LEARN HOW TO BARBELL SNATCH IN 5 STEPS!
-
What’s up, Achievers?! @jasonlpak here talking about barbell snatches for only the third time on our account! The main reason we haven’t talked about the Olympic lifts that much is because we didn’t think many of you performed them - they’re a bit more niche and they’re also a lot more complicated and complex than most other exercises you’ll encounter in the gym. However, with the rise in popularity of CrossFit, it’s pretty clear that the Olympic lifts have really hit the mainstream. Having said all this, we did our best to share at least a starting point for the barbell snatch.
-
We learned most of our Olympic weightlifting knowledge through @camargo_oly @olyconcepts and @catalystathletics and @usa_weightlifting so definitely give them a follow if you haven’t already. There are also a million different ways to teach the snatch and it’s positions and we frequently change things up based on the lifter we’re coaching. You might call the “high hang” position the “power” position, and you might also perform it with a more inclined torso. That’s totally cool and your choice! There’s a lot of room for stylistic differences and you should utilize whatever approach that works for you.
-
Also, it’s important to note that the Olympic lifts take an incredible amount of time, patience, practice, mindfulness, mobility, and effort to even begin to be mildly consistent. It took me a good year and a half of dedicated practice to look consistent from rep to rep and consistently hit heavier percentages.

We hope this post helped you out! Until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles! ✌️

A great accessory chart from @barbend on how to improve certain areas of your snatch! Chart made by @thej2fit and Head Coach @mikejdewar ⠀
⠀ ⠀
“Building better lifts #snatches comes from a combination of technique and timing, explosiveness, positional strength, and mobility training.
_
Here's a quick flow chart to address potential areas you might need to address to improve your positional strength, muscle mass, and reinforce proper positions for the snatch. Keep in mind, these are only a few of the exercises that can help, and often a combination of movements within a program may be the best choice!
_
Note, that the above exercises are primarily accessory movements, meaning that their goal is to reinforce positional strength, build muscle, and supplement a well designed Olympic Weightlifting technique and strength movements. Most of these can be done after the main Olympic lifts and strength work (squats and pulls) of the day.
_
Start by selecting 1-2 accessory exercises per training day and perform a few sets (3-5) with moderate rep ranges (3-8) and loading. The focus should be on positional strength and competency in the movements.”
Excellent post from BarBend writer @mikejdewar!

Squats!! ️️ We know they are good for us, but maybe there's a point that is tricky to control- whether you are someone that is just trying to get good safe #bodyweightsquats or you are in the gym regularly #weightlifting with a #barbell and working on #snatches or heavy cleans. .
.
Squatting demands mobility and control from the ground, upwards, around each joint.
.
Try this drill out for a few days .
Find a doorframe- preferably one with see clearance on the other side, and a deep enough ridge to grip with fingers, as needed. (You can use the rig in the gym, too, but don't rely on it too much)
.
.
The closer you are to the frame, the more each joint needs to move to get low into the squat AND the more you need to maintain spinal extension to prevent face-planting into the frame
.
.
Make it challenging by scooting in closer, using fingers less, moving more slowly (or adding pauses) through the range, or reaching up into an #overheadsquat position .
Find the version that is challenging but possible for 5-8 reps and do 2 rounds per day for the next week. .
Record the first version and tag me in- then check back after three days of practice. ☑️

Do you spend most your day slouched at a desk? Shoulders round/fall forward? Get neck pain? Have a hard time sitting up straight? Or want to get “better” posture?
__
Regardless of which, this can help out
__
Included above is an easy, big bang for your buck exercise that can address many of those. Here’s some of what you can get from it
__
1️⃣ Improved thoracic extension (ability to reverse the slouch of your upper back.) This can be emphasized more by placing a half foam roller between the back & wall
2️⃣ Improved pec major and minor mobility. Making it easier to kept the shoulder blades on the ribcage & fight that shoulder rounding
3️⃣ Improved Latissimus Dorsi mobility. Making it easier to get your arms overhead without elbow flare or your back arching
4️⃣ Improved shoulder external rotation. Making it easier to get in a front rack position among other things
__
So. If you spend all day in that slouched position try tossing this in a couple times a day to help keep yourself moving well

Thanks for reading!
DO YOU HAVE TIGHT HIPS AND GROIN? Sound on
-
This is a great stretch but might gain a couple stares if you do it in public! It’s for the inner thigh/groin but also helps with rotation in the hip especially internal rotation!
-
HERE'S HOW TO PERFORM THE TACTICAL FROG!
-
1️⃣ Start with your forearms on the ground.
2️⃣ Elbows under shoulders and knees under hips and place the knees wider than shoulder width apart.
3️⃣ Find a neutral position in the low back.
4️⃣ Rock back into your hip and try to maintain the neutral, low back position.
5️⃣ Once you feel the stretch in the groin, begin to rock forward.
6️⃣ As you are rocking forward lift one ankle up towards the ceiling.
7️⃣ Rock back to the starting position.
8️⃣ Repeat on the other side.
