A smaller group showed up for 6pm class tonight, which was nice because that typically gives us a chance to work on some technical lifting w/ a bit more attention from the coach if we need/want it. The consensus tonight was to work on the snatch. We moved through a heaving snatch balance first to get some repetition with getting the weight overhead and down into the squat correctly. Josh and I started into the snatch, and I realized it's way harder to do it from a hang when you don't have the momentum from the ground. He pointed out that I was going super deep, and almost doing a negative with the bar overhead. I would catch it above, lower myself deeper into the squat, then come up and out. We put up 125 a few times but sorta ran out of time. Kelly wanted to get some metcon in so we did 3 rounds of 2 minutes of boxjumps. Josh called me out for grabbing the low box and made me do the higher one w/ him. Felt ok tonight.
