wow snatching for some months now learning technique only from youtube and competitions this helped me a lot greetings from germany keep up the good work!
Thank you for these short, but information packed, videos addressing specific issues and aspects of the lifts. I’m new to the Olympic lifts and your videos have been very helpful
Utopia of weightlifting bliss 😂. Super useful to continue extending the hips after contact. Something that was definitely missing for me. I will get those exercises dialled in. Thank you!
Thanks. Will add more stuff from power position. I have also been doing snatches with no feet lately and it really seems to be helping me finish my leg drive. Is that something you think also helps with this problem?
It can but most people do them poorly, which not only doesn't help, it actually makes the problem worse. See this - th-cam.com/video/dXG3eNMdC1Y/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the good video, Mr. Greg. Like your advice, I try to pull the bar as high as I can, but the more I do, the less time I have to lower my body down the bar. My legs don't bend fast.
I didn't say pull the bar as high as you can - that's not what we want. Maximal PRODUCTIVE extension, and by productive, I mean that you don't exceed what's providing the most time and space combined to get under the bar. If you continue pulling too long, e.g. perform more of a high-pull before moving under, you're losing so much bar speed that even with that additional elevation, you actually have less time to get under the bar.
Hi Greg, was wondering what you think I was told for short pulling, pause snatches/cleans at knees and thighs then finish lift are good to correct this fault ? Kindest regards
Contact point is lower but that doesn't change how the body is extending (or shouldn't), and it's even more imperative you guide the bar up against the body since that lower contact point will make it far more likely for the bar to stay or move away from the body after that contact.
Another good accessory is a hang muscle snatch, but remain static. The arms and upper/mid back will do all the work. It will help with muscle memory to finish the pull.
Tall muscle snatch is a good exercise but I'd disagree for finishing the pull since it's strictly the upper body mechanics of the pull under the bar, occurring after the pull has been finished.
I think if you tacked on about 13 minutes of training footage at the end you would get more views.. Not sure but all the biggest YT people seem to have about 15min videos. Something to do with monetization I think.. Thanks for another great video, and all the great content
You're probably right, and it's just one more of many things I'm not willing to do since it's a complete waste of time. I'm OK with being less popular for doing what I think is valuable than being more popular because I invest time and energy decoding what various social media platforms want me to do that has nothing to do with creating useful content.
It’s like you have a secret camera watching me lift then post these videos as direct critiques lol ty so much.
hahaha I was thinking the same thing!

This is a challenge I have and I keep hearing "I need to trust my hips more". Thank you for sharing this

This is high class material. Very easy to understand. Love it.
Thanks for all these videos... really helps me improve my lifting.
You always show up with the answer to a question I e only just started asking. One step ahead of the game my friend. Fricking A.

Going to try this next, thank you Greg and your whole Team!!
Great help, as always
Recovering from a small back injury and just about to head to the gym. Perfect timing! This is one of the things I need to focus on.
Appreciate the video and cues, Thanks Greg!
Excellent, as always
Excellent tutorial as usual and laugh out loud open! Thanks
pressing like and seeing it go from 999 to 1k = very satisfying .
Good stuff, as always.

@@CatalystAthletics sounds good thanks.
How can I protect my delicate parts when doing the third pull?
Awesome!

Worth trying, but no exercise is guaranteed to fix any problem for all lifters.
Shoutouts to dog at the gym to bring better recovery and release of stress for the athletes.
'nuff said.💪
Me gustaría que estos videos estuvieran traducidos. En canales de español hay muy poca información
Need more blue + blankie content, please.
Greg,
Wouldn't this be more specific to the snatch rather than the clean? Since cleans mostly contact the upper thigh rather than the crease?
Contact point is lower but that doesn't change how the body is extending (or shouldn't), and it's even more imperative you guide the bar up against the body since that lower contact point will make it far more likely for the bar to stay or move away from the body after that contact.

@@CatalystAthletics Haha, well said.
Appreciate you very much sir.
Coach: finish your extension
Me: WTF DOES THAT MEAN!?!?
Greg: here
Coach: It means you have to extend and finish the lift.
❤❤❤
