Great progress since I last checked in. Weights are just going up and up!!
What’s the reason behind the 20 snatches in 20 minutes?, were they your idea or your coaches? and what benefit are you getting from them?.
I ask because I like the sound of them![/quote]
The came from the coach and the idea is to work on making all snatches look the same. At the lower weight it’s doable too so it feels good to hit the snatches consistently and I think it really helps imprint the movement into your brain.
I seem to be able to get a few really nice lifts right after too.
Give them a shot! I really felt a lot of improvement getting quicker under the bar with them. I haven’t logged it here but I hit 105lbs snatch last night so the drills seem to be working.
I reckon a person’s 30s and 40s are their most attractive years. Or rather, have the potential to be. Really shows who’s been living well and looking after themselves - physically, mentally, spiritually.
Let’s face it, most people look and act decent in their late-teens and 20’s but youth will almost do that for you alone.
The 35-45 year old (or even older) who still has that youth and athleticism (or is even better than what they were when younger, because of living the training lifestyle), coupled with strength and wisdom … now that is something to behold. Rare, of course, but that’s what makes it special when you see it.

I love this. Here’s for keeping in shape, aging well, and feeling great while we do it! I don’t like getting older, but this is so TRUE. And the benefits of training do spill over into all the other aspects of life.
Hey Brute! I’ve kinda let my log go…I’m still lifting but I decided to go stealth
