I am 6 months into weightlifting and the progress i have made whilst being self taught is solely because of zack. Thank you for such informative content. I even got introduced to clarence, sika strength and gabriel because of him. I lift at a commercial gym and ppl ask me if i have been coached, and i j show them this youtube channel.

Not very relevant, but after stalling on a 60 kg snatch max for 3 years, I hit 67.5 kg today. Thanks for all the entertainment, especially lift companion! Love the honest talk-segments and the all the animals

I used to be a weightlifter for more than 20 years. In 2001 wwc I won a silver medal in snatch 205kg and in total 445kg in category +105. Recently I came across your channel and was surprised. Your explanations of snatch are so professional. Despite of my experience I found out so many extremely useful things and I want to thank you. I hope you understood me because I'm Russian and not sure in my English at all.

I think one thing that needs to be mentioned in the "contact drill" is to NOT push your hips forward into the bar (hump the bar). Many new lifters think that "making contact" means just getting your body in contact with the bar any way possible, which leads to bad habits and poor form... The contact needs to be made the way you showed, after full extension and from the bar being brought into your body from the process of extending, not from pushing hips forward to meet the bar.

The hype on the next upcoming videos is real! Appreciate the production quality! I do miss you coaching a beginner while teaching the lifts tho

[jacksonr]

A well performed snatch is pure poetry in motion. The type of thing Michelangelo or Da Vinci would have marveled at, the perfect use of the body and physics.

[BattleBeast-MarvelSnap]

I greatly appreciate your content and especially the ones like this where you go into depth on technique. I’m not a competitor or anything, but I’ve gone back and forth from powerlifting to weightlifting multiple times and your videos greatly help me with my technique. For someone who’s never trained for competition or anything in weightlifting I feel like my form is actually fairly good because of these types of videos. The way you progress to a full snatch is so different then most videos I see and it’s definitely a very optimal approach

[JB-luie]

This is just what I’ve been hoping for from you! Never knew about the wrist/false grip thing, elbow whip so helpful. I have had an issue with swinging my arms out. Thank you for this whole series🎉

[GZA]

Always loved Torokhtiy's contact drill, it really puts it together

[mario]

I love this series. Still 2 weeks of program, than 6-8 weeks of cut. Than (or even during the minicut) I'm probably going to start learning olylifts. Thanks Zack!

[oufail]

Learning a lot in this video even though I have been lifting for 6 years. Thanks for the great quality as always!

[crasnicul]

I can do overhead squats, muscle and power snatches no problem, but I really struggle with sots presses and snatch presses.

[charlottegarvey]

Hey Zack, just wanted to tell you how thankful I am for this video. I can snatch 65kg but then it's like I'm blocked, I can power snatch 67.5kg so I know something isn't right. So I've gone back to basics and used your techniques. I've been drilling them over and over again. I've just worked upto 60kg repeats with much better technique. Thank you 💪

[donkeykong]

zack is doing gods work. thank you big guy

[federicocarnebale]

Im 6ft and the snatch is also my favourite. I think that if you are long the c&j will be your enemy 😂

[rebeccalindner]

I've definitely been pronouncing Torokhity like Tour-o-kitty

[jakubolszewski]

13:49 Don't brake the glass floor! Hahahahae.

[ComradeCoolio]

My only regret is that I have but one like to give.

[coachgeorgemenelaou]

The Torokhtyi Drill or Hip Contact is an Eastern Bloc drill. Dmitry Klokov taught it to me in 2013 and it’s a drill they use often because people don’t make proper contact with the bar
