My Time: 12:46
I have to improve on my power snatches. I felt off today. It's good to be back after 1 day rest. Lower back was gassed. Here's an article on Power Snatch.
Olympic Lift - Power Snatch
The Olympic Lifts are recommended exercises for inclusion in power and speed training programs. The objective of these exercises is to develop the large muscles of the body in an explosive action that requires the use of many joints and muscle groups in a coordinated movement. The Olympic Lifts comprise of the Clean & Jerk and the Snatch. The Power Snatch and Power Clean are auxiliary lifts that aid in the training of the Clean & Jerk and the Snatch.
