question simply about the form on snatches. i notice when I do snatches, it seems as if the weight is almost thrusted simply by my hips upward. it seems like in this video he does a similar type of movement? is this correct? cause i feel like when I do cleans, it is slightly different in that I do not simply thrust my hips into the bar to move it upward.. it is more simply a triple extension with a violent shrug.
Hey Broz, would you suggest that taller lifters with body styles better for pulling sort of work to their strengths and do power lifts more often than the guys built better for squatting?
@centhocklars01 Before Broz answers you, if you question refers to the difference between the full and power movement in Oly lifting, then heavy squatters are more likely to use a power jerk than others.
@centhocklars01 nope - the exact opposite! When you can make your weakness your strengths, you will be the best. It's the exercises / movements that we suck at that we must embrace and make our favorites. Everyone likes the movements that they are good at, but it's the ones they are weak at they avoid.
@tkuhns500 your retarded one rep maxes take a far heavier toll on the body, more weight = more damage, dont mistake "the pump" for damage and work actually done
@benno390 My personal experience, high rep squats with 70% of max are way more taxing and leave me ruined for days. Working to a daily SRM is not anywhere near as taxing for me.
@FTWSquat you misread sure you are much more sore but try a powerlifting comp or a oly comp where you are truely handling heavy weight and are putting up high 1rm's just because you may not be sore doesnt mean its not more taxing for some people it takes a month to two months to get back to serious lifting because a full meet is so taxing on the body
@BROZKNOWS Dear master Broz... I see that some lifters catch the bar in the clean with 4 fingers instead of 3, is this just a personal preference? Or is there a "better" choice?. I have heard that using 4 fingers requires more flexibility. It seems that rob uses 4 fingers. Myself I feel a discomforting stretch in my little finger by using 4 fingers, but I am guessing I just have to adapt and becoming more flexible. I am willing to do that, but i do not see the point if there are no advantages.
@Fushraxen some people remain hook griped the entire lift, where others rack it with 2,3 or 4 fingers - open handed. Any of those are good. That is a small technical area that's not crucial. Its personal preference. both have pros and cons.
@BROZKNOWS John are you hoping that more coaches will start adapting the Bulgarian/krastev esque for their athletes? Seems you're proving that 'getting strong' and working on technique is no substitute for great conditioning and actually practicing the oly lifts. My knees hurt just thinking of all those double sessions
@Jerrythejerboa Honestly, I really don't care what other coaches or athletes do. Use the philosophy, don't use it -- whatever floats your boat. I'm just a guy having fun, doing something that I believe in and sharing the results.
Goddamn, that is a nice lift! He does it faster and easier than Jon does, and is 200% more humble and sportsmanlike to boot. But this is driving me crazy, while Jon got all the "YEAH LONDON 2012 YEAH JON NORTH," Adell gets "steroids grumble grumble he's 96kg grumble grumble" and way less publicity. Because I'm sure Jon weighed in before making HIS "unofficial American record." What double-standards! Keep at it Adell! Looking forward to seeing you at Nats!
@desembodic It's quiet because I enjoy the sound of the weights hitting the platform. No reason to get too excited - it's only 166. When he makes 189 it might be a different story.
@BROZKNOWS john cena has visited your gym right? and his squat videos are pretty impressive 650 pound squats and stuff pretty cool....but do you agree with me that he is one of the strongest in WWE.....besides from that fatass mark henry....but i bet cena squats almost as much as mark henry.
@messifcb1998 Mark Henry is a monster. I personally watched him do an ATG 830+ BS raw. He stood up like a rocket powered elevator, then yelled "PUT SOME WEIGHT ON THE BAR!" He might carry a bit of BF, however he is a massive man. There are few people in the world as strong as him.
@BROZKNOWS okay your probably right.....but i know one guy....he is a light competitor in the mens 105+ ''Evgeny Chigishev''.....i mean c'mon dude......a 210kg snatch and 250 CJ with a height of 6'2 and a weight at ''only'' 280 evgeny chigishev remains one of THE strongest in the world....personally i like big guys better....(IM NOT GAY).............but you know as they say .....bigger is better.............and i think in one interview hossein reza zadeh stated his max back squat was400kg..880lb
@tombennettpiano Stories abound about their prowess, but one thing is for sure - They are both great examples of man's desire and ability to move massive weights.
@BROZKNOWS Ok...how about this question: Would a lifter have to squat 365kg in order to do a 250kg clean and jerk? Could he get away with a much lower squat? Of course I'm just asking your opinion in a general way, I understand that there are probably exceptions to every rule.
@BROZKNOWS I'd love to see vids of Salimi and Chigishev squatting just to compare. Chigishev is freaking explosive, if he was just a little bigger he'd own the supers.
So I watch Jon North warmup up and scream to pump himself up. Then I watch him snatch 155, 162 and then 166kg, struggling and just making it, breaking the american record and everyone screaming and cheering in the background. Then I watch this where Rob quietly snatches the same weight like he was picking up his laundry. Such a beast!
@JordanSpecops123 there is absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating a huge pr, pat mendes as done it from average broz. I love when guys like klokov hits a big lifts and is happy about it. Or when steiner won olympic gold in 08 and went ecstatic. It takes so much work to get to that level they deserve to show some emotion. I workout for that special moment when I pr
When it comes to watching competitions, I like to see the lifters show some emotion.
It's part of what makes it fun to watch for the spectators.
Training's different, though. Don't wanna let the highs get too high or the lows get too low, that kinda thing. The bar's still gonna be there tomorrow.
Any new videos of Jared snatching? He and Rob had the same lift just a few weeks ago, it would be interesting to see how Rob is progressing in comparison (or contrast?) to Jared.
@BROZKNOWS are there any set weights as to which you should have before switching to an oly routine? Similar to how you're given Untrained - novice - intermediate & elite for your bodyweight?
@BROZKNOWS If someone want to get into the Olympic lifting styles would you recommend having a good base strength before trying the CJ and Snatch or if you follow the correct routine will the strength come with it?
Meaning should I try to build up my big three first then go to the Oly lifts?
@BROZKNOWS Sweet Thanks for replying. I've asked that question to many others with no reply. I love the fact that you take the time to answer question on your videos. I'm sure mine has been asked before and you still took the time to answer me. I really appreciate that.
To answer a question someone else had about lifting the bar off the ground, bringing it back down, then lifting, and if that is legal in competition... yes, you can lift it up to your knees, bring it back down, then make another go. If it it passes your knees, and you bring it back down, your done. However, you need to get the lift off before the clock runs out - as long as the clock hasn't ran out, you can touch the ground again.
All I know is everyone of your videos from the guys at ur gym are insane!!! Probably the best strength and form for any powerlifter looking to break records!! Wish there was a gum like this in Houston
everyone thinking 170 soon.....sorry...im pretty sure 170 was passed long ago....im betting 180-185 very soon....broz is too smart to be putting everything up here on the u tube......nothing wrong with keeping lift prs close to your chest...esp with comps coming up.
Wow, super impressive lift, probably the lifter I am most curious to see their results over the next few years.
To answer all the questions about the slight pull before the snatch:
1) It is legal as long as the bar doesn't pass the knees
2) It's personal preference, some lifters like to feel the weight and use it to build tension in their muscles. It's a style choice, like how some lifters dive bomb start, others take their time. Whatever helps you lift the most weight is the best technique.
"Yes, and it's a long process for some. Takes serious dedication on the athletes part to do a lot of work outside the gym to gain flexibility."
I'm in that boat right now. Just started snatching and am having a very tough time with shoulder flexibility with anything more than a few degrees of knee bend. Can't come close to an overhead squat, let alone a squat-snatch. ATG front/back squats? No problem.
Coach, is that one of those "...long process for some", deals?
@quangfps I believe broz replied in another video that it had to do with grip. some people have said they like to "feel" the weight before the attempt. Either way it is legal in comp as long as the bar doesn't pass the knees.
@Powerbuilding16 Prob to psych himself up. I always used to kick the bar with my shine when i deadlifted, couldn't feel the pain till i did my set cause of the adrenaline :P Stopped thast habit as it fucking used to hurt sometimes, hahaha
@danxfit It's allowed as long as the bar stays below your knees. I guess it gives some lifters a feel of how heavy the weight is and how much power they should apply.
@danxfit Yes, it only counts as an attempt when the bar is higher than the knees. Doing what Rob does is good for getting the slack out of the bar before lifting.

