bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2006/11/16, 05:34 PM I tried this...and its very uncordnated...I can't "rack" it so to speak over my head... I griped it like for a dl...exsept hands over....and tried to snatch clean it. I about killed my self...even with the 55lbs. So question should I just modify it to a "upright row" style clean....just extending it at the top at arms length? Or keep arms locked whole time? I'm trying to mimmic a "toss" for cheerleading.... Snatch help....but i don't hold the girls feet 3 1/2ft wide lol -------------- Get your bicep curling, cut off shirt, matching workout outfit wearing,flexing in mirror "toned" wanna-be ass , out of my squat rack! People don't reach thier true potental, only those who seek it.

Coach Boyle or whatever recommends close grip snatches, but if you've ever seen what his athletes consider a hang clean you'd realize he is the last person you want to take olympic lifting advice from. Cleans, regular snatches, and high pulls should be more than enough. -------------- Iron and chalk.
