Alex Power Snatch

First few with the yellow is 70% of max, with blue is 80% of max. The 70% power snatches were 2 sets of 3 reps, I was just filming random lifts. The 80% power snatches were 4 sets of 1 rep, and they were performed in the same order as they appear on video. The second 80% power snatch where he only pulled the bar 1.35m I consider a fluke lift because he hadn't mentally recovered from that sketchy first rep with that weight, the other repetitions are more consistent so disregard that second rep for analysis unless you want to see how much of a factor the mind can be after a bad lift.

well done mate..^_^

i have a question..is the foot stomp really necessary?

[crackyflipside]

@lakanbaboy Yes, you want as little air time as possible in the lift. With heavier weight there is less airtime as it becomes easier to pull body under bar.

The way to think of it is that the only time you can exert force on the barbell is when your feet are in contact with the platform. Even when you are going under bar you are still exerting force on the barbell so you want your feet on the floor as quick as possible. Also when your feet smack the floor it adds more instant force to the bar.

too loopy! same problem as before, needs to get feet further under bar and pull from the middle of his foot and then his heel back angle is not maintained long enough

needs to go back and break down movement with hang snatches, snatch grip stiff legs, slow pulls from the floor

I'm not sure what you mean feet further under the bar, he does need to start with his shoulders more forward over the bar.

@crackyflipside ok, Thank you very much for the info ^_^

Yeah that looks to be the culprit, you have normal proportions so the bar should be right over your metatarsal phalangeal joint. For me, I need to have the bar a little further out since I have a short torso.
