Topic: Im looking for photo-sequences of the snatch and clean lifting techniques

[Jaime Diaz]

Dear members of WE. I am a sport psychologist working with young athletics throwers (shot putters, hammer throwers, etc,..) in Qatar, and they struggle with their weight lifting techniques.

I am looking for photo-sequences of the snatch and clean lifting techniques. More especifically the following:

-Over the shoulder lifting technique (since it is the one used by our s & c coaches)
-if possible, lifting submaximal weights (i heard it provides better technical features than lifting maximum weights)
-Also, the view must be from the side (not front view or angled).

I would appreciate i someone could provide some info regarding where can i find such especific sequences.

Thank you all.

Jaime, generally the action sequences are of heavy snatches and cleans - but maybe somebody out there has what you are looking for. Also I thought I had something that would be suitable to you, but then I saw the photos were at a slight angle and not directly from the side.

What do you mean by "over the shoulder" technique?

Check out the following link - http://bennsweightliftingvideos.info/

It has slow motion of the lifts from a side view.

I think Jim Hooper did this once with Kendrick Farris in the clean (and possibly jerk).  I used it for helping to instruct athletes in the gym but I cant find the original file which is disappointing.

I also have a Gardev snatch sequence which is not too far off from a side on view.  I am not sure who initially designed the power point slides for this but I saved it from one of the weightlifting forums.
