I know somebody who can teach me the snatch. He recommends using straps that would help lower the weight down by easing up on the grip. Since I’m still new to OL’s, I think the power shrug would be a good lift for me.
I did power and hang cleans this past summer without bumper plates, but I don’t think they helped much just because I was very cautious with them and didn’t progress very far. More than anything I just want to get the 40 down, and get a higher vertical as I will start doing some jumps tomorrow.
