Wednesday - Snatch Technique Work, Clean and Jerk, Push Press/Jerk, Front Squat

Started off with some snatch work. Was going to do hang snatches, but I decided to work on my first pull, which sets me up for a powerful forward hip extension, which always shoots the bar in front of me. Always. Worked on it with some friends watching and commenting. I don't know if I made any progress, but it needs work.

Notes:

-snatches need lots of work, and although its getting better it has a long was to go

-felt good about the cleans

-got talked to about dropping weights, but its cool because I have a meeting with one of the higher ups in CRS next week to talk about the policy. I am preparing a convincing argument about safety.
