Welcome to The Lifting Fix. Everybody, I have Aaron here and we're at CrossFit Excel. We're going to talk about load placement. So if people want to smash, they clean, they do some weird stuff their feet.
Either they go super wide or they don't really move at all or sometimes I know someone who moves one foot out, not the other one. So what's kind of a drill to be able to fix that? And a good way to do that is something that you can manage it and that's the snatch balance. Alright, so Aaron's going to grab the bar, he's a little bit of weight, in fact building up in weight is really going to help you.
And we know where he wants to put his feet. You've got to move your feet where you want them to land probably, like a little bit wider. Like right around there, like shoulder width, really you jump from your hips and land your shoulder. And if you want to get crazy and give your gym a heart attack, you can go around its whole foot or little simple little meters, little lines.
In front of his toe. Alright that kind of marks the width of where we want to be. Okay now he's putting his feet back into his little jumping stance. Good and as you do his snatch balance he's giving a little push, a little dip drive and you catch it right around parallel and ride it down to your squat.
Good, and he stays on there and stands up. And now he can stand, he can check his feet. Are they where he's supposed to be? All right, so that one's pretty close.
That one's out a little far. We just kind of drew the lines of arbitrarily, but still you've got to get the point again. And here we go. Good, same thing, right?
And so he's pretty consistent with where he's being. So use a little chalk, kind of marker and watch him. to be doing some snatch pounds and then you can ride this with your actual snatch or cleans whatever you're having the problem that kind of weird hanging problem with you can go through this drill into that one with those same foot marks there and no immediate jig.
