FullSizeRender 21Eddie, in a deep power stance. Narrow grip, "wriggly" weights, NBD! Tomorrow, we SNATCH!  We're working towards an Olympic Total, so we'll be spending some more technique time on developing different stages of the Snatch and Clean and Jerk.  Tomorrow, we pull from the floor but finish in a power stance (not as deep as Eddie's above, and no, he didn't snatch my kids!).  We'll review and drill the steps, looking to fine-tune each component.  Jenny and Eddie will have you dialed! Check the stages below and study UP, there might be a test.
