another day in....

Still doing snatches with 8kg today I did 20/20, 20/20. I've cut out the back pressure/diaphragmatic holds as a separate activity. Instead I've started focusing on a deep inhale at the top of the snatch. It really adds to the amount of 'smooth' extension I can achieve. I think that my form may actually not been as crisp as it should have been. The weight was light and because of it I think I may have been going lordotic without fully realizing it. So with the deep diaphragmatic breath and just enough glute tension I was able to take care of it, and it was a different feeling all together. Thats the thing with all of the Z concepts, close is good, but precise is better, and as long as your willing to keep sticking to it the precision gets 'easier'. Not so much to do but at least to be aware of it. As I do more with the breathing, I'll post more, it's a new avenue for me but I think there's a lot to gain from it.
