Shout out to ‪@hookgrip‬ for many of the amazing examples used in this video.

Been watching all the videos but this one in particular is great, not only for beginners but also as a reminder for advanced lifters. 8:34 was just the perfect explanation for me being new to this sport. More content like this please!!!!

[@tested123]

i thought it said 'how to clean your snatch' so i clicked immediately.

[@truthseeker7260]

Amazing way of showing how to do snatch and clean !

[@mikehuckabay5514]

Thx. I love how in dep ya go on this.

[@christophercowan1645]

I always assumed shoulder over bar was the center of shoulder. No one has ever explained. THANK YOU!!

[@christinasteward2368]

This was so helpful!!!!

[@isotopestudios1401]

I came across Chad coaching crossfit oly lifts and didn't know who he was but was very impressed by his low key approach and expertise. Now I know who he is- 2x Olympian and national record holder... listen to this guy vs your box trainer... :)

[@Scott-zh5ip]

Pls do one of these on the power position!

[@Tony-nn2pe]

Awesome content👌🏻 can give some tip about speed under the bar also ? Thanks

[@billio721]

Love how easily you both can explain not only what to look for but why as well! Would love to see a video on some quick basics for beginners with you both! Something like how to train your hook grip and scaling with just starting.

[@SquatUniversity]

Thanks! And if you scroll back through my recent videos on my channel Chad and I have made a few other olympic lifting vids you may enjoy!

[@arthurtheaardvark13]

I hate hook grip 😭

[@coachpaul-vedicfitness]

I really love those videos on weightlifting together. I’m 6´2 and i am starting to snatch and clean & jerk. But it’s really tough mobility wise when you are not « hip » gifted. I can’t be in the bottom position without rounding my low back (so I can’t do the lift from the floor yet). I feel like I have to stretch my adductors to allow myself to keep the proper position of my pelvis but it’s a tough one for long femur persons that sit at a desk all day

[@mickjager5974]

When I first saw Vaughn squated down I though that was a pony tail swept around and hanging down below his chin! Funny as hell......to me!

[@Killingzone99]

Can you do a video on SLAP tears and bicep tendinisis

[@prescottosegie]

I love this thank you so much I appreciate it very much💯💪🏾#SquatUClub

[@SquatUniversity]

Thank you!

[@akul_cicajlkrb]

Damn... Shaggy is a 2x Olympian!

[@ThePlatedFeast]

Was looking for this comment 😂

[@SCOOBY082]

@squatuniversity where can I get that mate I like how it looks like it helps with foot placement

[@karthik_silkroads]

did they just come out with a basics program?

[@normaorozco6025]

I'm here bc my coach sent me here 😅

[@farkas266]

Curious question Aaron, how tall are you?

[@Lwhosane]

I have a short torso and longer legs. It’s so hard for me to remain upright in a squatted position with a load bearing overhead press. Is it hopeless for me to learn oly lifts?

[@sloppy1287]

the angles huh.

[@TheStupidcomment]

All 5'11 guys destroyed in one throw away comment.

[@Killingzone99]

How did I know if a physio is as knowledgeable as you ?
