I think Rip is a majestic creature.

[@tedp9945]

Just came on here to see all the comments about Brees snatch and rack

[@Ozee.Aaron1234]

Excellent teaching! The positions you put her in enabled excellent leverage with her hip and torso position and an optimal bar bar path from start to finish! Nice to see logical biomechanics!

[@adatorres5453]

Oh my!!!! is absolutely great. This page should add subtitles of other language’s to the videos. He would triple the amount of views. Love it.

[@Cloud-Radio]

His presence kills weakness ❤

[@mitfitjn7]

When Rip speaks, there is so much to learn. Thank u for sharing

[@TrussttN01]

I’m always trying to rack a snatch.

[@jimr880]

I don't think I've ever done this exercise (it doesn't look easy) but I plan to give it try next week...with very light weight, of course. Cheers!

[@iJorgePaz]

better get a coach, it's not easy, it's not enough to watch u tube videos, takes a long time to learn the technique

[@knowledge771]

I'm in the early stages of learning it myself. The advice here about avoiding a vertical back and dropping low at the flick of the wrist is stuff I have to correct the next time out. Been making some UGLY catches.

[@sunnygirl9691]

Sometimes a very light weight will make the momentum/bar path more difficult. Go light, but not TOO light.

[@joethesheep4675]

@@iJorgePaz the first guys doing the exercise didnt even have videos to watch. You can learn anything watching a vid. Can you do it as fast and as safe as having a coach help you? No. But we dont know Jims goals so we cannot say if fast is even required and you can do everything pretty safe when you just go slowly.

[@keenanschouten2582]

If science teachers were as good at teaching as Rip, then I'd be Einstein.

[@tsgosser]

He's a good communicator of information

[@johnbr59]

Mark is a cult leader

[@Ozee.Aaron1234]

👍

[@gsquared2394]

Bri always looks soo pissed off

[@AnthonyBolognese710]

in the drop, you're using the concentric rebound from the triple extension to launch yourself downwards into a squat catch faster than gravity can

[@MikeXCSkier]

Concentric rebound? No. You use your arms to pull against the bar and pull yourself down and under the bar faster than the acceleration of gravity.

[@jakeizlove]

Thanks!

[@davidjennings127]

Shoulder ,elbow and wrist movement, got it😀

[@BryonLape]

Is this the same Bre behind the camera on the podcast videos?

[@Jordan-hz1wr]

The one and only

[@joshgreen1562]

Hi Rip, my favorite part was at 8:12 when you left and the disembodied abdomen of a fat man taught this lady how to snatch. Is this talking belly an SSC and how do I contact it if so? I liked it's encouraging coaching style and it had a similar voice to yours. Thanks!

[@Cam-gn6uk]

😂😂😂

[@trumpdonald6386]

Im to viet nam , good !!!

[@trumpdonald6386]

Good

[@khmak9387]

How do we train the overhead shoulder mobility for the snatch?

[@michaeldyer1396]

Do snatch presses and over head squats.Also use a broom or something similar take a snatch grip put in overhead position and stretch so you are moving arms and broom backwards. I am sure there’s you tube videos on it if this is not clear enough

[@joemartin9874]

The bar gets caught on my gut

[@chrisgomez215]

I’m trying to figure out at what point he broke Bre’s arm

[@g10ronaldinho]

One thing I’d like Rip to explain in further detail is why do the power snatch instead of the power clean

[@getstrongby4038]

Requires more power as you have to move the bar higher/faster

[@pretty_flaco]

because the front rack position is hard for most… also the power snatch is a more powerful, athletic movement

[@mackenziebenedict8403]

some people with longer forearms can’t get their arms into the proper position at the end of the movement regardless of their hand placement on the bar, so they’d train the power snatch instead of the clean.

[@EmeraldCurlySamurai]

Is the jumping position for the power snatch the same as the power clean?

[@michelef406]

Yes, it is.

[@TheButtonSmasher]

7:49 Yeah Slap that hand ! 😂

[@connorw360]

Is chase deadlifting in the background lol

[@michaelcabello9664]

You can see it a lot in this lifter: From the hip she has vertical, upright extension and her feet stay in the same place (more or less) From the ground her high hip position puts her in a bad spot to initiate the second pull and she jumps forward upon final hip extension. This again shows that high hips in the first pull can lead to too much horizontal displacement of the bar

[@MikeXCSkier]

The high hip position is cancer. For 40 years weightlifters have used a low hip position with the bar starting over the base of the big toe (roughly). There is no advantage in making the first pull vertical, which is supposedly the whole objective. It has not been shown to increase the amount of weight lifted. But don't bother raising these points because Rippetoe is right because Rippetoe.

[@marek_petrovsky]

Mr. Rippetoe is teaching power snatch, not classic snatch. He even mentions it in the video.

[@michaelcabello9664]

Marek Petrovský doesn’t matter if you catch the bar in the power position (high) or in a full squat (low). There is a correct way to set up the first and second pull and using a high hip method is not it.

[@marek_petrovsky]

@@michaelcabello9664 Thanks for clarification. So the hips in the set up should be lower and the bar a little bit further (over the toes)? I would appreciate your advice.

[@michaelsasin7407]

@@marek_petrovsky Yes, the bar should be at the base of the big toe - roughly. Hips lower. As you lift off the floor the back angle should not change until the bar gets past the knees. Lots of tutorials on this.

[@BxCortez2050]

God damnit that girl is hott

[@doug9522]

What kind of shoes are those?

[@andrewallison496]

Adidas powerlifs 3.0

[@jerrythomas608]

Just get to the gym.

[@Mediagix]

Only thing missing on Rip is the gun holster. Yeehaaaa!

[@andrewlimparis6089]

Only came to the comments to see it anyone made a joke about the funk growing in Rips arm. Lol You da man Rip!!

[@djsnit]

Power Snatch > Power Clean,

[@ahmedbenhariz8694]

Bruh her arm finna snap

[@strengthpassion6890]

Finna or gonna? Lol

[@getstrongby4038]

Mark gets a little touchy feely with the women don't he lol

[@satidor]

these people need to start smiling, it looks so strange. despite the professional knowledge taught.

[@zazen69]

She is probably worried about embarrassing herself on camera, she is not a professional actress you know.

[@jasonsanders8797]

What purpose would it serve?

[@Re3iRtH]

Age / injuries aren't an excuse for Rip's body composition. Why is an out of shape dude teaching an athletic movement? Doesn't give me a hell of a lot of confidence in this excercise.

[@tobiasopsahl6163]

Watch their video on «What is strength?». Rip is still quite strong

[@yasinpatel12345]

dude, this guy is a beginner coach. Never lifted anything special and isn't that strong, average at best. His coach of snatch is a freaking joke...

[@Re3iRtH]

@@davidmock1152 Agree with the guy above. I'd rather take Snatch advice from Klokov and Lv Xiaojin. They talk to talk, Walk The Walk, and have the body to prove it.

[@PurplemonkeyHS]

"Jump "?!? There is no jumping in a snatch. And someone please explain how this is functional to human movement.

[@WillRAMO]

@@davidmock1152 How did his athletes perform, then? Starting strength makes novices strong. So do many other programs, honestly. Where are the high level athletes doing Rip's advanced programming? Genuinely asking.
