Why snatch?
First and foremost because it is fun.  You can’t master the snatch in a week, month, or a year.  There is always room for improvement, some people may be turned off by the technicality of the lift but for me that makes the snatch more enjoyable.  It is more of a personal fitness journey, and not a destination, you keep chasing improvement because perfection is impossible.

The snatch will make you strong, fast, flexible, coordinated, and functional.  Yes, please, and thank you; I would like all of the above.  Check out my boy Pyrros Dimas below….one of the most powerful human beings on the planet!

Snatch 115kg (PR)
Clean & Jerk 142kg
Total 257kg

Don’t know if we got video of the Clean & Jerk, but here is my 115kg successful snatch and my miss at 120kg. This is a tough angle to analyze the lift, but there is plenty of room for improvement! See any faults that I typically call you out on? Post to comments
