Love how Alan listens and learns patiently without interrupting, letting Zack’s instruction take center stage the whole time. No ego, always learning more!
How dare you mock our lord Dr. Seedman. I have been doing eccentric focused bamboo kettlebell half half squats and my knees regrew after they exploded doing a set of "normal" squats.
so glad your building a relation with zack, his a good guy, ive watched him many times. Once in his video he forgot his shoes to the gym(basement/garage) and made a PR with flipflops, thats when i realised this dude is spartan af
Zach's "functional coach" imitation here was DEAD ON lol, I urge him to explore this more - perhaps consider a dedicated channel for that purpose. Beautiful work...
Great vid, super informative and perfect intro! Cliff notes if you like written stuff: 1) muscle snatch(strict, lead w elbows) 2) same as last but catch at top 3) hips back, pin bar, find toes, go 4) contact drill (set same as last, let bar come out, snap w arms and pull up and not in, let bar rattle, as you progress get into flow) 5) contact high pull>contact snatch>low(below knee)contact snatch 6)touch n go reps(top down, helps not yank) 7) eccentric reps(slowww down, grab bar, go, hips above knees, shoulders above hips, shoulders covering bar) Back and forth thru progression until 👌
As a college basketball and football player the power snatch, power clean, with atg squats and deadlifts were essential to my growth as an athlete I believe. As my lifts grew in these I performed better
Zack you have a depth of perspective and sarcasm that resonates! Well done calling out the poseurs. Anything to avoid heavy weights seems to be the order of the day, as well as avoiding full range of motion. Let’s replace a complex movement with an even more complicated circus trick! Always look forward to you videos. And totally agree that Mr Thrall shows his character in his respect and attention to instruction - he takes as well as he gives (in previous post where he trains Zack in strongman movements
Dude I literally have been pondering this question since yesterday. Thank you. I’ve recently been adding these to my programming and they’ve helped with my power clean a ton, I find the PS easier to learn than the PC. This video answered all my questions about it.
Lol at the intro and the Clarence Kennedy callout. Also just wanted to point out how good of a student you are, I see a lot of people host others on youtube but they won't stop talking over them. Respect
I want to see the bloopers from the beginning of the video because there is no way "functional training center" didnt make you guys laugh. Also, the way you were able to take instruction and apply it, even after being as strong as you are and having experience with the snatch is incredible. Also the Kennedy callout lololo I love it
Thanks to both of you, I was afraid to try power snatch because it looked so hard so I did only power C+J but now when I tried these drills I found out its actually not that hard!
Hey Alan! Love your videos. just a quick suggestion regarding coaching and how to videos. I personally think it would be a lot more beneficial to see someone like Zach teaching a more beginner/intermediate lifter rather than yourself, as you're noticeably more experienced and are able to get into positions much easier.
I learned to clean wrong and to snatch right. I've gotten along with the power and squat snatch a lot more than any clean I've done. I don't enjoy the clean, but I'm falling in love with the snatch
This is a great example of how people of the left or left based try to argue with the right or right based all the way to 3:45, very accurate. But I've been doing a lot more Snatches and Cleans and that has made me more explosive on Squats, Deadlifts and Push Press.
I cannot thank you enough for all the information i got from this channel i learn how to squat ,deadlift (not perfect but enough to start and progress) and now i wanna move barbell faster .
This progression is great !!¡ I am just a begginer and it 's been really helpful . Could you make another one on the clean ? Zack and you are very good together
Great stuff, totally agree about power snatch vs power clean. Power cleans might be easier to learn, but power snatches are just so much more enjoyable to me.
Being so coachable is a mark of a true master. Always a student of their craft. Would love to train with these guys. It'd be worth the trip to Sac. lol
Regarding 22:10 I've also seen the perspective that if you are strong, but not technically proficient in the snatch, it can be a good idea to do the snatch after the major strength movements, because that way the exercise can be physically challenging with a load that is under the lifter's *technique* max.
I've always liked power snatches, but haven't been programming it in much lately due to my current gym lacking bumper plates. Anyway, the point of contact had been inconsistent for me and just the other day I was working in some one arm barbell snatches and it just aligned perfectly for me as I shifted away from the mindset of shooting my hips forward and focused more on accelerating upwards through triple extension, which naturally brings the bar in contact with the hip when the timing is right. I haven't been back to see how this translate to the regular two-handed variant, but over the years has noticed when it felt right and when I was simply brute strengthing it up. Think my hand position my be hindering me as the bar may not be at the right height during my second pull, but that's something I'll have to work on next time I hit the gym.
Thanks for putting this kinda stuff up. I drive a truck so my "functional movement facility" is limited to a barbell and some bands. Although I may add an amazon mobile squat rack... Aka blunt guillotine. Just gotta figure out how to modify it so I don't die. After 5 years of sitting for 14hrs a day it's caught up. And I'm pushing 40 years old. So... Again thanks for this type of content. I'm 2 months into eating food I make (harder than you might think on a truck) 1 month into lifting and one month into TRT. I feel like a completely different person.
This is a fantastic video, great coach and student. I have been doing the typical powerlifting movements for over a year now and I am finding myself massively interested in weightlifting. It is quite a bit more technical and without a coach I've been struggling to get the confidence/know how to give it a shot. I shall be practicing the power snatch at the gym tomorrow!
Love how Alan listens and learns patiently without interrupting, letting Zack’s instruction take center stage the whole time. No ego, always learning more!
Totally. He's such a cool dude. Ok, both of them are. Props.
ego? he's a human meatbag just like everyone else, myself included.
Lol "movement laboratory" "functional training center" I've never thought of it like that.
Erick Heera *cough cough* Lord Cameron Krug aka BreaktheBox fitnes
How dare you mock
our lord Dr. Seedman. I have been doing eccentric focused bamboo kettlebell half half squats and my knees regrew after they exploded doing a set of "normal" squats.
That seed guy is having too much frufru lol
half half squats lmao
Thankyou! Finally someone who has read the artical!
Bro those results are sick!
Eccentric? Pff. I only do eccentric isometrics.
I am constantly amazed by how explosive weightlifters are.
It's hella jumping
Watch Arley Mendez if you want to see some explosions
It's the knees for sure
Clarence0 sounds like a cannon when he does power clean.
Yep. That’s why they have a great vertical leap.
You guys ripped that guy into pieces. Love it.
so glad your building a relation with zack, his a good guy, ive watched him many times. Once in his video he forgot his shoes to the gym(basement/garage) and made a PR with flipflops, thats when i realised this dude is spartan af

