• The combination of high intensity rowing and snatching can be tough on the arms
• Being as efficient as we can with timing can help minimize pulling fatigue
• To practice this we’ll isolate each part of the stroke:
Just Legs
Legs + Hips
Full Stroke (Legs + Hips + Arms)
• This allows us to work on the leg drive and hip swing before the pull with the arms
• The first two parts make up 90% of the power, while the arms only account for 10
• Relax the arms and let the lower body do most of the work

30 Seconds Legs + Hips (Locked Arms)

POWER SNATCHES – Timing
• Just like on the rower, let’s aim to get most of the power from the legs and the hips
• It can be helpful to flex the triceps in order to maintain straight arms until we reach triple extension
• Pull with the arms only after the hips open
• We’ll practice this timing with some hang high pulls into positional power snatches

Marcus Aurelius breaks down a good deed into two positive results:
1. You did good
2. You helped another
The first positive result is that you did good. Every good deed is a vote towards ourselves becoming better human beings. The second is that your actions helped another. Whether big or small, you’ve benefitted another human being today.
There is a "third thing" that one can seek, and it was Marcus strongly speaks against: credit.
When one contributes with a good deed, doing right by oneself, and doing rigiht by another, is enough. The desire to receive praise for such an action is the pitfall he warns against. To go around expecting thanks is what he deems as greedy, which can trickle into other areas of life.
