[Squaggleboggin]

At least you got in a decent workout. I was tired yesterday and my workout was complete crap. I could barely hit 85% or so of my deadlift for a single. You're coming along nicely. It's good to see a fellow weightlifter progressing like you are with hard work and lots of it. Keep on keeping on, my friend...

I like looking at your training days Monkey. Where did you get the info to put this stuff together? Have you read the Weightlifting Encyclopedia yet? I'm finding lot's of good info in there.

No its just that my snatch is so lacking compared to the other areas I need to train, I have to keep on it

That probably has a lot to do with technique. The snatch is such a technique oriented lift! It amazes me that people can use such finess when handling hundreds of pounds like that.

I was messing around and did a 135 LB snatch pretty easily. Is that good?

depends on how it looked and the form. Just about anyone can take 135lbs from the floor and be able to throw it overhead.

Damn! Awesome w/o

When you say full depth C&J, do you mean going down into the full squat position?

I tried to break it into individual exercises...
But each little segment was a 50mb-ish file -

Do you kill anyone else that sets foot in your gym? You always look like you're the only one there . Nice front squats, anyway.

- Yes, and then cook and eat them!

 

[P-funk]

be faster under the bar. You need to pull down on it harder to get into the bottom position. You pull and then you just sort of float down there which makes you miss easy snatches to the front. Be agressive. Pull down on that bar hard and snap under it,

 

[Rocco32]

Nice video. It looks like for the OH Squat you could be a little tighter on the lockout and in the upper back. Looks kinda loose. But your doing much more than me!!!!

Those press unders look brutal. I think it'll be awhile before I'm doing those LOL!

Good job on the snatches From what I've read and what Patrick says you may want to get your shoulders over the bar just a bit more.

I really admire your front squat and the form. Looks great!! Is that snow I see outside?
