How To Snatch with Kristin Pope

[@UniversalUSA77]

If you haven't seen it already be sure to check out our video with Kristin Pope on the Clean & Jerk here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKere2WBes96rck

[@rayvense7en]

Would love to see Pope breakdown more compound movements for beginners. Alot of "beginner videos" neglect the finer points, usually it becomes move bar/weight from A to B without explaining the finer movements and why you need them. Thanks for the vid!

[@DipeshGupta-rz9by]

thanks for mentioning the rebending the knees!! Kristin pope tutorials are gems !!

[@RandyGraeme]

Best and most complete explinations I've seen yet! Even explained the tape. 😊

[@getdusty1]

Excellent video, Kristin!! It works well on you young puppies who have excellent mobility, but for us old guys (I'm almost 67 and got into O-lifting in January this year ... NEVER lifted before in my life), our knees don't work quite like they used to, so when I get this sore knee better, I'm going to lift both lifts with the split squat. It's legal. At the Canadians at the end of April, I used it and won gold in my age group and weight class. Excellent video though. Thumbs up. Your form is flawless!!!

[@getdusty1]

Thanks Kristin!! The snatch is SOOOO very complex, but you've explained it so well. I'm 66, never lifted before, but always wanted to. I play hockey in goal four times a week, but I do not have the shoulder flexibility that I should. I cannot get my shoulders back ANYWHERE NEAR like all you young puppies!! I'm working on it to the point that I don't need the "straps" to hold on to when I do squats. Watched the video with Max Aita as well. I'm on my way to the gym and I'll try to incorporate the "hip touch" as well. I tried it here at home with a six foot long stick and really went well. That's going to really help!! I'm hoping to go to the Canadian Masters in April here in Ontario.

She did an excellent job of explaining this. Wish more videos out there were even remotely close in quality to her explanation. Nice job and best wishes to her.

[@KL-wx7sy]

Excellent video . This lady is a fantastic coach/teacher

[@nickolesparx258]

Kris, great instructional video, please make more for those of us who are trying to learn proper mechanics without the help of a coach.

[@Seegie16]

Nice snatch!

[@josefwang]

she is great! clear, structured, and perfect demonstration step by step

[@MsAwesomedom]

Definitely would love a series or mini series going more in depth on how to snatch as well as something on mobility!

[@yooree9443]

Kristen is the best at explaining these moves! So easy to understand and follow

[@darcyturnbo4724]

Great presentation and explanation of this fun and interesting lift. Thanks!

[@JM-fx9gd]

Thanks for this great breakdown of the snatch.

[@marcus11619]

I’m new to fitness and weightlifting and I have been looking for what a clean, jerk, and snatch all are and you by far explained it the best. There are so many videos on this but the info is either too much or not enough with lots of implying of general knowledge on the subject. Both this and the clean and jerk video were very easy to understand!

[@christinestearns7413]

This was the best tutorial have ever seen on doing any kind of snatch movement. The slow motion demo was very helpful.

[@josephgerichs6891]

Love Pope she's awesome! Great tutorial. I suck at the snatch and need to work on it.

[@tonyallen3138]

Likewise, i like her recommendation of how to perform the power snatch, then transition into an overhead squat.

[@BxCortez2050]

Your vids are awesome i do crossfit ..but watching your vids i began to put more effort into proper lift technique ..thanx for being here

[@RenataRath1983]

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

[@ewtam24]

Thank you for the great instruction!

[@dinorock4128]

Great tutorial. Very clearly explained and broken down. Thanks for posting

[@JasonBYU23]

Great breakdown of how to do the snatch. Looking forward to more videos.

[@UniversalUSA77]

We also have a video with Kristin Pope on the Clean & Jerk here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKere2WBes96rck

[@zirzmokealot4600]

[@saida022]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much ,we need more video

[@darkangel7r]

Well explained by the pro!! Great video :)

[@adabels3079]

Yes more beginner videos. Maybe a video on mobility would be helpful. Thanks!

[@actionken]

Great tutorial - god explaination, only thing missing was some slow motion as tre movements are very fast

[@barbwiles123]

So helpful! Please do more like this! 😀

[@markd7762]

Great explanation! Haven't done these since high school

[@roolentless2166]

Shooting and editing this video was great. I got to learn a lot about how Pope is able to do what she does. Love working with her, awesome person!

[@kazmala1764]

This is great, thanks for that Kristin, very helpful.

[@mrhmd8308]

Great video. I just subscribed. Do you have a video explaining the benefits of doing a Anderson/ Pin squat and the Hindu/Baithak body weight squat?

[@robinsullens9585]

Great info and how-to on the snatch!

[@4pawreiki]

This is great, thank you. Also you answered my question if it is better to get the overhead squat down first :)

[@gowrestle160]

sweet video. More tutorials for the complex lifts like this please

[@jeffkennedy6932]

great video, and i, like some of your other viewers, would like to learn more about the rebend. I have actually been taught not to rebend or scoop the bar. can you include another tutorial video on how to incorporate the double knee bend technique into the snatch lift.

[@bigwood5559]

Very good video

[@chrisrobson2203]

Kristin Pope is an awesome lifter!

