Recovery on the snatch requires the athlete to maintain a rigid trunk as the legs work to elevate system.

Lack of adequate strength in trunk to secure the bar overhead can express itself as the lifter getting pinned in the hole, the trunk tilting off axis to the shoulders during recovery, and/or instability during recovery resulting in potential loss of the load (usually forward). #FuBarbell #weightlifting #crossfit #crossfitgirls #Oly #Olympic #Olympicweightlifting #usaw #snatch #clean #cleanandjerk #technique #inspiration #motivation #instagramfitness #fitspo #dianefu

The trunk is your transmission of power from your legs and hips to the bar. No matter how strong your legs become, if your trunk can’t support the force, you’ll always fall short of your potential. What have you done for midline lately?

If you told me 10 years ago that I’d be coaching a world champion rower (@julietstarrett), a 2 time Olympic gold medalist (@ecaf22), and a legit Dr of psychology all in 1 session, I wouldn’t have believed you. These women are badass, and I am honored each week to help make the best in the world better.

@mattzery asks: what do you do to help athletes who have trouble keeping the bar in close coming out of their second pull?

This common fault can can be a result of a few things:

1. A strong hip drive with a weak leg drive at the finish of the second pull.

2. Letting the elbows get too far behind the bar.

3. Too much tension in the arms.

The Overhead Squat:

Feet - Roughly shoulder width apart with the toes angled out 5-20 degrees.

Hips - Hips open allowing the body to sit to full depth in the hole.

Trunk - Relatively upright and stacked over the hips and feet.

Shoulders - Externally rotated with the shoulder blades slightly retracted and rotated upwards to actively resist depression.

Arms - Elbows locked out with the palms facing up using a wide grip (snatch grip preferably) to support the bar.

Kari Shimomura (@kshimee) executing excellent technique on a 85kg/187lbs clean&jerk.

When it comes to the competition style lifts, there are a few options in which an athlete can direct the bar from shoulders to overhead: power/push jerking, squat jerking and split jerking.
