The Power Snatch with Mark Rippetoe

[@thomaspt]

"Just exactly like that." - must be extremely satisfying to hear.

[@benjams5743]

Just starting my Olympic Lifting journey at the age of 40, and these videos from 10 years ago here are the easiest and best to digest by a mile. What a coach.

[@davidjennings127]

It took 18:40 to go from never snatched to a stylish jump and rack,soooo awesome.

[@ScrolltheNature]

with his words mark hypnotises the trainee and student performs the snatch unknowingly. signs of great teacher. ♥

[@toopkarcher4941]

I love when he says it doesn't need to be any more complicated. Seems to be a thing with any barbell exercise where people are too scared to learn it because it's incredibly difficult to do properly and will take lots of money to hire an amazing coach and hours of practise. SS method all the way.

[@stinky_rear9168]

Is a coach required?

[@brianserious]

Not for the power versions but certainly for full Olympic weightlifting for real progression

[@reztaft]

A great instruction on snatching .. he’s awsome

[@spockthejock]

I agree w/ Mitchell. Your explaination of the jumping position and the jump itself makes more sense to me than the explaination given by Pendelay in the California Strength series on snatch. The lifter in this vid does a great job too.

[@Tanirhum]

I wish we had a Mark Rippetoe in Switzerland. I wish he was my uncle.

[@damariszuckschwert9489]

Feeling you here in Brugg...

[@docoftheworld]

haha I was thinking the same, how cool and nice to have an uncle like Rip. Authoritative, informative, and useful

[@rajinder2k4]

You mean dad

[@RachaelJohn]

@Tanirhum 😂

[@patrickclosefitness]

Rip is all of our uncles

[@manu85345]

Dude I am trying to learn the snatch and as always the most straight forwards is Ripp’s explanation

[@ossu.entertainment5761]

amazing ability to break it down into little steps! this teacher and his calm patience are awsome! very motivating and helpful! thnaks a lot! learned tons I can use on my Jiujitsu competition prep! thank you! cheers from Austria!

[@MarcusLeonard307]

Great explanation, one of the best I've seen, and the lifter seems really easy to work with

[@wassup253]

Years ago I injured my shoulders conducting an overhead squat incorrectly. Following Mark's fundamentals for Olympic lifts has increased my efficiency greatly and injury free. It's amazing how much easier the lifts are with proper techniques. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@89sharlo]

Way to go, Rip. You are a great teacher. I have SS and PP, and I really enjoy the video content you have on youtube. Your videos on power snatching and power cleaning are so incredibly helpful to me. I seriously doubt I would have the confidence to attempt these two lifts without your videos. Thanks!

[@clementaugustine6493]

Thank you, Sir Mark.

[@coreyworthingtonii9230]

Beautiful tutorial. I’ll be watching this several times.

[@noracampanile978]

He had to retire from comedy for some reason ...

[@jslee8737]

Excellent coach.

[@TheIronKingLTD]

Amazing!! i wish we ll took the time to be as clean and profianial teacher.

[@CankleCankle]

That’s not a word, I tried to Google it and I got some dirty websites recommended

[@DigitalicaEG]

He's a fucking master, explained it all and got someone to execute it flawlessly without even demonstrating for him. Wow

[@toolate6971]

thanks for this training video.

[@swing8]

Great video!

[@matiasbecerrals]

Superb!!

[@나그네-g1s]

Amazing

[@danielbuege1]

Just exactly like that.

[@MrDavidTrionfi]

Mr Rippetoe would you still use the power clean if you use the snatch? Does it negate the clean, or are both useful?

[@lonetrans7509]

David Trionfi you might want to check out "practical programming for strength"

[@lazur1]

I was freeze-framing to check details, but the actual snatch only took one frame, so checking midpoint elbow angle wasn't possible.

