Training Session 9 with Coach Keith
Got right to business with Coach Keith today. He started by having me drill the individual snatch components in sets of 3. Had to face away from the mirror to keep looking straight ahead and maintain proper alignment. After it was feeling good, worked in sets of 3 with 3 overhead squats at the top of each snatch using 75lb the whole time.
Next up worked on my squat form, which was feeling pretty lousy today. My shoulders are so fucking tight that if I get anywhere near the proper position I get some serious pain. Keith told me to try to use the bar to push my chest up (while keeping the elbows up) but I’m still really limited with the ROM here. Frustrating. Only went up to 155lb because what’s the point of going heavier if I can’t get the bar in the right position?
