Please never stop doing these! Beat that horse into oblivion. I have an weird issue as a beginner, my left hand was broken recently and I feel it way more powerful than my right one. In some cases, I cannot lock out my right elbow and it's causing some pain. But, I'm new at this.
Fixing my imbalances in my body from side to side with stretching and strengthdning made it so that I could handle the wrist positioning better in my left side because I could more internally rotate my shoulder. Now I have a better conectionto were the centerline of my body is.
I have never seen this detail before but at any overhead position, i used to hiperextend my wrists. Thought it was ideal to lock the elbows. Gathering this with a twist that i suffered before, i severely injured my left wrist, whith causes pain at the radial bending. I wish i had known the importance of wrist position before...
well.. if "tightening your upper back" doesn't work, another cue is unlikely to either. Lie prone on the floor with arms at your sides and try to lift your shoulders as high as possible while keeping your stomach against the floor - that's a tight upper back.
Warning ⚠️ TMI.... How do I keep the bar from hitting my king and his jewels? Whenever I drag the bar up, it hits/ pinches my McRib and Nuggets... it's been very frustrating and kinda has deterred me from lifting heavier. Sorry if I was too graphic but I'm seriously in need of help dude. 😅
Wear underwear that actually fits, stay over the bar long enough, and don't drag the bar up your legs... shouldn't actually be contacting you quite that low.
You need to wear something that keeps everything in place. If it's cotton, when it gets wet it won't be as tight. You need to wear compression underwear. I bought 12 pairs from Under Armour 7 years ago, and they're still in perfect condition.
Coach Greg, can you do a video or do you have stories of a recreational lifter only training snatch (no clean and jerk). How much it is possible to snatch just doing snatch training as compared to doing snatch and clean and jerk?
Not aware of anyone doing it and I don't know why you'd want to, but no reason you shouldn't be able to progress in the snatch as well if not better than with CJ if the rest of the program is sensible.
What would be the problem if my big thumb feels like about to rip off when I do overhead , I’m a beginner and I just started last week with naked bar only for the snatch . I wonder what’s the problem to be so painful to do that on my thumb and wrists . Would you be able to break down few cause possibilities?

See those wrist strength and mobility videos I linked - should help.
@@CatalystAthletics THanks man !
Greg is a true gift and a goldmine for weightlifters.

I'm very new to snatch and jerk. I really appreciate your content!
Thank you Coach Greg. I'll be taking these tips to the weight room this morning! 👍
It’s Really weird I got an ad for Cal Strength on your video 😂
Thank you for the in depth video!
You’re a master! I’ve learned to much from you!
excellent thankyou!
Awesome sauce
Greg, what's a good cue for tightening the upper back when pulling off the floor???
well.. if "tightening your upper back" doesn't work, another cue is unlikely to either. Lie prone on the floor with arms at your sides and try to lift your shoulders as high as possible while keeping your stomach against the floor - that's a tight upper back.
Finally 🙌
How do you feel about using belt squats for quad hypertrophy 1-2 times a week after back/front squats?
If you want.... I think you're a lot better off doing unilateral work instead so you actually get more benefit than just hypertrophy.

Great video very informative 💪🏾💯

This is very useful

I assume you're using the hook grip still overhead, so try releasing it.
