In this episode Charlie and I breakdown how we look at developing the traditional lifts outside of just performing the lifts themselves.
Can you improve your snatch by just performing the snatch? The short answer is yes. But can you maximize your potential? Not likely.
3:07 - Can you improve the snatch by just performing snatches?
4:07 - Putting in quality reps
5:10 - Knowing what good technique is, training without a coach, identify your own mistakes
8:59 - Fix your swing, fix your snatch, never bang your wrist again
11:30 - Compensatory, dysfunctional biomechanics
12:44 - Using wrist guards to get past growing pains
14:23 - The kettlebell rack "crunch", fundamental principle or style nuance?
20:32 - Know when to keep or drop a technique or drill
23:00 - Is there stylized breathing for kettlebell sport, and when do you teach that?
25:15 - The importance of breath
26:40 - The prevalence of flawed breathing
27:15 - Breath and balance are connected
29:45 - High pull progression for snatch development
31:40 - Choose the heavy bell: using natural feedback when teaching
33:40 - Snatching will improve your snatch before increasing arm strength, grip strength or endurance
35:35 - A swing is not a swing; narrow the focus of why and how you swing to improve your snatch; Rudnev insertion progression
37:09 - Re-engineering your snatch style; specificity of your drills; the Denisov rocking swing
41:35 - How I added 40 reps to my 24kg snatch
42:30 - Technique vs. Grip Strength for improving snatch numbers (see study below)
43:02 - Big technical changes vs. little nuanced fine tuning for increasing numbers; small changes can have the biggest impact