@BROZKNOWS for those of us who do read the coaches advice:) does it motivate a stretch reflex or is it purely psychological?

@alexfischer285 So why does he do that before lifting?? I dont want to ask broz cause he will get mad :D

@quangfps I believe broz replied in another video that it had to do with grip. some people have said they like to "feel" the weight before the attempt. Either way it is legal in comp as long as the bar doesn't pass the knees.

@Powerbuilding16 Prob to psych himself up. I always used to kick the bar with my shine when i deadlifted, couldn't feel the pain till i did my set cause of the adrenaline :P Stopped thast habit as it fucking used to hurt sometimes, hahaha

The thing that Rob does where he picks up the weight, drops it, and then snatches it. Is it allowed in competition?
danxfit 1 month ago
@danxfit Yeah, but if it passes your knees then no.
clarence0 1 month ago
@danxfit It's allowed as long as the bar stays below your knees. I guess it gives some lifters a feel of how heavy the weight is and how much power they should apply.

@danxfit once the bar passes the knee you cant return it to the floor. but what he does is ok. (i think i read that somewhere)

@danxfit Yes, it only counts as an attempt when the bar is higher than the knees. Doing what Rob does is good for getting the slack out of the bar before lifting.

@danxfit I'm think as long as it stays below the knees it's okay. Salimi did something similar on his 214kg snatch at the world championships

@danxfit The way I understand it, as long as the bar doesn't go up past his knees, it's allowed. Once it clears the knees it's an official attempt.

Yes, just as long as the barbell doesn't pass the lifter's knees it is allowed.
