So for those of you I know IRL, you’ll know I’ve finally left the nest and living in the big smoke. Living in the city has it’s perks – but also its dangers: friends so close we’re neighbours, having over 10 pubs within 500m radius and also work only la 10 minute walk away.

Friday night was 7 sets of 3 snatch. The quickest and most explosive Olympic lift.
Currently, I’m much more inclined to simply muscle the bar up into a power snatch then squat. Which, as Kam correctly pointed out, is an indication that while I have the strength to perform the snatch, my technique is hindered, and will eventually stop me from moving into higher weight ranges and performing the movement efficiently with a shorter cycle time.
The problem: getting my body under the bar quickly, rather than muscling the bar up so high
The solution: high hang snatches (Cheers, Kam A)
