Welcome to episode one of Snatch Chat.
In this episode, I break down Olympic weightlifting in a way that actually makes sense, without overcomplicating everything.
I share my journey from CrossFit into specialising in Olympic weightlifting, and why moving away from chaos, random programming, and cue overload completely changed the way I train and coach.
Most lifters don’t struggle because they’re lazy, they struggle because they’re overwhelmed. Too many drills. Too many opinions. Too much noise.
This episode is about simplifying your approach so you can build better technique, train with intent, and make real progress without living in the gym.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, inconsistent, or unsure what you should actually be working on, this will give you clarity.
✅ How to actually improve your snatch and clean & jerk
✅ Why technique beats effort every time
✅ The role of top-down snatches and why they work
✅ How to approach training around holidays/ busy periods
✅ What to do when training isn’t going well
✅ Why understanding beats doing more
✅ How to train smarter, not just harder
