BFS Clinician and Olympic Discus Thrower Stefan Fernholm Power Snatching 275 Pounds.

By Dr. Greg Shepard The Power Snatch is an excellent lift. In fact, it is so excellent, you can use it as a BFS Core Lift inplace of Power Cleans. I’m not saying it is better than Cleans but you may want to try it for awhile. It can be a great change of pace. You may also want to work on a quick lift movement twice a week. If so, a great clinic would be to do Power Cleans once and Power Snatches once. Don’t be scared of the Power Snatch. If you do reasonably well with the Power Clean, you will do just fine with the Power Snatch movement. High school athletes who Power Clean well should start with 105 pounds. It would be superior to have our 25 pound allrubber bumber plates.

Begin the Snatch with the same starting position as the Power Clean except you will use a wider grip. suggest to start with, that you put your first finger on the grooved line on the bar. Bring the bar up just like the Clean.

Now, jump high and explosively! Then, pop under the bar as illustrated by Stefan.
