Snatch, box squat and box pistol

Week 3 of snatch and 2 of box squat. Making slow progress but steady which is my aim since there are many details to practice and perfect. As Rif said yesterday each of these details is a rep in and off itself so slow, smart and steady progress

Hang snatch
Bar/5
65/3
75/3
85/3
95/3
105/3
115/3
125/2
135/1x5



Have to work the position with this weight. The hand position is unquie Nd requires a different strength. Thus the pull is a bit more challenging and I can feel my rhythm off a bit a couple of the reps. The weight itself is not an issue but technically I should be better. Dropping back next week to 115 for rep practice and hone the technique.

Box squat
135/3x8



Rest no more than 30 sec. Worked on pulling faster into the whole/box & keeping the back tighter per Rifs coaching. Felt better and again just a familiarity issue. Weight is no problem and who gives a darn. Strengthen the position is key and be technically strong.

Box pistol
Double 12kgs/2x 5

20 seconds rest complete right then left.

Have to work on negative stability. Weight helps so I am going to up it back to 16s next week. Great drive off the box today, strong and explosive.
