Squat Snatch
-
Does anyone do this on a regular basis?I know we do lots of cleans and squat cleans etc.This is a super technical movement and I love it.
-
It's not part of the general programming due to the complex natural of the movement. We found too many people struggling with shoulder mobility/stability and thoracic extension requirements. So, we break it down to component movements - snatch balance, power snatch, OHS etc. Sometimes it will pop into the program and we will scale for those who don't have it yet.When we have dedicated O lift classes, it will feature extensively.It's a move you can practice in open gym if you feel you need it.PS I love it too.
-
Ahhh ok got it. Makes total sense after seeing some of the Squat Snatches out there.Ok cool, will give it a go in open on a Saturday.Do you think it would ever be thrown in a comp somewhere or would they more so go for OHS and Squat clean etc?
-
Yeah, you'll see it in comps.You'll also see most competitors have horrendous form.
-
Yep, seen that with the OHS too.
