quickness.
Check out the linked video below, and note a few things.
1. Erin reaches full extension before she drops below the bar (if you freeze it at the right time, she is completely off the ground, shoulders shrugged, butt cheeks pinched). This is what we are looking for when we say “finish your pull”.
2. The bar path nearly perfectly vertical
3. She is extremely fast to pull herself under the bar
4. Erin EXPLODES out of the hole. In fact, she comes out of the bottom with so much force, she actually leaves the ground again. Hard to see, but she is actually using the whip of the bar to get out of the bottom.
This is how Erin Karcshner, international-level weightlifter, snatches. Watch closely, and do your best to pick up some tricks!
I will see if I can figure out the correct sequence of keys and clicks on this contraption in order to have the video embedded in the post. Arrrgh
