(quoted from my fitocracy.com account)

Getting the technique right on these lifts takes a bloody lot of time and patience.  The difference in the workout when done correctly and done incorrectly is staggering! I thought I was doing the clean & press ok until I started hitting the weights. Its really not just an arm movement, you gotta throw your entire self into it.  And the olympic bar rotates so you don't have the twist advantage in your wrist.  My PT knows how to ramp up the difficulty!  But I'll forgive him cause he's hellllllaaa cute :P

The snatch is just mindblowing, you have to have so much control of so many body parts all at once.  It confuses my little brain! I won't ever forget the first time I did a snatch with the correct form, it was completely mindblowing... Just feels like such an achievement!
