Many of you asked what my favorite drills were to reinforce the timing/feeling of meeting the barbell in the snatch/clean. It largely depends on what I see is going on and why I feel the athlete is just diving into the hole — so there is a bit of trial and error.
Some common drills to help reinforce the timing/feeling of meeting the bar weight overhead are:
1. Muscle Snatches
2. Drop Snatches
3. Snatches from various hang positions
When initially learning how to full snatch/clean, many new lifters will loosely dive into the hole and count on the bar being in balance with their bodies. Learning how to meet and fix the bar before sitting to depth will not only make the transition into the bottom smoother, it will also prevent the bar from crashing down into the rack. A smooth and seamless transition from the point at which the bar is fixed and then ridden down into the bottom should be of primary focus.
