Welcome to The Lifting Fix. I'm Danny Lehr and I have Buddy Hitchcock here helping me out. So today we're going to work on the snatch and we're going to work on a rhythm thing. Whenever you're learning a new skill, a lot of people really try to push it a little too early on where the simple fact of the matter is pretty much regardless of what that skill is, exercise or other stuff, a series of events really helped.
So if you really close... focus on positions, then tempo, right? And then you can add in intensity in the weight. And so for weightlifting, that is very true.
That very much holds true. So sometimes people have good positioning, but the thing they really lack is that tempo. So when you're snatching you want the bar to actually accelerate above the knee. One time I had someone tell me that they said if the snatch had a voice it would say "AHHHHHH!
" Alright so building an intensity. So some people struggle with that. So if I was going to show us a snatch where it basically goes the same speed the entire time. Go ahead buddy.
So when you look at that, you say, "Well, not a lot. "Haul watch really wrong there. " He did a good job. He hit positions.
He does a lot of things well. And that's true, but it's really important to at least attempt to accelerate that bar above the knee, accelerate the bar into the hip. All right, so one way to teach that if they can't kind of just make that little adjustment is you actually have them slow down even more below the knee. So what we're gonna do is actually a three second.
So we're gonna go one two three and that when we say three when I say three He's just be at the knee and he's gonna continue from there. He's not gonna pause He's gonna feel the change of pace and one two three Good. So we're going to do it one more time. He actually is going a little slower so that he only gets the knee at three.
So give a great example. So one, two, three. Okay. So what we're teaching there is we're actually having him slow down more at the start so that he can feel what it's like to actually change that pace.
Then he can adjust that over to his and he can go a little bit faster from the floor and his normal pace from the floor but he knows what it feels like to change speeds. Thank you, buddy. Thank you, friends.
