L. O. G. (Lifting for Overhead Greatness)

[TomoUK]

ive had the same prob with the head throwing, if your not already doing this try picking a point on the wall and focusing on it through the whole lift, including the start where your looking down too much (thats why you dont have the arch i think).

can't access the last 2 vids yet. Still looks like a Power Snatch + Overhad Squat, but getting better for sure. On your jump you are moving backwards, I try to keep my feet in the same spot.

It's a hard lift for sure. Mine still looks like a power snatch + overhead squat....

yeah I see it too. the lift is hard I am still a big time noob lol. I guess the weight is too low to do a real squat snatch simply b/cwe are strong enough to snatch it high enough and dont need to catch it in the hole lol.


dont know why the 2 vids arent accessable. maybe they will be later...

I am n00b as well - and the lift is very hard. I do tons of full snatches w/ a broom stick - almost every day - and it is helping. Your flexibility looks good - doesn't seemt o be hindering your overhead squats (I still have to try to pull the bar apart to feel half way decent in the hole w/ overheads

The power snatch is OK, but you could go deeper and make it a little bit more like the full snatch - you are sometimes in danger of completing 'muscle' snatches instead of power snatches. This is evidenced by the circular motion of the bar around you at the top of the lift instaead of the bar being pulled straight up and your body coming under the bar.

okay

The fatct that the strength aspect of squats is primary to light weights used in learning the motor fuction required for the olyumpic lifts makes it even more important to do the oly stuff fiirst. Just take a slightly longer rest between, the oly stuff will warm you up and actually prime you for the heavy squatting - at least I find so.

I understand where you coming from but I trust my coaches and wont change
the program for now. It is supposed to be a 4week program so I will see
what's coming next.

I watched the C&J... Try taping your fingers together so they don't come off the bar. Other than that looked good.

seems like my own tips dont work for me quite too well. anyway I am working on the little readjustment bump and dip after you get back from the hole. right now I am able to regain my full grip on one hand but I am too slow for both. I might just add an extra day just doing these...
