Snatch Fundamentals - Sign Up Today
We are excited to get our first clinic off the ground, and we're starting with snatch fundamentals. Why would we start with the most complicated movement you can do with a barbell? We want to demystify snatch technique, and you will leave having confidence that you know the fundamentals. This is particularly important, when there is so much misinformation on the Internet, Youtube and your local HIIT gym.
This clinic is going to be run by Austin McCubbin, who is a certified by USA Weightlifting as a level 2 Advanced Weightlifting Coach. This course is going to be 100% focused on fundamentals, and we stick to more traditional technique as taught by USA Weightlifting, which is our country's governing body over the sport. This technique is not flashy, but it is solid, and you can feel comfortable knowing you're not getting poor instruction. Austin has received training from some of the top coaches and Olympian athletes in the country as to proper coaching techniques.
What Do I Get If I Attend?
Attendees will get advanced fundamentals training, receive a complimentary video coaching video, as well as receive a handout summarizing the key points in the clinic. We want everyone to walk away feeling confident that they're on the right track to implementing consistent, repeatable, fundamentally sound technique.
The clinic will last three hours, with a brief theory section before we get hands-on.
Lifters will group up with others of similar experience level to share platforms, and we will be doing hands-on coaching through the snatch progressions.
The snatch progression will look like:
- Drop power snatch for footwork and arm lock-out
- Power position power snatch
- Power snatch from mid-knee
- Power snatch from the floor
- Full-depth transition
Three hours is a tight amount of time for all this, but we want people to be able to go from working on technique with lighter weights to being able to test in heavy ranges.
Time permitting, every attendee will have the head coach video one of their heavier lifts. You will receive a complimentary follow-up email linking to a download video coaching clip, where the coach breaks down technique through voiceover and drawing on the video.
Attendees will also receive a handout covering the concepts and fundamental points that we went over during the course, so that you'll always have this material to refer back to in the future.