[@MrTan1964]

Thanks so much for Great tutorial.

[@TheAnovotny]

Great video. I didn’t know that you do a rebend after the bar goes up your legs. I’m going to try that and see if it helps my snatch. I would love to see more videos like this for the c&j and snatch. I feel like a lot of the videos skip over the movement in between for two lifters and show us how it should look and so we learn wrong. I just learned I shouldn’t be throwing my hips up into the bar!

[@hookey1000]

Disclaimer I am still very new to weightlifting, but neither I heard anyone extend fully and re-bend the knee, nor any person I saw in person or online who knew what they were doing fully extends and resends. Including in this video with Pope. She obviously stays bent all the way up until the top of the power position. I don't see 2 fully extended position in her snatches whatsoever.

[@joe1719]

hookey1000 that was taught in a way to get the viewer to have the “intent” of keeping the legs straight until the bar reaches the power position, when in reality execution won’t be quite as straight-legged. Re the knee re-bending. That is a naturally occurring movement that happens automatically while transitioning from the first pull to the second pull. That’s not something that needs to be taught, or have any conscious effort made into re-bending the knees. It is simply a result from executing a proper second pull.

[@davidenvall3685]

Now she’s a frikkin bodybuilder💪🏼💪🏼☺️

[@duc696monster6]

Gonna try that again today.. Didnt really work as well as i wanted last time.. On another note, it does make me laugh : to dive deeper into the snatch.. 😂😂

[@tracyzfit389]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@Thisistheway168]

Great video , thank you :)

[@alistarovereem6204]

Thanks for the video! Good teacher

[@beantownsox81]

[@joalalamelu4277]

[@dukuhunter]

Good tips

[@juliamcbeth7238]

Thank you!!! Now I know better for next time.

[@soldjer21]

Great vid, hardest part for me is getting under the bar.

[@cesaradrianzen2673]

Amazing video. Thank you for the information!.

[@saxophonetina]

thank you for this!

[@thechosenone93]

Straight leg deadlift->stand up straight->jump down-->catch bar--> squat

[@enricogiannelli7111]

Hello, i can't keep the barbell behind my head when i squat, my outstretched arms go forward ... how can i prevent this from happening?

[@sderbykilfoyle]

smooth as butter. muy fácil.

[@klevdavful]

Good job

[@vanillaghetto]

I'm a little confused by the "straight leg deadlift" and then re-bend knee part. I've been oly lifting for a with coaches for a decade, and watched a lot of videos, and have never heard that before! Also, would have liked to have seen a slo-mo, especially of that part!

[@soniaynclan9079]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@oskarthepyrenees5277]

Hi Kristin, any advice on how tight or close to have your weights secured onto the bar? It looks as if in your video, that you don't even use spring clips.

[@zeedevil4409]

Great breakdown on the lift. Always love anything she does

[@GoldKingsMan]

Doing this one today.

[@TanglesunTamed]

Great work! Thank you for the information. Which exercises can I do to improve my squat? I cannot get very low and am reduced to sitting on a bench but that isn’t helping me improve.

[@dr.richardmatthews9494]

Great video! I'd love more advice on getting upper body more vertical, as I tend to still be forward too much in the thoracic spine, which puts my shoulders in too much extension. Any exercises to build front-to-back stability for those of us that lean forward too much? Thanks!!

[@prashantbhate5676]

For leg muscle strength which exercises want to do...

[@hellsing48]

What should you start learning first, snatch or clean and jerk?

[@thechosenone93]

Snatch because clean and jerk is easier and so you could get complacent learning the former

[@KeithGreenshields]

I find sitting on a bench then standing with the bar overhead the best method for me. Sitting down to the box freaks me out.

[@ahmedgabr9957]

So good

[@mikejr716]

Thank you, Kris Pope!!! Explained very well. 🙂

[@eloymn5739]

Her technique is perfect. I'm working on the snatch and this video has been very helpful.

[@forza74456]

grazie from Italy

[@soniaynclan9079]

It's so difficult to me and she makes it seem so easy. But every time I try it just seems like an impossible movement lol. I'll keep trying.

[@charliemayers4145]

Sonia Ynclan took me months to fully execute it. Keep trying

[@johnschaeffer6867]

Great job. Cant wait to see more.

[@richardvega2784]

Thank you!

[@mrhmd8308]

It seems like your right arm is longer than your left as you were doing the snatch. Is there some tightness in your scapular-thoracic region?

[@dutchwestbrook1146]

Oh yeah !

[@mohamedabdelrahman6916]

thanks

[@theredninja2817]

I love everything about her

[@lauragonzalez1199]

So helpful THANKS...

[@luisgerardobastardo2947]

How can I improve my back position in Snatch position?

[@amjadalru2710]

Your my GOAL 😍

[@byriachannel5582]

Nice Thank you

[@stephenbethell7548]

Great ❤

[@getdusty1]

I like Kristin's turorials ... I really do, but she should also say that for gentlemen who have gotten into weightlifting later in life and have ZERO flexibility, they can also do the split instead of doing the squat. I just turned 69 years old and have been lifting for less than three years.

[@LudwigSauerteig]

Even like it more with slow motion .
