What kind of weight are you getting on the snatch and cleans?

 

I do most of my work with 95 or less on the snatch and 165 or less on the clean. Like I said...very pedestrian. Coming from the power versions for almost 15 years I've got a lot of kinks to work out.

Are you working on squat versions? Snatch more then anything is about form.

Good luck. I admire you for doing that. We caught our cleans butt to ankles in college.

Never could get my form down. Now I just hang clean and catch it higher. I am too old for that. However, perfect form looks awesome. They are so technical and when the pull under is smooth, it is pretty cool to watch.

If its tendinitis try icing it. I have it in my knees and that helps. You may also try wearing a knee sleeve when working out. Rehband makes some really good ones but they are on the pricey side. I have there original blue sleeves and love them, made a huge difference.

 

I'm hoping it will not hurt tomorrow so that I can work out. If it still hurts I guess ill start icing it and look for a sleeve.

 

Thanks for the advice guys.

I really struggle with catching it in the squat as well.it definitely takes reps to get the form down.

Played some basketball tonight. I have two leagues starting next week so I'm trying to get my legs under me.

Yes I'm doing the full Oly lifts. Monday I catch power. Wed I catch power to a OHS or FS and Friday I catch full squat.

I would love to be able to preform the squat snatch. Guys that can do it with perfect form are very fun to watch. Outside of the big time Olympic lifters there aren't many as fun to watch as Rich Froning. His form stays near perfect even when he is near is 1RM.

I am weighing in here in a few minutes for work, so this morning during spin class I wore a hooded sweatshirt. Thought I was going to pass out. :lol:

Yes, him and a couple other crossfitters really do a nice job of things.

My calves are so freaking sore. The power clean + double under WOD we did Monday really did a number on them. Ended up with a total of 438 double unders and set a PR in the first round with 110 unbroken. Thank God today is my off day.
