A big THANK YOU

I struggled with the push jerk the last couple of days and was getting a bit discouraged with some of the skill movements in Crossfit. Jason was kind enough to offer some observation of my movement so we could process through the problem. After much time practicing the Jerk, we realized the problem has to do with my squat balance and depth. I am not stabalizing my midline sufficiently to drop down low while staying upright. I am also dropping down lower than necessary and my shoulders are a little weak. The primary problem, however, is the midline stability necessary for balance while staying back on my heels. I now have a NEW thing to work on. I need to start working on the snatch sequence with specific target on the overhead squat and press from a deep squat position. If I can solidify this position, i will be able to land a jerk lower with the right balance and position. I can also see this giving me more posterior chain strength on my back squat. I guess my warm up just got a little more detailed. I have muscle ups a little better now, I can limit those to 1-2 times per week and hand stands to 2-3, but the overhead squat and press need to be every time. Since practicing, my glutes are really soar. That may have a lot to do with the 600 feet of lunges, but I know the deep squats are the main culprit.

thanks for the insight Jason.
