Snatch: Absolutely ecstatic with tonight’s session. Kevin told me that Catalyst Athletics programmes work but I had no idea they had this kind of turnaround! Simply awesome. Three weeks of supplementary lifting and land a 20lb PR. My life goal of a 225Kg total, doesn’t seem too far fetched anymore!
Cleans: Clean and Jerks were programmed but my shoulder didn’t feel up to it at all. So went with cleans and got another PR (10lbs).  I will say this though, I thought I had another lift in me but I literally lost my balance after the last lift; I got light headed and felt quite woozy. I can’t say I’ve ever felt that way before.
Simply the best night of weight lifting in my life 😀

Anxiety: 0 Another good day!

Reflection: Best night of snatching I’ve had since I’ve started this program. I was able to high hang snatch my 1RM snatch! All because of 2 cues that were given to me by Shane and Amanda.

  • Wait an extra second to get into the power/ jumping position before extending FULLY!
  • Move my grip in. I kept losing the bar behind me even after stabilizing in the drop.

The grip change was extremely surprising. I felt so much stronger and stable in the drop all because the grip forced the bar a bit forward. I’m quite excited to apply this change to Overhead Squats as well.
