slow? :D I only can do the lift with enough speed. slow is really difficult. but... I will try...and Im a real hip/leg lifter in the snatch. I just use the hips for speed and power, very low shrug usage.
 
Thnx for the tips btw :D

that slow power snatch is an auxiliar with you make with a low weight (aprox 50% over snatch).

Im 27 years old. I started a couple of years ago (21 y/o) with bodybuilding training and powerlifting. But When I trained in a WL gym with some other guys I just really loved the classical weightlifting movements....
If i understand well you have 6yrs of BB and two of wl?
So maybe you started wl with too much weight, are totally different movements and you must start wl with low weights.


In fact, the problem is that I never recovered from the injurie and started training too soon. It's the Teres Minor muscle of the rotator cuff.

I did power snatches for a while, but it seems to be harder for the injured shoulder than full snatches.

You have to fully recover before! Also if it may take a whole year, and then be careful, because if you have this prob at 27, what may happen at 30?

3 Shoulder Exercises for Rotator Cuff Injuries by Citihealth

Understanding Shoulder Pain (Sports Injuries #3)

Obviously power snatch works shoulders more than snatch, dont do for some time, do power clean and see if its better.

The ''right part of the brain training story'', which the chiropractor said; you guys think it's logic? ...Because I never heard it before....

No it isnt.

I started with very light weights offcourse (I had a wl trainer). but now I understand what's the problem. Last friday I had a consult with a movement scientist.

The following points are not normal:

-A lack of mobility (range of motion) in the Thorax. If there's not enough Thoracal mobility, everything depends on the shoulders. It just looked for the weakest point. it sounds really plausible...

-Very short hamstrings

-probably a lack of strength in the glutes muscles.


Now I start with mobility exercises, twice a day. ....it's really painfull but it feels good when it's finished!

This is good, mobility is the basic of all sports, and clearly BB doesnt improve it
wl requires perfect mobility

No BB build muscles for me, but my mobility was even getting worse!
