The squat snatch is definitely my least favorite lift and it is my worst lift. The 3 reps EMOM were pretty ugly, luckily Stephen was there to give me some pointers (or "nuggets" as he calls them) which really helped, I just need to work on it more. I am definitely not executing the snatch correctly, and the more I did it the more frustrated I got because I knew I wasn't really making progress. Stephen said once I start doing individualized programming he's going to have me doing a lot of stuff from the blocks which will definitely help, I'm excited for that. The thruster/muscle workout was enjoyable, I was just breathing so heavy the whole time. All the thrusters felt really good and pretty easy, the muscle ups were done in sets of 2 until the round of 5, then they went a bit downhill. Still got all of them, just had to break them into singles. I need to learn how to do MUs without a false grip because I always end up tearing my wrists. But I am pleased with how I did on this. I always like anything with heavy thrusters!
