So I’m finally on my last week!! I shouldn’t say finally, I guess…because after taking a week break next week, I’m going back through and adding weights. I should probably get to the point, though. This morning, I did a 30 minute warm up on the treadmill (I never stretch before warming up…at least not deep stretches), since my muscles were complaining after my 6 mile run yesterday. After my warm up, I got good and stretched out, which turned out to be a REALLY good thing. This workout is done in Debbie’s personal gym, which rocks. She has 2 back-ups, neither had ever done this workout before. Today we started learning the snatch. I must say that the entire workout was done in a snatch grip, which has your hands all the way out on the bar. We did lower back stretches, shrugs, overhead squats, and the beginning of the snatch. This was a great workout. I would have liked to have at least one backup who knew the moves, since Debbie is walking around and talking about form…she does stop to demonstrate from the side, however. I suppose that I may be a little put off by the fact that both back ups had terrible form. Their shoulders weren’t always pulled back, and their squats were awful. I wanted to tell them to turn their toes out a little and lead with their butts! I did enjoy this workout. There was no jumping this time, although this could be hard on the knees with all the deep squats and even some moves that push you up on your toes. I cannot wait to say I can do the Snatch!! Two more workouts!
