Got wing span? Reason #1,341 why I love Oly: it can work for all different body types regardless of shapes and sizes.

There’s technique to missing weight that can be overlooked by new weightlifters entering the scene — such as missing a weight behind. Having the grip wide enough to allow a successful pass behind your body ensures that if that bar is going too far back that you can safely eject out front. Believe it or not, most new lifters are afraid or won’t miss behind the body due to the uncertainty of what or how it might happen.

The power position occurs after the readjustment phase in the knees placing the lifter in an optimal position to deliver power to the bar. Having the heels grounded at this point aides in both power production and proper bar trajectory.

The muscle snatch is a great exercise to aide in developing the rotational strength required in pulling under and then turning over during the 3rd pull phase of the snatch.

Added benefits for the beginner include training the 1st and 2nd pull under reduced loads to enhance motor control capabilities while still being able to produce a good stimulus in other areas of the lift.

A strong position for stacking load overhead. Calen Hall - 77kg lifter - chasing down the 100kg snatch.

Calen exhibiting an extremely efficient transition between his 2nd and 3rd pull. You can see from the elevation in his hair that he’s already on his way down while the bar still has it’s own momentum up.

@slagatron_ asks:

How do you prevent your chest from dropping and the hips not remaining under the shoulders as you come out of the bottom of a heavy back/front squat or a heavy clean?

Assuming things are looking good at the lighter weights, we can assume that the athlete has already been addressing any mobility and flexibility issues that would limit him/her from being in a good position.

Bryan Diaz, 2012 CrossFit Games competitor, exhibiting a strong starting position in his snatch.

Bryan finished strong in the South Central Region. We look forward to watching his journey towards the 2013 Games!

Matt Chan (@matt1chan) sequence of a 93kg/205lbs snatch. Still well within Matt’s ability, he’s taken a step back to rebuild his positions as he regains strength and confidence from knee surgery.
