How are the snatches on your shoulders Spatts?

 

[spatts]

I used hang snatches to build my rear delts in rehab. Been doing them about a year now, and wanted to start moving away from "rehabbing" and more toward "strengthening." The hand snatches played a primary part in rehabbing my rotator cuffs and giving me more rear delt to set the bar on when I squat. I have a long torso, so being able to carry the bar lower is great.

I thought those were called clean and jerks . Cause that is how I do mine. From the ground though. I do a full power clean then bend low and explode up into a push press

what are the points of the excercises spatts and ccj mentioned... developing the anerobic threshold?

 

[spatts]

I do them to increse strength and speed in my upperback/rear delt/rotator cuff.

CCJ does it because he's crazy like that.

Oly complexes are damn brilliant.

The most horrible is definately a Power Clean/Front Squat/Push Press/Squat/Push Press complex.

Don't forget about the Snatch/Overhead Suat/Russian Good Mornig/Behind the neck pus press/Front Squat complex either.

 

[spatts]

I think I would need a half-caf double decaf in a half carafe to pull that off.

 

[Scotsman]

Beneficial exercises but takes a little insanity to pull them off also

In the first complex do you do 5 reps of Hang-Pulls then 5 reps of Hang-Pulls and so on or do you do 1 rep of each lift for 5 reps which would be one set? Just not sure of his instructions for completing the complex?

Thanks
