Jo got faith!
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!
