Olympic Lifting (amazing lifts)

are those guys reall short? or does it just look like that?

yea, Naim was like under 5ft. that is why they called him pocket hercules. Those are the lightweights. they are much much shorter than the heavy weights.
 
YouTube - Power Snatch
as you can see in the video some people dont squat all the way down. will this allow you to get as much from the lift? or should i squat all the way down?
mainly because I feel more comfortable not going all the way down. if it is necesarry to go all the way down I will, but if i can get the same amount of explosivness and strenght without going all the way down i will not go all the way down.

Edit: here is another video of what I like to do.YouTube - Power Snatch 242lbs, Power clean 308lbs, 3board press 440.
 
the clean at 308 is crazy most ive ever done is 215x2
 
That's strange how Dimas jerks the weight. What's the word for that?
 
Power clean or power snatch means that you catch it in a quarter squat position (above parallel). The weight is lighter in order to catch it like this. A squat clean or squat snatch means you catch it in a full squat position. It has nothing to do with whether you start the lift from the floor or from the hang. You can either power clean or squat clean from the floor or the hang.

KC- it is called a power jerk or a push jerk.
 
what is better for explosiveness and power? a power snatch or an olympic snatch?

both are very explosive. the power snatch is going to happen a lot quicker because the load is lighter (about 70-85% of yout 1RM squat snatch) so you can pull it much faster and don't have to squat under it as deep.
 
how come they keep saying that the world record is changing. do they mean the total or the just the c&j because naim c&jed 190 in seoul. or is it because this is a different weight class?

it is the world record for the clean and jerk that is changing hands.

I think they may have restructured the weight classes?? Not sure really.
 
Yeah, it looked extremely painful! I liked the part where the weight went through the floor and crushed a car underneath.
