snatch clinic work the snatch starting with coach burgener's warm up and skill transfer set. from there, progress to the snatch from the power position; the mid-thigh position and finally the ground. rinse, lather, repeat. enjoy.
to clarify any confusion (this is for those who aren't our members) -
its understood here in cfjax that the snatch is taught from the high hang and work our way down. we drill the down/up (1-2-3 of the warm up) progression and then from there move on to the power position.
the power position is not where you receive the bar. that is called the snatch land (of course, we are talking about the snatch here). the power position (aka double knee bend or scoop) is the trigger point prior to the jump in the snatch.
we start our full snatches from here vice the high hang in order to 'train' our members to properly work the power position and to avoid jumping early. in most cases, if we begin newbies snatching from the high hang and foregoing the power position, what inevitably happens is that they dip incorrectly and jump too soon.
so, once again...progress to snatching from the power position, then onto the mid-thigh and finally below the knee/ground (as per coach burgener circa feb 7-8 2009).
The progression starts at the high hang, not the power position. The power position is where you receive the bar.