I would 100% watch a full channel of zack playing this kind of reverse dom mazzetti movement scientist
Finally somebody calls out Joel seedman on his bs
Barbell medicine did that too tho on Instagram
I had never heard of this guy 😂
There's so many of these "functional gurus" coming out. Naudi Aguilar is another nutjob preaching bullshit.
my favorite youtoob celery, zack telomere

Wow. You weren't exaggerating that much with dr seedman. Saw his Twitter and boy were you accurate.
He's still going. Doing circus acts lol
"If you're squatting below parallel, you're just wrong".
Lmfaooo the intro skit is perfect
Zack really has some acting skills!
ironic he’s now an actor in The Weight
I died at “my first name is doctor”
As a college basketball and football player the power snatch, power clean, with atg squats and deadlifts were essential to my growth as an athlete I believe. As my lifts grew in these I performed better
I wasn't interested in weightlifting style exercises but this video makes me wanna test it
DO IT!
NO regrets
@@afb9176 yeah I'm definitely gonna try it
Be patient with yourself. Flexibility for the full movements is imperative. Find a coach. It really does make the difference.
It's hard. That's why most people quit and even the people who keep it up they don't do it right without a good coach.
Hey Alan, great collab! I definitely recommend you and Juji collab; it would be amazing.
Matthew Cuevas amen
And having them all teach me how to train!
I think juji and tom just quit yt
@@l.p.7585 no they have just taken a break.

