Fitness - Snatch Technique With Scott Then Off To San Fran For The Weekend - 1/22

After my heart rate settled down and I cooled off for a bit, Scott and I began our training. And just after 10 minutes, I was leaps and bounds ahead of where where I was on this movement.

It was incredible what he could see just from watching me for a couple reps. I've gotten into a pattern with snatching that is super inefficient, so I'm having to re-train myself and get get the correct pattern locked in. Breaking the old and setting in new muscle memory.

We worked every little aspect of the lift. From the grip, to the pull off the ground, to the press overhead in the squat and everything in between. My hips were pretty wrecked after all this work. It might take weeks or it might take months, but I'll get it cleaned up with Scott's help then I'll be looking to set some new PR's with my olympic lifts.

Calories burned (snatch work with Scott): 554

I'm taking off for the weekend and heading down to San Francisco until Monday afternoon. Looking forward to exploring, having lots of fun, experimenting with foods and enjoying the company. It's me, my girlfriend (Nikki), my girlfriends sister (Kelsi) and her fiance` (Jesse). We're all heading down there to celebrate Kelsi's birthday. Happy birthday Kelsi!!!

The good news is that even though we're staying in a little boutique hotel, they do have a fitness center. So i plan on getting in a few workouts it. Depending on what they have I'm sure the workouts will mostly contain body weight movements. I.e. push ups, sit ups, air squats, hand stand push ups, burpees, lunges, jumping etc.

I've got a few ideas bouncing around in my head as far as programming for my workouts. And who knows, they might have a pull up bar, or dumbbells for thrusters or even an olympic bar and some weights.

I most likely will not have access to a computer, nor do I want to spend time during my little vacay in front of a computer getting it all on the blog. So I'm just going to write it down on paper and enter it all in when I get back on Monday.

Have a great weekend!
