I. Testimonial from Vagabond CrossFit Member:
Squat snatches are by far my most challenging lift. (No surprise, then, that their ugly cousin the overhead squat is a close second on that list.) There are a million small things that can go wrong with a squat snatch, and for me they usually do. So this morning as I struggled and failed to execute with 45#, I felt pretty defeated and was ready to just live to fight another day. I gotta thank you, Kevin, for salvaging my morning. Having me switch to a combination of hang power snatch into an overhead squat into a snatch balance for a few sets was exactly what my body and mind needed to go through to right the ship and make the hang squat snatch click. I was able to walk out of there today encouraged for the next time we do squat snatches instead of being bummed out and wondering what the hell went wrong. I KNOW what went wrong! A small moment in Kevin’s morning, but his dedication to coaching his clients never waivers and that was a huge moment in my day. Thank you!
II. Kelly’s Upcoming AAU National Powerlifting Competition:
Kelly will be partaking in the AAU National Powerliftng Competition in Rockland at the Holiday Inn. The event will start at 9:00 am, and ask any Vagabonds to come and support Kelly in her competition. Kelly will be performing the deadlift, back squat, and bench press during the competition. I am really proud of Kelly and the work she has put in over the last few months to prepare for this competition, and I know she will do very well and represent Vagabond CrossFit very well in her competition! So, get your workout in at 9 am or 10 am, and then head over to Rockland to watch Kelly perform!
