Snatch day...

Today was the first training day of the week for me... Not planned that way...
Sometimes work and life get in the way of the true fun things we get to do... Like training for Olympic lifting. I have been preparing for a talk I am giving on Saturday at the NSCA Kentucky state conference on Power development on athletes.

Training today consisted of snatches!
Warm up was pretty normal- bar work turn the posterior chain on an move weight!
Snatch
The plan was 3x1 @ 90% (117)
What happened was ... Misses all over the place!!
50 x5
70x3
80x1
90x1
Then out of nowhere I could not hit a snatch to save my life. I missed behind &in front 100x1 (2 misses in a row)
Took a moment gathered my self stopped yelling at the bar and attempted 110. Boom perfect snatch nice bottom position, locked out perfect, and blew the squat up. Now time to attempt 117(3x1).
Attempt 1- missed in front, I could just tell that my body was not going to move the weight today.
I decided to drop down to 110 to finish my attempts out I wanted to get 3 singles in to finish the day off. Well I ended up only hitting 1 snatch out of 3 at 110. Today was just not my day. Hopefully tomorrow goest I better and I find a way too move some weight and move it correctly!
Until next time - go lift heavy!
