Go Get Strong

One way to make learning weightlifting easier (it will never be easy just fyi) is to break up the classic movement into pieces. For example, in order to learn how to sn**ch, you must be able to stabilize the bar overhead, keep stability through your body as you descend, and then have the strength to stand back up. With Noah, he first learned how to sn**ch-grip push press, and then how to push press + overhead squat. Now he will learn how to sn**ch balance. By breaking up the movement, you set your athlete up for success. Be patient, master the basics, THEN progress.

Clean high pull floaters, aka no-touch high pulls, aka call it whatever you want—just do a clean high pull without touching the ground between reps. High pulls are great on their own, but, by not touching, greater levels of stability and coordination are required—two skills that you better improve if you want to be a weightlifter. If you’re trying these for the first time, start light. It will take some practice to get the timing right at heavy weights.
