Pullups and snatch practice

After watching Tim Dymmels beautiful snatch form, and my bent over, ugly ass( even though it feels strong) form I decided to play with tims position` and see if it would work for me. This is what I used to do in the squat(much to my chagrin and all my friends and family's consternation); mess around with technique even when it was going well, always trying to "perfect it even more", lol. One should stop when they are ahead. Things tend to go better over time.

Since with so many restrictive injuries very few things "felt" right it was hard to just let it go. I always beleived there was a stronger, faster ,better position that was just waiting to be discovered. Always discover and train your weak points, you know. So it was with the squat and so it is with my new pet project the snatch.

One thing I did learn, in retrospect, was that my instincts for what was the best squat position for me were right. Had I stayed with them and focueds on pushing hard with the best "feeling" position instead of searching for the most theoretcically and technically right position I would have been better off. Same here with the snatch and that is one of my favorite things about kettlebells; there is no ONE perfect position. Truly the commons mans strength and conditioning tool. Lots of room for individuation.

So although tims position looks pretty and is probably tims strongest position it is not mine. I immediately felt my biceps tendons say hello. I said goodby and went back to my ugly ass hi pull/snatch technique. Truth be told very few I have met are built like me.
