Snatch & some good snatch tips

Swing/swing/snatch triplets 20kg: Ca 3/3 for 3 min. Focus on form and double bend.

Snatch 20kg: 5/5
" " 24kg: 5/5, 30/30, 20/20, 10/10

Super/drop-set oa swings, 5 reps per weight; two times 40kg-24kg-20kg R/L

Oa pulls 60mm roll handle:
42kg: 1/1
44,5kg: 1/1
47kg: -/- (lifted but no clear lockouts)
42kg: 1/1 x 3 (no rests)

Also, experimented with flips vs corkscrews in snatch both on the way up and down. The flip-over is nice too.

The triplets are nice. Remember this old post?

Great tips on snatch
The snatch video asked for by Kukka, yielded great results. I got some good viewpoints of Mark and MKSSchinabeck.
They can be summed up as follows:
-Over-head stability should be improved (timed oh-holds, shallow oh-squats, observation)
-Grip, there is a difference in grip right and left hand (observation). Building grip - heavier oa swings.
- I also got a suggestion about the double knee bend used by many GS-lifters. In my experience the double knee bend makes my grip tire quickly. On the other hand it saves a lot of effort for upper body. Maybe this situation changes if I adjust my grip technique. I will follow and evaluate that (double bend can be practiced with swings).

If you are a KB-nerd like me, you might want to check the original comments yourself for some more info.

Thanks!!
Ps! Check out Schinabeck's training log. He is an RKC who is also coming closer to his candidate master of sports (CMS) degree every day. Marks, no link necessary :-).

New Toys at Work

My workplace bought in some sledges to break the wooden center post in the windows in case of fire evacuation via windows. So, I have done some occasional finger walking and levering with those. They are only 6lb, no way I can lever lift thes by the far end (90cm).
