It takes 5 minutes to explain the lift, and a lifetime to actually practice proper technique

You can't see it here, but it's kinda amazing that he is 157cm tall

snatches are so hard for me mentally! it feels so scary to get the bar over my head. this is really helpful, especially the bit about taking your time in the set up.

[planethable]

Weightlifting is one of my favorite sports, and your advices were simple, but most essential!
And thanks to remind me that 'Worth of Practice' !

Another important point is to reach full extension in hips, knees, ankles commonly known as to triple extension to achieve full power

[GuitarsAndSynths]

such a great tough workout like a combo deadlift, pull, press and squat in one exercise!

राह संघर्ष की जो चलता है; वो ही संसार को बदलता है,
जिसने रातों से जंग जीती, सूर्य बनकर वहीं निकलता है।

[Neelharibaraut]

Thanks I am from India it is a very amazing and helpful video for me

[MarkoAssi_pokervlogger]

The snatch is one of the most technical lifts in olympic weightlifting. The other most technical lift is the clean and jerk.

[thebomb]

I'll definitely practice these techniques great video aswell.👍

Nice weighlifting from Olympic Channel.

[musicsdarkangel]

I have positive associations with the word “snatch”, especially when it comes to the hip thrust, so I think I’ll really love the lift as well. That said, I think that I’ll feel unusually experienced with the clean and jerk, when I get around to that.

[craigr.h.laurent]

Thorough explanation! I did not like the "music" in the background - it wasn't needed especially when Cummings was talking.

[diramotichannel]

This is something i never do in a gym, but i always wanted to do this kinda movement..

[danroach]

Laurel Hubbard has been looking for a real snatch for years

[koralrfer]
