Attention Team Squatch: Please take the Mobility Class survey on the left side of the link. This will allow us to determine if any changes to the schedule or class will be made.

Power Snatch Demo from Catalyst Athletics: “The power snatch is a snatch received and stopped with the thights horizontal or above.”

Amazing demo below of a 345 lb. full snatch by US Olympian Kendrick Farris. The slow mo shows amazing power and extension and speed under the bar. Same principles apply for the power snatch only you must be more agressive and faster under the bar into the overhead squat position.

     

Notes:

Before I forget we want to send Amanda and Mike huge chest bumps and butt slaps for hosting the 1st Annual Paleo Potluck and Ugly Christmas Sweater Party on Saturday night. It was an awesome time and the sweaters had to be seen to be believed. Compromising and embarrassing pics have been posted to Facebook (of course) for you to ridcule and enjoy.
