Goat Goal – Day 2 Goat

Notes:  The squate snatch (hang or not) is the bane of my existence.  Can’t get under the bar fast enough, or the arm straight enough, and end up pushing/jerking the thing.  Also, can’t seem to get the elbows pointing in the correct direction in order to get security overhead in the time allotted.  Translation = I am too slow to work this movement efficiently, if at all.

p.s.  Hamstrings are screaming after yesterday’s straight leg DLs.
