I do bring up a quite variety of assistance lift in between (snatch and clean variations, various type of presses, front squat) | ||

I get that the Snatch is a great movement, I was more curious about the reason a powerlifter specifically would do it since it seems it would cut into your recovery (also to some extent power cleans). | ||

Everything technically cuts into recovery lol. You're either training or recovering. There's lots of carryover from snatch/cleans to power lifting. Explosive movements are great for increasing the power lifts (such a misnomer), you'll notice olympic lifters have very good deadlift/squat numbers. Just a different way to train the body. | ||

Well, yes, but obviously heavy Snatches are gonna wreck you quite a bit more than most other (assistance) movements. I geuss explosivity makes sense though. I hadn't really considered snatch as having much carryover. | ||

Any of the big multi joint barbell movements have the ability to wreck your body, but they're all also really good for pretty much everything. | ||

I'm a big believer on "stronger is stronger" withing a pretty wide margin. Klokov press, push press, OHP etc all help with my bench in a noticeable way. I have an "explosive day" where I do muscle/power snatch, power clean+push press (and some bb stuff later) I've found the oly lifts to be helpful on developing more lockout power, as they teach you to accelerate past the knees. FWIW I've found front squats, unlike every other human on this planet, completely useless for my back squat, as it turns into an exercise of not chocking myself while trying to avoid dropping the barbell foward rather than a leg workout. One important thing to note is that avoid doing the full oly lifts, and I think you should abstain from them unless you really work on your flexibility to do them properly. Catching heavy cleans without the proper flexibilty is an exelent way to wreck your knees. Just being able to do the movement is not flexible enough; you need a lot of extra flexibility so nothing blows up if (when) you catch in a suboptimal position. Klokov press, push press, OHP etc all help with my bench in a noticeable way. When competition comes I stop doing them and do more benching to improve technique. At some point I might cut out the explosive day completely aswell (or the front squats, god I hate them). | ||

Though the oly lifts seem really fun to do, so an excuse to do them is nice. I also do all the presses I know about, and also hate front squats with a passion If you don't want to do the full oly lifts you can do snatch grip deadlifts (really hit the back and traps/lats) or snatch pulls and power cleans for a less technical version but still explosive lift. | ||

Yeah I already do the snatch grip deadlifts, they are excellent. | ||

Let's see how serious they take the setting down weight thing. Generally I have been feeling really good about working out the last couple of weeks. If everything goes well I'll be topping my DL PR from two years ago tomorrow. I am also killing most workouts even though my life situation is terrible currently for fitness. I am traveling Germany -> Greece -> Italy -> Germany each week for work and only get to work out Friday or Thursday night after coming home and Sunday night before leaving again. But even the late night workouts are going reasonably well. I just feel like having lots of extra energy. I have also noticed I have something like an ab outline for the first time since my skinny years, one that is not just visible at certain angle bathroom mirror trick shots. It's really not important to me but of course a nice side effect. Here is to hoping the good streak continues so I can go kill it come skiing season. | ||