[@dogge6847]

👍😀 thx

[@islamnasr482]

very happy not to hear shrug and hips in the explanation makes it easy thx coach

[@michaelcabello9664]

Any comments on this lifter jumping forward while power snatching?

[@MikeXCSkier]

Because he is teaching that you start the second pull mid thigh which is incorrect. The second pull in the snatch starts at the hip. By starting at mid thigh the bar is going to move away from body. The lifter will need to jump forward to compensate for the bar being too far forward. This is not a problem when using an empty bar, but add some weight and this lifter will start missing his snatches out in front all the time.

[@the_third_sun]

actually he is starting his pull on his heels and then when he is jumping he gets on his toes...i think thats the reason

[@tengis0145]

I think he is swinging the bar and in order to go under the bar he is jumping forward

[@skandalbanker]

@@MikeXCSkier Thats what i thought. There is a difference between power clean and snatch, isn't it

[@Jason-qu4fe]

why do i feel he writes questions for the cscs exam

[@powskier]

I can learn this but I'll never be able to do anything that requires a front rack like power Cleans and front squat. I don't have the flexibility to bring my elbows up.

[@Andrew-vt2wq]

Don't get me wrong, I love the snatch, but mostly I just jerk and when I'm done I clean it.

[@cavasnel]

haaaa

[@nilspeters643]

Depends on what you like and what you wanna train. Clean and Jerk is a more strength focused exercise whereas the snatch is more focused on explosive power.

[@davidjennings127]

He’s actually coaching.

[@thewayin6493]

Louis CK was a really good student

[@michaelsylvester5152]

so are you kneeing the bar up or hip checking up? the middle part of the lift get me confused of what to do?

[@johntrains1317]

michael sylvester seems to be both. The hips hit forward and the things hit up. This sends the bar out and up and then you shrug it back over the shoulder. At least I think.

[@johntrains1317]

Thighs

[@MikeXCSkier]

For the snatch, the explosive part of the lift or "second pull" happens when the bar is at the hips and NOT mid thigh. This is wrong. Also, when you receive the bar overhead you do NOT shrug up. This is wrong.

[@smashu2]

When i bought my bar I did not know anything and I had no squat rack and it is the way i figure out how to lift my bar to do my squats. It just felt the most natural way to lift the bar to me.

[@theoth.1704]

You must squat really light then.

[@IgnatiusCheese]

AS A STRENGTH COACH IS SAY SIMPLY . . . Y E S

[@aramaswa4]

Hopkins football? Was he a strength training coach there?

[@MSchmitz77]

No, but Bill Starr was. Starr is the guy who coached Rip in the first place, I'd argue even that Bill Starr's advice trumps that of Rippetoe in certain respects

[@ACTS238JK]

Poor dude staring getting tired lol

[@HuckFinn212]

When you get tired of snatches, just jerk it!!!

[@longhairwhocares]

I like old Rip videos because he's not droning on drunkenly about Texas seceding, or about coastal liberals, or whatever. Fame ruins everyone

[@TheRobinL]

If we look at peoples outside the US from country's like Russia, Bulgaria & China. Country's that actually win some medals and set some world records. They are not advocating the jumping part. All talk about Sliding with there feet, no jumping.

[@MikeXCSkier]

robin L you are correct. While comparing the lift to a "jump" is not necessarily a bad analogy or bad coaching cue, it is not a true "jump." The lifter should not be getting "big air." The feet leave the platform just enough to slide out to a wider and more stable position to receive the bar overhead.

[@MikeXCSkier]

The only difference between a power snatch and a snatch is where the bar is caught. The pull is and should be exactly the same. The way Rippetoe teaches it is wrong.

[@the_third_sun]

@@MikeXCSkier in greece coaches say to jump hard and you start accelerating when the bar is mid thigh so rippetoe is right...you dont know very well these thing mike sasin

[@Re3iRtH]

@@the_third_sun How many world records have Greek set in the Olympic snatch? Chinese?

Its rude to snatch.
