I am always experimenting with way to challenge myself and my athletes. This complex, is really pretty intense, and is a challenge mentally. Form on this one is critical, more so than heavy weight. This snatch complex uses a wide grip instead of shoulder width and his the upper back more. I have been experimenting with some new BB complex’s and enjoyed this one called the snatch complex. To get efficient at snatches you will need to put in countless hours. So don’t focus on heavy weight, focus on form.
Hip drive on snatches is critical. Most of the athletes at Pat’s Gym are proficient with their hip drive from to power through this movement. The efficiency in hip drive will come from doing swings, cleans, etc.
After this complex, I had some fun with time under tension. Anytime your “rest” puts you in a panic state you are mentally taxed and have to fight through the pain and your mental state. On this one, I ended with a wrist push up complex.
