We started snatching today.
30kg - 40kg - 50kg - 60kg.
I worked up to 60kg (132lbs) and stayed there for 8-10 singles, with coaching between each one. I probably failed maybe 3 of them.
My main issue in the snatch right now is that my tempo is wrong off the floor and I don't pull the weight into me. I therefore can't set myself up for explosive hip extension. Part of it is that I'm scared to keep the bar super close because I feel like it's gonna hit me in the chin. I know that if I pull correctly it wouldn't but...I'm not pulling correctly. Just gotta de-pansify.
Anyway I was pretty happy to finally establish a baseline for the snatch. I think fresh, I can probably snatch 65-70kg, but I think I have a lot of technical flaws to fix before I can do more than that.
