Just a reminder that tomorrow you should attend one of the classes and do the daily wod, and we will then meet at 5:30 for our comp club workout.
Bring your oly shoes (and wrist bands, etc) - we're going to snatch! Yep, I know you snatched today in class, but I'd like to go again tomorrow for several reasons. First, you should all be a little more comfy with the movement after practicing today, and so tomorrow we can work on fine tuning the things you worked on today (you did work on something today didn't you?!?). Second, I feel that working on lifts back to back days is an excellent way to improve your lifts - and it's something that as comp club members you can do!
And finally, I'd like to work on something specific tomorrow - catching medium/heavy lifts at a medium/deep squat. Most people can catch a light snatch as either a muscle snatch or a 1/4 squat power snatch and they can also catch a very heavy snatch in a full squat. But it's very difficult to catch a medium weight somewhere in between the two. We're going to hit that weight tomorrow by doing sets of 3 reps - less than your one rep max, and something that you shouldn't have to drop into a full squat to catch. We'll talk more about it tomorrow at class - see you there!
