CFHQ has given us three days of strength in a row. Maybe that's to make up for pounding us over the past few weeks. We'll take it.

Nice job guys and gals. We left the decision up to you as to whether or not the squat was included. Some got it, some didn't. Of all the Olympic lifts, the Snatch sometime dictates to us whether we squat or not. An Olympic weightlifting coach once told me "a Squat snatch is a missed Power snatch" which makes a little sense.

We have issues with the "jumping" and "landing" foot postions. Jumping is the power stance, landing is the squat stance. We must get this locked down. Failure to position, and re-position correctly during practice is a major fault, and will lead to problems when lifting bigger loads.

Using chalk to outline proper foot positions on the ground is an incredibly effective tool to learn and lock down foot placement. Do this if you are struggling. It helps a lot.

Practice is good. Good practice is better. We work to develop a kinesthetic awareness during practice. If faults go uncorrected that kinesthetic awareness is flawed. The goal of practice should always be form over load.

Good job Delaina, Paul, and Quincy. You all are moving toward the goal of consistency. Thanks for that hard work. Be pleased, not satisfied.
