just got PM'd Member 1945, 685 posts | garrold said:They look quite nice, to my untrained eye. You bored of powerlifting already pal? Not necessarily, but it isn't easy to get s spot to squat heavy. I have wanted to do some olympic lifting for a bit and figure that... 1. If i get better at clean and jerk and snatch it'll help all my lifts. 2. This is the best time of year to try. So basically I'm doing some to see how much I enjoy it and to learn it well | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | OwenL said: same. My coach has never had me hang snatch (and im a beginner) nor do any of the more experienced lifters. But each to their own, learning lifts works different for everyone i guess. Eddie HATES hang lifts!! Tell him you want to do some and see what response you get!  I kind of agree with Gingy in that learning from the hang ensures you have to use your hips, plus it leaves less room for error as a lot can go wrong from floor to 2nd pull position Sam, do as Chris Glover suggests. Anyone can snatch 40kg when they have a 250kg deadlift. Video something which is around 80-90% of your max and it'll give a much better impression of where things are going wrong. Personally, I don't think improving your snatch and C&J will do diddly squat for your squat (or deadlift). It would probably hold true the other way round though. | ||

Eventually. | ||
