    Watching perfect snatches on youtube IWF competitions make it look so incredible simple, but, as Sylvester Ogletree said below, it takes a lifetime to perfect. I'm 68 and have a really big handicap. I've only been in the sport for 2 years. Never lifted a pound before January 2019. I've managed a snatch PR of 43 kilos and a clean and jerk PR of 57. I've been in three competitions and my weights just keep going up in the total; 90 in the first, 99 in the second and 100 in the third.

    • @calebwood8427
      @calebwood8427 2 года назад +4

      he is pushing his head through his arms to keep his back straight, the reason why you keep losing balance is probably because your not keeping the bar close to you as you bring it up. think of keeping the weight going in a straight line and "catching" it on the bottom. also think of it as one whole movement. something I would do before you do snatching is called, power snatching and that is basically just catching the weight and not squatting down after. in will teach you to keep the weight close to you.
      hope this helps!

  • @kungfury6410
    @kungfury6410 2 года назад +2

    Make sure your shoulders are over or slightly in front of the bar. Also, your elbows should be straight or locked, and the bar should contact just above the pelvic bone when standing with the bar. Also the second pull you want to explode up with the bar. You're not smacking the bar off your body to push it out, but driving it up where you will pull and then push the bar as your drop below it. There is more too, such as making sure your weight is in the center of your feet (not on the balls or heel), back straight, but keep practicing and after six months to a year you can have a general idea of what it should feel like, then you can start to make real progress.

    I have positive associations with the word “snatch”, especially when it comes to the hip thrust, so I think I’ll really love the lift as well. That said, I think that I’ll feel unusually experienced with the clean and jerk, when I get around to that.
