Favorites this week – 3 position clean and no hook/no feet snatch. What a nice way to feel different/new positions in these lifts that normally don’t realize because so focused on getting bar overhead.

Knocking rust off after years of neglecting snatches. I couldn’t even do the bar on the overhead clean grip squats. First time trying those. I’m slowly getting it back though after my second week on the program. I’m doing 20-30 min of upper and lower body mobility drills a day, slow progress but progress. Any specific shoulder mobility recommendations? Currently doing Wall Slides, leg Crossovers with full arm circles, Spine Twist Reach Up, basic peck stretches trying to unglue the pectoral from the delt muscle after years of bench press without stretching…
