Snowy Snatch'n Valentines day

My personal snatch struggle.

Today was great.  I got to work on things that needed work. 1st  3xME Strict HSPU + Kipping HSPU , the first set used 1 Abmat and got 9 strict then 11 kipping, then added 2 #35 weights on the sides to make a real horizontal but was too hammered for much more 3,4 & 3,4.  Ben suggested exploding more with the legs on the kipping, but by the time I could practice... was out of gas. Then the WOD:

21-15-9 reps for time of:

Snatch 95/65# (full squat)

C2B Pull-ups

We spent a long time w/ the PVC going over the movement-with great instruction. Bending the knees before extending the hips back helped alot. Still moving my feet out too wide during the drop into the squat.(see pic above). Scaled down to #75 to concentrate on proper form- out of 45 reps, maybe 5 were acceptable. All the others had serious faults. The pullups were good- getting faster on the kipping(less need for hollow rock wind up), lots of good height. Took me about 15:25 but was very slow on the snatches.

Afterwards I worked on the bar muscle up. 2 bad tries w/ 1/2 an arm stuck over like this:

Ben gave some awesome critique- Apparently the kipping was good, except when I needed to be pulling  my chest to the bar as low on my abdomen as possible in an arc( I was pulling straight up) while the body floated up in the weightless moment before the brisk pull of the body to the bar down low so the hinge effect and the push up on top can occur.
 
I'm very excited now as this seems totally doable.  I fell plenty strong enough when I'm fresh- so just need a day or 2 to relax and rest then give it another try.
