I tried the Jump Snatch/Clean Pull today.
I think this is a awesome move for improving vertical jump and the standing long jump and plain power. Use a load that allows your feet to leave the ground. Since its simple and not as skilled based as the Power Clean and Snatch, its much better for developing power. You can use more weight too.
Just remeber to thrust with your legs and hips, don't pull with your upper body, and rember to point your toes to explode the calves as you lift off.
Its kind a like a jumping deadlift. Has gotta help a power lifter for sure!
Another good move is the Jump shrug with a dive start. Basicly
you set the power rack bars so that when barbell is sitting on them, it's at knee height - when you have your knees bent to the exact same height as the bottom of your vertical jump.
Then just leave the bar there and stand up. On a count of 3 you drop down like your vertical jumping, grab the bar and jump up so your feet leave the ground, shrugging the shoulders at the top of the jump. Drop the bar down again and repeat.
Power cleans feel so pussy compared to these lifts
Olympic lift hybrids are so much fun!!!!!!!!
I feel like a mean explosive power athlete MOFO doing these
Nothing will grab stares in gym like these moves
Your fast twitch IIB fibres will GROW!
Just do sets of 5.
But damn I need some lifting gloves - tore up my hands throwing these Olympics bars around!
