Not quite. Although the split snatch is not as popular as its cousin, the squat snatch, the complexity of it provides our nervous and muscular systems with a great workout too.
Multi-joint, closed kinetic chain exercises involving strength and speed should be practiced under minimum loads while the body first adapts to the movement pattern(s). Though only 8 months postpartum, Amy is beginning to incorporate some power moves into her regimen. Of course, this is done safely using a light dumbbell until her body is ready for the big dogs next time!
I love seeing Amy at the gym, building her strength back up. She’s so focused and unassuming. You’d never know what a rock star she really is. I can’t wait until the day she busts out 10 pull-ups like it was nothing. Talk about someone making pull-ups look effortless!
I agree Shari- all the newbies have a treat to behold in Amy’s strength, determination and subtle ways.
Amy’s on fire! Total inspiration for us all!!!
I love the silent but deadly look.
Ditto on Amy’s ability to make everything look effortless. She is the quiet storm.
That’s one kick ass Bunny!
