Nice vids. <br />I have really long hands and short torso, so when i take the widest possible grip (near the bumper plates) the bar is still on the pubic bone and, as you said, it should be a bit higher where the belt is. How to correct that?Valeri Hristovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193794428041197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976352465479883471.post-66139464099895989052012-09-04T07:14:56.389-07:002012-09-04T07:14:56.389-07:00Hi Jon, when you mentioned hiting above the bone r...Hi Jon, when you mentioned hiting above the bone right where your belt would go, were you actually referring to the area where my belt buckle would be, as in to hit it "ON" the area itself? or..did you mean the area above the belt buckle.<br /><br />Thanks.Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492211469129961131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976352465479883471.post-66188601477818953072012-02-17T04:41:11.484-08:002012-02-17T04:41:11.484-08:00the shins will always be slightly more inclined wh...the shins will always be slightly more inclined when you start at the knee as opposed to starting on the floor because they haven't had the chance to be driven back yet.<br /><br />Great video Jon when is part three?<br /><br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258384043679778654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976352465479883471.post-61297849861707054112012-02-07T13:48:04.083-08:002012-02-07T13:48:04.083-08:00I am sorry grant I am not getting your question. ...I am sorry grant I am not getting your question. the shins should be the same on both, I apologize if my shins were slightly at an angle when I lowered the bar. But It really dosn't matter if your shins are slightly at an angle or not, just as long as you are making the lift. every athlete is going to be slightly different. I hope this helped answer your question.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007998768378007607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976352465479883471.post-24317378664993145222012-02-07T10:03:56.836-08:002012-02-07T10:03:56.836-08:00Why is it that when you do the lift from the floor...Why is it that when you do the lift from the floor, when the bar is at the knees, your shins are vertical. However, when you are demonstrating this hit and catch drill you lower the bar to the knees the shins are at an angle? Which position is the correct position to be in?Grant Gardishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171727528175974815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976352465479883471.post-7450083870088686162012-02-05T23:53:19.670-08:002012-02-05T23:53:19.670-08:00You are a great teacher Jon!

It seems as if, going by this drill and video on Coach Pendlay's blog, that I'd be better starting with my shoulder over the bar and then moving the bar back as I lift. Rather than start with the bar back. That should help me get my knees back more, right? <br /><br />I need to be snatching more than Jacob Tsypkin, he has recently stolen a 5kg lead in the snatch. This is unacceptable! :)<br /><br />I can't wait to see the third installment!osattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818136065463313315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976352465479883471.post-70614830420759076762012-02-04T06:54:40.690-08:002012-02-04T06:54:40.690-08:00Thank you for the reply Jon!

But no matter what its going to hurt for the first few months, but I promise it will go away after a while. It just becomes numb after a while. lol . here are a few things that could help you hit higher and or not hurt as much. <br /><br />A. take your grip out a little bit.<br />b. stay over the bar longer on the pull!<br />c. push the bar harder into your hips with your arms. for some reason the harder you bring the bar into you the less it hurts, if you are throwing your hips into the bar than that kills. maybe it has something to do with the osolation of the force from you slamming into your hips more that dosnt hurt as much.<br />d. just keep at it and take hot baths. <br /><br />hope this helps my friend, thanks for the question! attitude salute!!!<br /><br />Jon NorthAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007998768378007607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976352465479883471.post-88827819829207930002012-02-03T16:41:40.466-08:002012-02-03T16:41:40.466-08:00One question Jon.

Cause my pubic bone hates me right now after the last 2 snatch session I've had.
