I remember Kelly talking about this in the past, and if I remember right, it was supposed that it helps to push off the big toe with the feet and therefore involve the glutes better (not sure what the actual mechanism is, but that's what I remember).
Me personally - I use it when I jump off two feet without the ball in hand. I feel like I can gather more energy this way, like it gives me better rhythm etc, hard to really explain.

Why don't you give Joel Smith's program a try. I did it in the past and was jumping ~36-38 off one leg then.

That's just retarded. And then they probably come in and complain that "strength training causes injuries and long term damage".

Can you drop the bar in the gym you're training in? (when you clean etc)
I can't so when I "drop down" my bar to my thigs from the catch position it really loads the spine and the back... kinda sucks

« on: June 19, 2012, 06:03:24 pm »
Cool. Because in the powerclean I got from struggling to hang powerclean 70 kg to consistently hang powercleaning 80 kg, while the hang powersnatch stayed at ~45 consistently.

« on: June 19, 2012, 05:41:24 pm »In the powersnatches, though, it could be a matter of technique that's limiting you and not strength. For me personally, having weak shoulders, I'm afraid of using heavier weights (heavier than my max of 50 kg) since I have a BIG problem stabilizing the bar overhead and even keeping it there!
If technique is bad but consistent, the rule still applies. If you have a sufficient ESD you should be able to PR your powersnatch every week.
What if you're limited by upperbody strength like I am? I could probably powersnatch more than I currently am if I wasn't afraid of not being able to hold the bar over my head/stabilize it/stop it there etc.
And why powersnatch and not say powerclean?
