Double Snatch:
Coaching Tips on the Snatch (also known as Squat or Full Snatch):
- Set up in a deeper squat than your deadlift, with feet right under your hips
- Grip bar at your overhead squat grip
- Utilize the hook grip to avoid pulling with your arms early and to lift more
- Grip the bar and pull down into a squat, pushing the knees out with the chest up and weight on your heels
- Take a deep breath and contract your back and ab muscles
- Lift the barbell off the floor while pushing the weight through your heels into the ground
- Keeping the bar close to the shins and ensuring that the hips and shoulders rise together
- Accelerate the bar past the knees and gently pull the bar up and back as you explosively shrug and push your hips forward
- At the top of the upward shrug simultaneously pull under the bar fast into the overhead squat position
- Keep the bar overhead in line with your shoulders, hips, and heels while in the overhead squat
- Look straight ahead and not down at the floor or ground
- Push your armpits forward while arms are locked overhead as you stand up with the bar
- Complete the rep by ensuring the hips open fully at the top before lowering the bar

CF Kids Session II:
Session II will begin on July 9th and run every Saturday at 0930 (we are not running it in June due to Regionals as well as the CF Gymanastics Cert that we will be closed for 2 weekends that month). There will be 5 classes in Session II and sign-ups will be via online. We will also be closed for the CF Games from 28 July through 1 August so will take a break from the Kids program that weekend and resume the following week. Stay tuned for registration details tomorrow!
The “Twins” have arrived:
General rules on using my “Big Balls”:
- Anyone wanting to go a little heavy can always use my balls.
- Make sure you handle my balls with care.
- Please clean the balls when you are done. No one likes dirty balls.
- Always put the balls away. No one likes to see big balls just lying around.
- When throwing them, don’t be scared of the big heavy ball or it might just hit you in the face.
- No fighting over the balls. They are first come first serve.