And im just here, laughing my arse off and hopin for the 'behind the scenes' compilation how they come up with these skits
Love a coach who has humor and is also extremely well-versed at teaching movements. A+ content
I want to see the bloopers from the beginning of the video because there is no way "functional training center" didnt make you guys laugh. Also, the way you were able to take instruction and apply it, even after being as strong as you are and having experience with the snatch is incredible. Also the Kennedy callout lololo I love it
Finally someone adressin this stuff with joelseed, sayin that kind of things get ppl injured and scared
That opening bit was absolutely hilarious, every second of it.
I found this video so helpful when I was getting started, Zack taught me a lot! And I continue to learn a lot from his channel
12:20 such a delightful sound!
Such a good explanation. You can easily go back and forth with this video to master the movement. Train-on-time. Hehe
Train untamed*
This was a great tutorial Zack. You two working together=great content. Loved the intro too!
love zach! great dude whose able to explain complex movements in simple language.
this video is so perfect it almost hurts
Loved the skit and collaboration between you guys. 🙌
One of the few channels I’ll sit through ads for 🤘
Thanks to both of you, I was afraid to try power snatch because it looked so hard so I did only power C+J but now when I tried these drills I found out its actually not that hard!
I love the intro time after time and still think you both are great actors

I personally think it would be a lot more beneficial to see someone like Zach teaching a more beginner/intermediate lifter rather than yourself, as you're noticeably more experienced and are able to get into positions much easier.
Please get back into weightlifting! Also the intro was hilarious. Functional patterns dogma is so irritating.
Love this series, awesome colab! Jujimufu next?
You literally crushed that esoteric natural dancing crosffit guru 😂
I learned to clean wrong and to snatch right. I've gotten along with the power and squat snatch a lot more than any clean I've done. I don't enjoy the clean, but I'm falling in love with the snatch
These two are a match made in heaven for being strong, informative and funny af
the two best actors in the strength/fitness youtube
One of the best vids I've watched on snatching 👏🏽👏🏽👑
Great collab, loved it! Two super knowledgeable dudes and both funny AF.
i can't believe instagram took down the skit LMAOOOOO
joel is big mad
Wow my two favourite together alan and zack

That squat demonstration was gold man!!
3:40
"These numbers keep changing, like, everytime you mention these articles..." LOL!
Being so coachable is a mark of a true master. Always a student of their craft. Would love to train with these guys. It'd be worth the trip to Sac. lol
Great collab, two of my favorite guys.
Yes, I will train on time, coach!
you killed it Alan !!!! Zach, great teacher
"I'm doctor zack"
"Dr. of what?"
"Oh no, my first name is doctor."
Fucking ded
This is one of my favorite videos ever. Thank you.
Two of my faves working together
A Colab between my two favourite weight training channels, yayy!
God damn zack is top tier fitness content memelord
Great content, please can you get a clean progression video together. Awsome work
One of the best instructional videos out there. Wow
Awesome episode on so many levels!
This is actually super helpful, thank you! Great collab!
Wow shoulda called this video the Power Snatch Master class with Weightlifting Guru!

Really loved it. One of my all time favourite video. It’s so informative and entertaining! 💪🙏👍😃
I like the transition in the beginning
That was a four and half minute long skit to start the video and it was actually good
It's 2019 and I can't believe people are still using current year as an argument
17:26 Familiar buzzsaw sounds... Great video, really like Zack's coaching

I really wanted that video on incorporating assistance movements though :(
I could really use it.
Thank you for this video! This step by step explanation was awesome. Greetings from Greece
Love the Sabaton poster in the background!

Some great drills in this video. Thanks.

I actually love this movement, due to my right ankle restrictions this is how I have been doing this movement for a while!
The fuckin' seedman callout I'm dying.
That’s some really good acting at the beginning 😂😂
Oh yeah! This is the collab I wouldn't even dare dream about!
You gotta do a 1-ton challenge though, Alan.
They make it look SO easy!!
Thanks for this tutorial
LoL I am completely stealing this "movement laboratory" thing and spreading it throughout every gym.
Great tutorial - I'm moving towards more power based moves in program so perfect timing! Love the collab intros XD
lmfao the intro was one of the funniest things ive seen in a while
👌 can't believe I haven't seen this yet. Big fan
I know im late to this but Zack is the funniest guy on youtube
_Where you at, Clarence Kennedy_
Wow this was real helpful thank you
OMG! What is happening at 4:30? :D The shade never ceases to amuse me! Always gets me laughing and pumped for my training session!
This was great. I learned a lot and I might start doing this rather than deadlifts for a few cycles.
great fun in the beginning
Just did my first power snatch. Thx duder.
