moving forward. Just remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint.
We had a visit from Sam, who is already doing better than most beginners. We hope you come back, drink the kool-aid and like it as much as we do. Oh yeah, remember to eat prior to rolling... Keeps "Pukie" away.
Wednesday is another well deserved rest day. Use your time wisely and get some pre-hab, mobility, or both. Thanks for the efforts, thanks for the fuel. Thanks for another great day at CFSF.
