Drills and Drills and Drills!

 I have been getting quite a few different drills from the various masterminds who have been working with me. I'll start with the weightlifting drills, which have been more of a technique focus given my recent challenges with random flare-ups.  Apparently my snatch pulls have made some significant improvements according to the mad genius!


I still have some form faults in my hang from knee snatches, which includes my knees initiating the motion instead of the hips, which sends my hips up early and takes away a lot of my power and makes it harder for me to get under the bar.  Looks like I am remembering what the mad genius is teaching me!



I do have a tendency to shift my right foot in anticipation of the jerk when I do my dip, and apparently, I do need to remember to lower my elbows after the front squat prior to actually starting my jerk. That being said, Olympic weightlifting is always a work in progress!


And then, there's the archery portion of my training...

Expansion Work...

I have been working on a handful of drills given to me by my coach, T. Muntyan, as well as incorporating various bits of extra wisdom from my dear friend Coach J.

Gator Cup 2020 Eliminations

 


My coach, T. Muntyan, is giving me a reminder of how I'm supposed to maintain a controlled and smooth expansion. Her cues remind me greatly of Coach J. Philyaw's methods with me in Olympic weightlifting, and there were several times I could hear BOTH of them telling me simultaneously during my shoot today.
