Cheers guys.

Apparently Jesse Marunde swore by snatches for stuff like one motioning stones, plus I think they're a great addition to any routine to help build explosive power.

Here's Jesse workout from 2005 doing power snatches:

Well done Ken. LMAO at the guys watching you. Arnold said in the new encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding that surrounding yourself with serious trainers will help your motivation. From the look af the lads in your gym, all your motivation comes from yourself!!

Lucutis, I don't know any strongman who isn't a nutter. You've got to be a little mental to be out flipping tyres on a freezing December morning rather than tucked up in bed watching tv.

Last one wasn't too bad really. If it wasn't in the snatch position I would of dumped it backwards, but it came onto the traps so was easy to dump that way just like dumping a back squat.

Great lifts. That last one was a bit bloody close though.

LOL, that was an impressive bail!

Are you noticing a lot of backwards momentum when you snatch it up thats causing you to step back on the first two?

Was just because I pressed the rep out on the first 90kg set mate, send 90kg was spot on, just moving feet together.

I think it's probably down to getting the sip into the snatch to recieve the bar right too. Not dipped enough and you need to move the feet to catch the bar.
