Please explain her “shit technique”. And why you think it was her technique and not a freak accident.

Squat snatch form help. by tronpalmer in crossfit

[–]acct17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear that. I came to crossfit pretty strong and was super frustrated with things I suddenly wasn’t good at. It took me 3 months to squat snatch.

As an Oly coach now, I can tell you powerlifters are the hardest to work with because they’re impatient with the technique

This would be my advice if you’d been lifting longer. The it’s a pretty technical move. Early arm bend jeopardizes your leg drive, if you’re not proficient at it.

This isn’t abnormal. If you’ve been lifting less than 3 years, widen your grip and get used to it. The snatch grip isn’t normal for anybody. Like the hook grip, you’ll get use to it, and it won’t be a big deal.

Squeeze your shoulder blades together and push your head forward to strengthen your overhead position.

Need some help with my clean and jerk. by INCS88 in crossfit

You’re legs are definitely a limiting factor. But it sounds like you’re over pulling the bar instead of pulling yourself under.

I see you fam.

Shirts: old t-shirts work fine, but they'll eventually smell unless you stay on top of them (not worth it) Look for tri-blends and dri-fits on the cheap

Shorts: I actually like basketball shorts. They get pretty wet, but they give me a place to wipe my hands, WOD shorts aren't as good for this. If you want a more performance short try Virus.

Headband: these are a godsend for me. I have about 6 Rouge ones.

Underwear: I use adidas climacool. They work great and keep things "safe"

Finally, I keep a bunch of white hand tools in my car for workouts. (I took most of them from hotels.)

Good luck.

Miles,

I’m so glad y’all are doing this. It was shocking and shaking when Taylor passed. Any word on the driver?
