Snatches

Another day of lifting weights... I really don't mind as I'm always curious to see if I can lift what I have lifted before and hope to increase the weight.

Just trying to get the form down and get the lift done correctly is a challenge in itself to me.  I seemed to be able to get the bar to my shoulders but the problem I think I'm having is not using my hips and shoulders to push the bar above my head.  My elbows and shoulders just wouldn't get in sync with each other.  And my hips just don't want to help drive that bar.  I don't know what to do to get my hips to move and help with the lifting.  Not sure if it's the fact that my knees and thighs are so freakin' tight and it's just hard to bend them at times.  I asked the coach about it today and he said to do some stretches and quit favoring that leg so much.  HMMM... think I've heard that before from another coach...  That's right, they're in cahoots with one another - LOL!  I was reminded of that when the coach kept telling me... one more time, one more time, one more time, one more time.  These 2 coaches have to quit chatting or something because I feel like they're up to something - LOL!  Oh well, at least they're on the same page in making sure I do the exercises correctly ;-) 

I will say I think when the WOD is all weight lifting there really should be 2 coaches.  The guys seem to have the weights figured out and are good at watching each other.  But us girlies seem to have a harder time and some folks have lots of questions because there is a lot of concern for us in trying to make sure we don't get hurt and do the lifts correctly.
