Did a podcast with the boys from @barbellshruggedpodcast yesterday. They showed me a cool little warm-up they do with their athletes to teach them the feel of bringing the bar into the power position called the Thacker method — named after Justin Thacker from The Lab in St. Louis, Missouri.

The progression, should you choose to engage, works like this:

1. Snatch/clean from thighs

2. Muscle snatch/clean from thighs

3. Pwr snatch/clean from thighs

4. Pwr snatch/clean + overhead sq. from thighs

5. Snatch/clean from thighs

Mike here is just demonstrating a snatch pull from the thighs because he can’t go overhead at the moment.
