I got taught the snatch about 4 weeks ago. Went from 40 Kilos (#88) to 90 kilos (#198).

Granted, the guy who taught me is a strength coach and olympic athlete himself (snatches #320) - he's been doing this for 4 years and feels he is only now getting the groove of the excercise.

These lifts involve some degree of athletecism as opposed to straight bodybuilding excercises.


But what the hell - give it a try and have some fun.

Nice post.

Quite a few years, yes. The standard for achieving the PASM (process of attaining sports mastery) is seven years, on average.

The basics, however, can be learned quite readily. It just takes quite a while to develop both the strength as well as the skill to achieve somewhere near your potential.

The Chad Ikei vids are better - he tells you what to do and what not to do. I learned the lifts from his vids

He shows most of the hybrid variations
