Worked on snatch.
Wasn't very focused. Regular crew wasn't there. Didn't have a solid plan.
Did some power snatch and some split snatch at a variety of weights. 65#, 95#, 115# back to 95#.
Just didn't feel energized. Maybe that Wendy's burger last night is to blame. ;)
As I was leaving a couple of the girls I sometimes chat with were gathered round one of the newer instructors, with 3 other members. One was going some air squats. I missed the instructor's demonstration.
A quick chat with Line and Steph and I learned it was a "Cross Training" class.
Now I have to keep in mind that it is an introductory class, much like the one I took 3 years ago, and this exposure might encourage some of them, as it did me, to seek out a real Crossfit gym and discover what it really is about.
But man, it was like watching a train wreck. You don't teach cleans with a squat if they can't squat. Teach power clean first, work on the squat independently, then combine the two later. At least Kenny, my instructor from 3 years ago had his level 1 certification. This guy clearly does not.
I'll have a chat with the girls next time I see them. Find out their thoughts on it, and maybe give them some better instruction, especially on the lifting technique.
