Snatch Balances and Walking Lunges

Today was a snatch-centric day.  Hang snatches at 80%, snatch grip deadlifts at 80% and snatch balances.  I’m still working on that last one.  With light weights I can snap under the bar, but the heavier the weight the more it looks like a snatch grip push press and subsequent overhead squat.  But even done not perfectly, I think it’s great for improving stability under the bar in the snatch.

Then hanging leg raises (can now do sets of 20, hooray!) and front rack walking lunges in the continuing project of fixing my squat.  Started with front squats to warm up (body weight 3×3) because it was actually cold here in the great state of Texas and I didn’t want to move directly into snatches.
