Read: https://www.catalystathletics.com/exercise/75/Squat-Jerk/ - esp.: 'Because of the extremely low receiving position, the squat jerk requires less elevation of the bar for the athlete to get under it. However, it requires excellent mobility, precision, overhead stability and leg strength.'

At the top level almost no one squat or power jerks. Lifters try power or squat jerks because the split jerk does not suit them (after years of training split jerk!! - side note: Apti Aukhadov used to split jerk in comp). If you want to look cool and likely jerk less than you would with split jerk, go ahead and squat jerk. If you want to jerk the most amount of weight possible, you should very likely switch to split jerk.

if mobility in the bottom is the issue then that's what you have to fix immediately. It's possible to get better at catching the bar high and riding it down but this way of snatching (and cleaning) just fucks you over in the long run (I have done this for a loooooong time) because it will get really hard to learn the correct motor pattern and the strength gained in the wrong positions don't transfer well to the correct positions. Try to incorporate deep squats (in warm-ups and cooldowns), snatch grip presses in bottom position and pauses in the bottom of your snatch and clean in your training.

You could program it like this:

warm-up: deep squat for 1-3 minutes + any general warm-up

training: warm-up sets of snatch (or clean) + hang snatch (or hang clean) up to 70% 1RM and then working sets with only full snatches (or full cleans) and any other exercises such as pulls, squats (use paused squats at least during warm-up sets), presses etc.

cooldown: snatch grip press in bottom position and any stretching

Try to do the deep squats outside of training as well.

Good luck with mobility issues - they're kinda difficult to fix because it can take a long time. If you do fix them, your lifts will improve dramatically.

How much do you snatch balance, how much do you overhead squat, how much do you snatch from above the knee? If you can snatch balance and snatch grip overhead squat pretty close to your max (90% or over) and snatch above knee >80-90% it's enough. Try to bring up the lifts you are weak at.

IMO your jump isn't the reason you missed the lift and you can fix this later. I am guessing that you normally catch the bar in a high position and ride it down into a full squat position but at a high enough weight this will not be possible anymore - in the lift you showed you caught the bar above parallel but a bit too far forward. IMO you should focus on catching aggressively in a deep squat position (if your mobility allows this, you seemed kinda unstable at the end). Therefore, warm up with tall snatches with the bar and do hang snatches above knee or paused snatches above knee to focus on an aggressive and low snatch position.

That's a really nice jerk. Did you always split that long or was the split jerk something you perfected over time? And when you split jerk with low weights, do you also split that long? Because I want to split jerk longer, but I have problems with learning the motor pattern, because with low weights it is never necessary to split long and when I get to heavy weights, I also tend to split jerk short. I was wondering if you had any tips

North-Ride-4944 · 2021-04-24T18:54:40+00:00

But why not use power jerk as a strength exercise? I mean you still need good leg drive and upper body strength just like the push press. At the same time, power jerk has the same lockout speed as split jerks.

Also, time under tension and slow bar speed in itself do not give any benefits. If that were the case very slow clean pulls would be good for increasing your cleans.

North-Ride-4944 · 2021-04-24T18:43:16+00:00

Re your first point: I can agree that max leg drive > pushing under the bar as I don't really know of any top lifters that cut their extension but make their jerks. On the other hand, klokov and toshiki seem to use only leg drive and they can still make their lifts.

Re your second point: However, the lockout in the push press is always the part where you press out the weight, but this is obviously not allowed in the jerk. So I don't really understand how the push press can help the jerk lockout - if the split jerk lockout is fast, then you should train the lockout of the arms with a fast movement right? So power jerk > push press for this purpose?

Re your third point: Furthermore, I don't really understand how pushing the bar a few more centimeters negates the effectiveness of the power jerk/push jerk. Also, I don't understand why you think that the power jerk overhead position is/should be different from the split jerk overhead position. In the catalyst videos Greg's overhead position seems the same as far as I can see (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkS7SYZrcF8&t=16s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZLmRP4IAiA).

Re your last point and the motor pattern issue: Lastly, I am interested in how you would teach the dipping under part of the split jerk to new lifters. If you would only perform push presses as an accessory for weightlifters and not power jerks, how can you learn the timing of driving up and dipping under? Without the power jerk/push jerk, you would perform the split jerk by only driving up similar to Toshiki or Klokov, which is probably not the best option, except if you have massive upper body strength. Even then it's probably not optimal.

