Working the Snatch - technique, technique, technique!

[manlycurlsDOTcom]

@ownedlol123 It gives the impression that she hits the barbell but she doesn't. Her technique is perfect and she triple extends optimally. The timing is perfect so that the hips go forward and the barbell is shrugged a split second later, then she goes under the barbell.

Feel free to check my blog and videos for more Olympic weightlifting-friendly content.

All the best.

She will make a fortune teaching this to professional athelets

[ownedlol123]

It's amazing. Just amazing...

I have a question:

¿why Cara kinda hits the bar with her hip and then gets under it when performing the snatch?

I'm told by my weightlifting coach that i should lift it with my legs and by rising my elbows.

Is because i'm a noobie in this sport? or is a different technique?

Beau travail!



[portugaljoao777]

well done

[aguilar69]

MUCH RESPECT 2-U.

[cthulhex]

Do you hit the barbell forward with your hips? my trainer doesn't let me do that, I want to show him that you have a heavier snatch than me.

[countrylifterdw]

any body know if she's trying for London?

[jomollow]

She throws her head way too far back. She should be far more upright at the top of her pull.

[DubStepBangers]

crazy strength right there, im 21,m, at like 75kg and I couldn't even do that once.... not yet anyway

[ThunderFire101]

Excuse me if I am wrong, but aren't those called Squat Snatch (done from the blocks), rather than Power Snatch (without the full squat)?

[jlmknight]

dammmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnn i wish i could do that

[Kayabeejah]

Amazing

lol love kyle's classic look in the background.

Seems like she really loves OL Weightlifting which is great. In the UK, these lifts are hardly practiced which is a real shame. I really want to learn the snatch as my technique is all wrong and I can't seem to turn to anyone for advice/tips. I'm relying on a dvd instructional by Jim Schmitz.

[crazyfool8839]

who's the old guy in the back?

[MrRamdor]

That is some good speed+ technique

[panjabiwarrior]

shes pretty good!

[ss4vegeta1]

Nice Lift

[ObamaTheRealLoser]

It's amazing how the makers of society can fool woman, and men, aswell, into believing that woman are so much weaker than men. This is PROOF that it aint true.

[pmilleroly27]

This is the one lift I can't seem to improve.

[llennroy]

and she's not even that muscular. She's like perfect.

[WestWythyJosh92]

great job cara

[liz5ismygoddess]

Damn!  That was impressive.

[YoungJeezy333]

good lift, good song too.

[frizbee211]

a) look at how far back the hips are at the beginning

b) watch how far the head/chest thrust backward during the lift

c) notice that the hips thrust forward and the head/chest thrust backward, effectively changing places (front-to-back & back-to-front)

[rizzo02481]

wowsa! I wish I could do that! Hmmm only 30 more kg to go ...

Way to go Cara! I hope to be like you some day

[Mikeyburger3]

very explosive 1st snatch

[attrell]

I remember watching you lift at the World Championships in 2000 or 1999 while I was living in Germany. I looked for the tape that I recorded and posted it on my site.

Keep up the work and good luck.

That's amazing, Cara. It looks more mental than it is physical.
