QWA WK 4 DAY1

Snatch
42x3; 47x3; 52x3xxx; 57x3xxx; 62x3; 65x1; 67x1x; 67x1. Horrendus snatching. Cant even snatch 10kg below by pb even though I can power snatch them?? Dropped many forwards. I thought I was getting over this problem. I think I need to do what Pete does. Make sure I successfully complete all the lifts no matter how many I fail

Power Clean 40x3; 50x3; 60x3; 70x3; 80x3; 85x2; 85x2; 85x2; 80x3; 75x3; 75x3; 75x3; 75x3

Rack Jerk 45x3; 55x3; 65x3; 75x3; 85x3; 92x1; 82x1

Front Squat 60x3; 70x3; 80x3; 90x3; 100x3; 95x3; 90x3; 85x3; 80x3. Legs still feel weak and below strength. Was supposed to go higher today. Slight pain in left knee.

  2. You are correct- obey the Judge, hes always right in the end. Keep up the training, you are strong.

  3. I agree with Sean, with the power snatch you can compensate/mask for bad form. You just cant really do very much when in a squat snatch if the bar is forward/backwards. I also think sometimes the way people pull the bar for a power snatch differs somewhat from a squat snatch. Maybe it is just me but the transition from power snatch weight to squat snatch weight is usually a little rough when I do them.

    I would suggest like Sean to get over the reliance on powering the weight and confront the technical issue head on. Include more squat snatches and get to the bottom of why you are losing the snatches or it will continue to plague your lifting.
