Snatches

I've been having problems with my snatches so I went back and watched Cotter's segment on the snatch on the  "The Boys are back in town DVD ". I realized I have been shorting my backswing and while my grip was ok, the hand placement wasn't. I was gripping more towards the center of the handle rather than the corner. It made a world of difference.

The other day I attempted 10 mins (5mins each arm with 1 hand switch) and got 3min  R & L @15rpm, then 2mins L&R @ 15rpms and it was hard. Today I did 5mins R @12 rpm and 4mins L @ 12 rpm. The last minute my hands started getting very oily (I don't chalk when I snatch) and so I wond up setting it down twice, but I still did 12 rpms during that time. It was fairly easy, Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) on a scale from 1 to 10 it was about a 4.

It's amazing what a slight change in techinque has on results!
