A slow starter that finished strong is what I had going today. Before I went to train, I had the chance to see Danny McDermott coach his young Oly lifters in their well-appointed garage gym. After watching these kids snatch, I realized that whatever it was I have been doing is not the snatch! Well, at least I got an invitation to come back and train with these guys!

My warm-ups today consisted of 3 rounds of dislocates, overhead squats, and Burgener warm-ups. I continued with:

MT Bar Squat Cleans, 3×3.
MT Bar Snatch Lands, 3×3.
MT Bar Snatch Drops, 3×3.
MT Bar Snatch, 3×3.

Next up were Hang Squat Cleans, 7×3:
65/90/100/110/120/135/145.

It became more up-tempo with 32 kg kettlebell swings at 15/21/25/25/.

To wrap it up today I did 2 x100 meters of the slosh pipe; 1 was a Zercher carry the other, an overhead carry. Started slow, but finished strong!