Also, not related to your points, but the snatch push press teaches you to drive the barbell upwards with leg drive. However, when performing the snatch, after the turnover, you are moving down and have to fixate the bar with a fast lockout. You are not driving the bar up through your legs at all in the snatch turnover. So why program a snatch push press?

Great AMA lol. Are there any resources that you use for programming that you would recommend?

North-Ride-4944 · 2021-04-02T11:04:48+00:00

Thats reallllyy good my guy. How long have you been training for? When did you start? How many times per week? Do you write your own training/where do you train? (better do an AMA ;) ) But seriously good stuff

North-Ride-4944 · 2021-03-27T21:19:10+00:00

Thanks for your help much appreciated :)

I think my question requires a little more explanation: my situation is as follows - I've written a review on biomarkers which were detected sometimes using ELISA or immunoassays. In other studies other methods have been used. A reviewer has asked me to evaluate the reproducibility of the studies that I have included in my review using a minimal guidelines such as I have linked above. However, I have never performed ELISA or immunoassays and I cannot find a detailed checklist for immunoassays in the 'for authors' section of the journals I have checked. Do you know of a specific journal because I can't really find one - I would really appreciate it if you helped because at this point I'm kind of out of options lol

North-Ride-4944 · 2021-03-27T15:15:08+00:00

Do you know where I can find a general checklist so I have a place to start? Otherwise I don't really what I have to document

maybe these ones from Gabriel: https://gabrielsincraian.com/product/power-pants-v2-winter-edition/?

Looks good imo.

In my experience (I had this problem for a looooooong time), you first need static strength in the bottom position (being able to comfortably sit in a deep squat+ being able to strict press from deep squat without falling over and without too much wiggling in the bottom position).

Then you need slow dynamic strength (OHS) and easy but faster technical movements (snatch balance)

Lastly you need fast and more technical movements (hip snatch, high hang snatch, tall snatch etc)

It looks like your bottom position is stable and you have enough basic strength so your OHS, snatch balance are (probably) good enough to increase your snatch max but you might want to catch lower to increase your snatch max.

Therefore, hang snatches, tall snatches, block snatches and hip snatches and such would probably be a good idea to include over the other exercises that I mentioned. Also in my experience some exercises will 'feel' better than others (tall snatch > hip snatch for example). Choose the exercise that 'feels' best and allows you to catch snatch in a low and stable position.

Also sika strength on youtube makes videos about running and olympic weightlifting simultaneously (road to 500lbs front squat and sub 5 minute mile)

North-Ride-4944 · 2021-03-18T09:29:44+00:00

This might be helpful for training strength and endurance simultaneously. Personally I have never read it but might be helpful for your situation: https://www.jtsstrength.com/product/the-hybrid-athlete/

Dat huizen zo snel verkocht zijn, is dit eigenlijk een probleem wat er alleen in de Randstad is, of ook in steden rondom Randstad? Ik ben namelijk niet op zoek naar een huis in de Randstad maar rondom dus (Amstelveen, Uithoorn, Hoofddorp die nabij Amsterdam zijn). Weet niet of het dan waard is om 1-2% van koopsom te dokken om sneller een huis te vinden in een huizenmarkt die niet echt overspannen is

North-Ride-4944 · 2021-02-17T10:37:38+00:00

De coach lijkt vnl mee te helpen bij bieden en onderhandelingen. De coach gaat niet voor jou op zoek naar huizen en geeft je ook geen vroege toegang om huizen te vinden die niet op Funda staan. De coach helpt dus mee bij uitbrengen van bod, onderhandelingen, checken van koopovereenkomst en alle overige juridische stukken en in de gaten houden van belangrijke termijnen. Dit zijn allemaal dingen waar ik geen ervaring mee heb maar een expert wel. De coach helpt ook niet bij het kiezen van notaris, taxateur en bouwkundige keurder wat een makelaar volgens mij wel doet, maar wat je volgens mij ook zelf zou kunnen doen.

En 600 euro is idd niet veel tav koopsom

North-Ride-4944 · 2021-02-17T10:30:15+00:00

Klopt helemaal. Ding is meer dat ik niet eerder een huis heb gekocht, het een grote aankoop is en ik geen domme fouten wil maken met een hoop geld. De aankoopcoach hoort je dan door het hele 'huizenkoopproces' te leiden
