Today was the first session of 1.5 OLY class. We worked on hang squat snatch. I always have a tough time with any overhead squat/snatch type of movement until I have really loosened up. My mobility has certainly improved but I need to keep working it. I seem to end up either too forward or overcompensating and being too far back.
Other things I need to work on that are ability related and not limited by my mobility issues are speed under the bar and receiving the bar in an aggressive position. I also need to not bend my arms too early and keep the bar close to my body. I really enjoy the Oly lifts so I’m looking forward to working on these issues.
I worked with 95 and 105 last night. I also worked on my pullup progression after the class. I will do 10 pullups on July 15.
