Strategy:
>Test of weightlifting and gymnastics!
>Go fast early to be able to use time in later rounds for the heavier weights.
>Singles are ABSOLUTELY recommended for the Squat Snatch!
>Break up the Chest to Bar early to save your pulling strength from the start! Butterfly chest to bars are fine, again – break up early.
>Take time in the set up of the Snatch. If you miss an attempt, take a few extra seconds to gather yourself and reset for next attempt.
>Take a few extra seconds after Chest to Bar Pull-ups when jumping to the heavy weight. You WILL be surprised when pulling it for 1st time off of ground.
Squat Snatches (Points of Performance) :
>Know your grip
>Know your hip height, don’t set hips too high or chance missing lift
>Don’t stop pulling!
Chest to Bar Pullups (Points of Performance) :
>Grip right outside of shoulders
>Wear gymnastic straps to prevent tearing (can always rotate straps for snatch if concerned they will be in way)
>Elbows need to pull behind body
>Overextend on chest to make contact with bar
