I would definitely do some good research on the internet and perhaps look for boxing books at your local library. Then video it and post a link here because you probably won't realize the little things you're doing wrong. We'd be glad to help (and poke fun at you).

I may have to try that 100 snatch challenge one of these days.

*Notes*
I had a pretty tiring day, i was relieved to finnaly just do some lifting, but I was tired. I drank some protein and milk before the workout but was still tired. The last set on bench wasn't really a full set cuz the reps didn't go all the way down to my chest, but I'm glad to have even done that much with them. The frontsquats were just horrible. I just can't get the right form down. i think some of my stability muscles for the front squat are just really weak. My wrist couldn't bend enough to get the bar into a comfortabe position, it felt like the bar was gona slide down my chest. I tried crossing my hands over but it just hurt and ended up in a zercher position. I'm gonna keep trying them though, it'll prolly just take some time and next time I get frustrated with them I'll do some overhead squats.

* Worked out at the gym and for the first time I was able to do weighted pullups. I went really light on the back squats cuz I need to work on the depth. I decided not to do front squats or overhead squats cuz I didn't want to embarrass myself since my form still sucks badly. Pretty good workout all and all. Just out of the breeze I decided to put 3 plates on the bar and try a PR and got it pretty easily. I think I can do more, I'll try it next week.
