Snatch Balance: Felt good getting under the bar today, so worked up to 60KG for a single. Focused on locking out the bar without getting too low into the squat. Could work on getting a wider and less toes out at the bottom of the squat.

Tried high pull and snatch from the box. Does not seem as smooth or as powerful as last session. I think the starting position maybe wrong. Also cannot seem to get the bar to the hip before exploding. Doesn’t feel “right”. From the hang feels better. Not sure why.

Did different complexes today but always catching the bar forward. The best I did was when I was practicing hang high pull to hang snatch. This felt the best today because I was able to work on fully exploding the hips the same way we learnt last week for the push press. Was also trying to catch the bar with the feeling that I am catching it on a half squat (which looking on video its actually a full squat).

Front Squat: Working on maintaining a straighter back angle. When at the bottom of the squat and standing up, my butt comes up a little. Next time I may try butt down when standing up.

 

Push Press: Working on the feel of coming up slowly then almost lockout feel extension from the hips, knee and ankles. Right knee felt slight pain during a rep. Also tried to land the heel and lockout the arms at the same time. Feet slide back up to 35kg, at 40kg, extension was slower thus no slide back which is fine.

Snatch Balance: I do better at receiving the bar when I am thinking of “after initial extension, get under the bar to receive it”. When I tried to fully extend aka explode with full ankle extension, as I did on the third rep, my timing gets messed up, and I feel slow!
