[niggabartlebee]

[ShannonVenasse]

it's not that painful on the shoulders actually. but it will give you strong shoulders and traps.

[efisgpr]

ok any1 know how tall this guy is? i can't stop thinkin' about it.

haha, even if i agree that he offers great instruction!

[yobolion]

Most people will never reach a Snatch of 1.75x bodyweight! Bodyweight Snatch is great!

[mtncur]

Best instruction I've seen since Tommy Kono's S&H series back in the 1970's. Power is available where you find it. Olympic technique and kenisthetics is what makes this sport. So simple that it's beautiful and pure athleticism measured and judged by the weight on the bar.

[mike7ace]

Its sucks when you bust your nuts, dick, and nose while weightlifting

[SR4LosersIsMYBITCH]

@mike7ace how often does that happen?

[Bsnakes]

good vid

[trance4mation]

this video gives you a good idea of olympic weightlifting but olympic weightlifting isn't something you can learn from watching a video or 2 online, the real teacher in olympic weightlifting are the aches/injuries you get as a beginner, when your wrist starts aching, you know damm well as soon as your wrist heals, you better change to the olympic weightlifting hook grip, when your bustin your testicles in accident in the snatch, you know damm well when u recover, you better widen that grip

[BreaksWax]

ha ha funny shit trance, a lot of people have to figure out the hook grip the hard way. The ball accident, well not everyone has enough ball to go that heavy. Snatch, it's not just what you do after dinner and a movie anymore.

[LifterNZ]

Can you explain to me how hook grip would stop your wrists from aching?

[AyeTribeCalledFresh]

To China, and to Hawai'i... lol

[katrinski]

[memento230879]

This is the most informative video on olympic weightlighting I've come across so far. Thank you for the post.

[300MUSIC]

Is olympic weightlifting good for building muscle mass as well? im j/w b/c im not around olympic weightlifting much

[ech969]

You won't get nearly as much muscle growth from Olympic lifting as you would from muscle-specific exercises, but the real benefit of Olympic lifts is that your ENTIRE body is involved in the lift. This means everything gets stronger, if not bigger.

[300MUSIC]

so f your like a master at Olympic Weightlifting, this makes you like more powerful or something?

[DevastatorBloc]

olympic weightlifting will make you strong, powerful, and EXPLOSIVE.

[daveprunedale1]

You gain mass in the legs, hips, and back, mostly. The mass gains come a little slow. But, it seems like the gains come a little slow in bodybuilding as well.

[RRFCaptain]

Haha, STRENGTH gains come slow in bodybuilding too I find...

[trratuar]

This gay teaching good snatch. This correct and  good technique.

[triisgaard]

Straps are pretty normal when doing sets af snatches. Let's you focus on the lift instead of the grip.

[freddyfastfingers]

you need to wear compressions shorts or something to keep your sack from moving all over the place, OR you are jumping and kicking the hips foreward at the wrong time

or just wear a jock

[Met666]

who cares about the straps, despite the fact I am usually against them for deadlifts, cleans etc....but his technique is spot on. He is just trying to teach you how to power snatch correctly.

[plyzwthsqrlz]

How do you not whack your sack doin that? I tried it and i was rollin on the gym floor clutchin my nuts. No joke, i wanna know how you can prevent that...

[flexmaster1800]

contact with the bar should be made just above that area. it happens to everyone, i would suggest widening your grip slightly to hopefully prevent it from happening again.

[pr0mark123]

uh, ive done that before, hah i know it hurts like hell. on the pull above the knees, do not bend your arms, if you bend your arms the bar does not excelorate and when you push with your "hips" you probablly did it in the wrong area. in short "finish the pull"

[DancerInTheHeart]

Either you have skinny thighs or highly protruding testes.

[lazyA33]

the straps were lame but good stuff

[SoftwareSoul]

he used straps to insure that each power snatch was executed with perfect technique.

[andreex89]

damn fast good video

[aidanphilipson]

v good technique, brilliant

[datsun888]

His name is Chad Ikea(sp?) and I had the privilige to get to know him 9 years ago. He is one of the best lifters I have ever seen!

[watchthis22]

his name is halil mutlu. obviously you didnt get to know him very well...

[PilferSeven]

he called him CHAD in the video. I think you are jealous cause you were busy gettin cozy with Halil, who you thought was Chad.

[shmkrchyk]

Awesome! Straps! 40 kg snatch! Straps! Awesome!!!

[Apjooz]

Haha. Straps rock! Straps for the win! No, seriously, this dude should throw them in the garbage.

[colinbirdman]
