Fixing Early Second Pull - Q&A with Greg Everett

[@howtosnatch]

Thank you. This video was helpful for me and the other 17,541,689 Americans with this problem.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question Greg. I recently noticed, that halting and segment pulls with long pauses, indeed do work really well for me. Oh, and I’ll definitely make sure to take care of my premature explosion. Better safe than sorry.

1- Snatch deadlift with a pause on knees 2- make a complex of a) Snatch pause pull OR Snatch Deadlift with Pause + Full Snatch 3) Slow pull Snatch (taking 5 seconds from the floor to hip)

"premature explosion is a serious problem bud"

I have learnt a lot from this video. I am exploding too early also and struggling to correct this. I’ll give these drills a shot and see how I get on. Thanks Greg!

Woah great insight! I will try some of these techniques. I know what to do I just never do it when performing the lift.

Great video Greg, I have really taken a lot from it. Thumbs up :)

Tried to send this through the q&a but cant seem to access the page so here goes. In relation to the previous q&a of not drastically sweeping the bar in with the lats. How would you cue/remedy a lifter who doesnt bring the bar towards his hips once past the knee at around mid to upper thigh yet still stays patient in terms of keepig the shoulders on top of the bar? In other words, assuming shoulders cover the bar till mid to upper thigh, how do you bring the bar to the hip/keep kt close without pushing it back in with the lats?

Great video, as allways 🙌🏼😊 But would you recommend doing the pause deadlifts at above 100 % of your clean/snatch max? I.e 5 sets of 3 or 5 for maximum effort, as long as you're holding a good posture.

As you said, weight MUST be limited to what can be done correctly, or it's not only not helpful, it's counterproductive. That said, yes, the heavier you can do them correctly, the more effective.

[@ronakvora7874]

When you’re over the bar, what’s supposed to be doing the work primarily? Hamstrings and low back + lats to keep it close?

[@muellernikolai8630]

My coach wants me to explode with all my power as soon as I pass the knee. This feels wrong, and you are saying that I should initiate the explosion once the bar is closer to the hips, right? so like, constant speed from floor to mid-thig-hip-ish, and then explode?

[@CatalystAthletics]

Closer to mid-thigh generally but depends somewhat on your proportions. See these - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGHGqZqHbdqiqbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3_PloSIqsSbrLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/omKXiXd3jNmhatE
