Mar 12, 2009 @ 22:05:03

so the Snatch is my most hated movement! and my PR respectfully remains at the Dowel.
Mar 13, 2009 @ 07:33:45
I was just doing extras.
Mar 13, 2009 @ 07:38:21
Yup that’s how the conversation was!!
Not to mention that pushup is from the knee! THAT’s why you had to do extras!

I agree with Laura on the Snatch, I do not like it either. Too many ways to smash the bar into my body.
I slowly got up to 55lbs and did 2 sets of three, the other 3 sets were at 50lbs.
The technique was hard for me to get. I guess for next time I need to think about getting the bar over my knees before pulling and shrugging and trying to figure out some way to drop under the bar way-way faster into the squat. A few of them felt okay but most of the time something was off.

It’s okay Paul, no need for embarrassment. We all have our off days…

Didn’t try 95 becasue of balance issues in the squat. Next time I’ll try for 95.
And Paul, I agree with Tanya……terrible form on the push up….I hope you weren’t counting those….

I recall now… this was looooong after the workout. I was just peeling myself off the floor.
Mar 13, 2009 @ 16:14:59
Paul, you’re right, it does look like a very sloooooowwww peel from the floor.
Mar 13, 2009 @ 17:24:33
Sorry about your looooooong time you need to recover after working out
Mar 13, 2009 @ 17:25:47

Paul, I’m on your side. Why? Because you give us free beer. And I think I remember that day… you were actually showing me your breakdancing moves.
Mar 13, 2009 @ 18:31:06
65lbs was max. First time doing snatch and found it really hard.
Mar 13, 2009 @ 19:14:58
125
easy to get the weight up, not getting low enough on catch
Mar 13, 2009 @ 21:14:20
Everything needs work on this technique-
felt most pain (in left shoulder)from lowering the bar!
3 X 45lbs.
Mar 13, 2009 @ 21:32:08
55 lbs… felt good… have to remember to keep feet closer together and knees out in the squat.

Mar 14, 2009 @ 12:06:02
First time for snatch. Spent time working on technique @ 50lbs but still found it difficult.
Mar 16, 2009 @ 11:09:29
Attemtd to lift 35lbs, Oh my god. I must be the most uncoordinated person here. I ended up doing my snatch with the bamboo pole. I could not get the routine at all
