Weightlifting Movements From Full Extension: The Snatch and Clean

摘要

WEIGHTLIFTING MOVEMENTS REQUIRE SUFFICIENT BODY SPEED TO SQUAT DOWN AND CATCH THE BARBELL. BODY SPEED CAN ONLY BE MAXIMIZED IF THE CORRECT POSITIONS ARE REACHED BEFORE THE TURNOVER AND CATCH PHASES. THE SNATCH FROM FULL EXTENSION (SFFE) AND THE CLEAN FROM FULL EXTENSION (CFFE) ALLOW THE ATHLETE TO TRANSITION FROM THE FULL EXTENSION POSITION TO A QUICK SQUAT UNDERNEATH THE BARBELL. THE SFFE AND CFFE CAN BE INCLUDED INTO THE WARM-UP OR COOL-DOWN PERIODS OF A TRAINING SESSION, FOCUSING ON THE RESPECTIVE LIFTS. CORRECT BODY POSITIONS AND SPEED, AS OPPOSED TO BARBELL LOAD, SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED.
