Day 2 of deload. Did an interval metcon:
5 rounds:
3 Heavy Power Snatch 135,140,145,150,155
10 Pullups (Kipping)
25 Double unders
Rest 5 min
I enjoyed this interval. My power snatches felt solid and fast. I only missed 1 rep on the last round (155#). Had it overhead and locked but just hesitated on my drive up, lost balance and dropped it. Took about 2 minutes for each round.
One thing however... I HAVE TO STOP BANGING THE BAR ON MY HIPS! Not just for technique purposes but that crap hurts. My waist line is seriously tender right now. I'm really not sure how to fix this also. I read an article by Greg Everett at Catalyst Athletics (great site and definitely read his book about Olympic weighlifting) and he basically said there were two schools on bar contact: Bang and Brush. Right now I'm definitely banging. Most of the best lifters brush and I believe that this is this best for comfort reasons and it prevents the bar from coming out too far from the body. But everytime I try to "brush" I lose aggressiveness and speed. I definitely feel alot faster and more powerful with the "bang". I guess I will just have to get more practice in order to make the adjustment to brush.
