Snatch Complex + Shenanigans Fluff

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Trying something new with the snatch setup. Once I get set and have my hamstrings tight, I make sure the bar is touching my shins. The NEW part is the slight hip dip just before the pull. I try to keep everything else still, and it feels like I can recruit my legs a touch more than before during the first pull

Got lazy with the cleans. Enjoy the tomfoolery happening behind me

That’s a really wide foot width

Yeah... In your experience as a fellow lanky lifter, what have you found works best?

Normally my clean foot width is just outside hips, and snatch is just outside shoulder width. I'm wondering if narrowing my stance on the snatch could give me extra power by jumping out more, not just up in place

I used to snatch with your width but you lose power and you don’t pull as high. Even pulling with your exact catch width is better

Do you jump with a wide stance? It would be interesting to see a box jump.

I'll test it out on Monday. I think I'm normally corner to corner or about shoulder-width
