Notes: Very positive session. I'm making incredible progress on snatch. Today was my first time performing the full snatch (not from the hang position) and catching the bar completely in the hole. After some tall snatches and a few hang snatches, I moved to 50kg and started nailing the full snatches. I was absolutely rock-solid at 60kg and 62.5kg. My first attempt at 65kg was decent, but I lost the bar out in front. Then, I allowed a little doubt to creep into my mind and my second attempt at 65kg wasn't as pretty. I decided to stop at that point and be happy with my incredible progress. I now feel confident getting under the bar and welcome the challenge of squat snatches should they be programmed in Charlottesville. Chris put together a nice clean & jerk complex for me to drill. I really like working the tall clean. It really helps me focus on the the third pull. As I continue working getting under the bar and continue to add to my front squat numbers, I believe that I'm laying the foundation for moving some solid numbers in the near future. My current goals are 70kg snatch and 100kg clean & jerk. I ran through 10 minutes of "Cindy" after my Oly session to work some conditioning. I stumbled on the push-ups after the first two rounds, but I'm happy with my effort. Looking forward to a big CFDC class tomorrow.
