I have a included the video round of today's workout. It's a good display of me getting frustrated & a prime reason as to why I got myself a coach other than my husband! He tells me after my 2nd miss that I'm not extending my arms on the turn out of the MU. I give him a snotty reply of, "That's not my problem right now. I need to get up in the rings!" I hit the next one & apologized soon after my workout. (Perhaps I should have kept the trucker hat on. It seemed to work well for me. haha)
KB snatches are not as smooth as they could be. They are one of my least favorite exercises. I've had to do them 3 different times in competition & only the first time (Sectionals 2010) were they an issue. That was mostly because I tried them for the first time two days prior. They came up again in Regionals 2010 paired with MUs & I took 3rd place in that workout & hit all KBs UB & smooth. A few weeks later I tried doing them in the gym with a class & was sucking so much that I actually quit the workout. One of the few that I remember not finishing. I think that was the last time I did them in the gym. They were programmed again last Dec for the Carolina Fitness Challenge & again were not a problem. In this workout today it was definitely doable but felt like more work than I'd like them to be.
The KB snatch is an example of how I tend to be a "gametime" person. In that I thrive on the energy & focus I get in competition to be able to knock stuff out. I know the better I get in training with consistency & fluidity then the more confident & consistent I will be when it is "gametime". As such, I didn't even complain to Corey about these this time around. :)
Looking forward to Saturday's workout! I have been itching during the week to not jump into some metabolic stuff, but am excited about where the strength training will take me!
