The power snatch, power clean, full snatch and full clean begin and end with the feet. The start is critical; if the start is weak, the middle and finish will be adversely affected. Bill Starr recommends athletes finish the pull high on the toes before moving under the bar with maximum speed and aggression.  Read more: Feet First by Bill Starr

Cinnamon, let me in...

Did you know... 

Cinnamon: Controls Glucose Levels. Cinnamon contains antioxidants called polyphenols that boost levels of three key proteins responsible for insulin signaling, glucose transport, and inflammatory response. Sprinkle one half teaspoon on your food to slow carbohydrate absorption by 29 percent.
Marks's Daily Apple

Although there are four main varieties of cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon are the most popular.

Ceylon cinnamon is sometimes called true cinnamon. It is more expensive and has a sweet taste. The quills are softer and can be easily ground in a coffee grinder. Ceylon cinnamon is sold in specialty stores.

Most cinnamon sold in supermarkets in North America comes from the less expensive variety, Cassia cinnamon. It has a darker color and the quills are harder. Unlike Ceylon cinnamon, it can't be easily ground into a powder using a coffee grinder. Cinnamon for Health
