Welcome to The Lifting Fix everybody. I'm Danny Lehr and I have Ariana with me again and we're going to talk about moving through the positions of the snatch. All right. So in the last video we talked about what the positions look like.
So go ahead and grab the bar. and stand all the way up there. Now for your grip in the snatch, you want to make sure that you have a natural grip. Then you can get your hands out there and the bar should rest right in the crease of the hip.
One way to test it when your shoulders are back, you kind of just, boom, pick up one leg. There we go, and the bar's not going anywhere, so that's a good spot for it, okay? You know it's too low if it All right, so we have a good grip there. She's gonna go to position one real quick.
We talked about these in detail in the last video. Okay, so that's a good position one. She goes out of position two She ends up going to be vertical and then down to position three or the floor. Now to move through these positions in the snatch, she's going to do a few things the entire time.
She wants to push through her full foot throughout the movement. We don't ever want to get forward to our toes. We don't want to get crazy back on her heels. Just pushing through your full foot, driving through the ankles.
So from this good position one Shoulders are directly over the bar and the bar is directly over the balls of her feet. All right. Notice that her hips are slightly below her knees. That's just a product of her limb length.
If there was somebody who had a longer limbs, longer femurs, all right, then the hips be higher and that's okay too. All right. So from this position, she's going to push her feet through the floor and the bar is going to raise up to that good. position to So that's all it is, keeping your chest up, driving your knees back.
Okay, just pushing your feet straight down through the floor. All right, one more time, lower down again. So to go from three to two, she is going to drive her feet through the floor while keeping her chest up. So this is a good position too.
Then from here to the hip, we do not want to pull back too early. Just continue to drive her feet through. the floor till the bar passes her knees. So slowly, whoop, now once it's past her knees, she can then pull the bar into the hip, staying over the bar the entire time.
Common faults there, people will get too vertical, they're not over the bar anymore. As you can see, she is still over the bar, shoulders on top of the bar. That's very important. Another fault is pulling back too early.
You want to make sure the bar passes the knees. So one more time, down to the knees again. And position two. So she just continues to drive her feet through the floor.
All right, go ahead. As the bar passes the knees. Yep. Okay.
So up, feet, boom, and then continue to drive your feet through the floor and then bar into that good position one. From there, we are ready to finish and catch, which will be actually be in the. Next video, all right? So hang out next video, the finish and the catch of the snatch.
