Before and After Snatches


Looking through the old vids on my facebook page.  Pretty big improvement in my snatch technique.  In this first vid (you can see it even without a facebook page) I am basically taking my life in my own hands because this 24 kg bell is way too heavy for me.  Clearly I didn't know what it meant to load my hips or do anything else properly.  And that corkscrew dropdown I will save if I ever get into GS.

Here's a few snatches with the same bell after 4 weeks of concentrating on 1-arm swings and getups.  I do no snatch practice at all but by following the Program Minimum my snatch technique keeps getting better.  The bell is still big for me but at least its manageable.  This vid is from a month ago.  I've been on the same program and will post a new snatch vid when I have a moment.
