Get the knees back!  Pull the lats back!  "Cover" the bar with your shoulders!
8th & I

Snatch 8 x 1 + 1 (rest 10 seconds between reps) (rest 2 minutes between sets)

115, 125, 135, 145(f), 145, 150, 155(f), 155(f)

5 rounds of:

1 halting snatch deadlift + 1 snatch pull (155)
Rest 90 seconds
10 T2B
Rest 90 seconds

Tabata double-unders

Score:  30

Notes:  Emphasis today was on positioning.  The photo at the top of the page is me holding my halting deadlift.  Unfortunately, my position is a bit off and it is causing me to miss some lifts.  The shins need to be vertical in this position.  My knees are too far forward and it's preventing me from fully accessing my hamstrings.  My shoulders are also getting yanked forward.  They need to be pinned back and down.  Also, my torso is too vertical.  The shoulders should be visibly in front of the bar with more of horizontal torso.  Here's a photo of what it should look like.  Most of my flaws can be attributed to lack of mobility.  I need to keep practicing this because it is holding back my Olympic lifts.  T2B were unbroken today and very clean.  Had originally planned to do 15 x 35 double-unders (OTM); however, I only had about 6 minutes left before I reached my 90-minute training session cut-off time.  Thus, I opted for tabata-style.  Used my old rope, which felt like I was swinging a battleship.
