Well, I was supposed to clean pull, snatch deadlift and front squat, but didn't have time today due to coaching.

It doesn't look like I was bringing my hips to the bar with speed on snatches and my weight was coming too far back on a couple of the cleans.  The work continues!

Assuming you're keeping up with back squatting, how do you know when you should focus a little bit more on front squatting?  The answer is simple: when coming out of the bottom of a clean feels/looks like a struggle!  If you're back squatting and your numbers continue to increase, you may want to sprinkle in a few more sessions of front squat to stay strong with the clean.  Front squats have great transferability to coming out of the bottom of the clean.  Get after it!
