You Overhead Squat WAY More Than You Snatch, So What’s the Problem? Written by Jared Enderton
For these athletes: Building a bigger snatch will ALWAYS lead to a bigger OHS, but building a bigger OHS will not necessarily lead to a bigger snatch at all. Let’s focus on staying right around those weights where our body starts to tell us to power snatch it and ride that line. We have to keep getting our body comfortable with the idea that it’s OK to be stretched in a dynamic environment with those loads. Focus on doing a LOT of snatch reps around that tipping point – don’t focus on overhead squatting in this case as it’s not giving you any carryover to your actual snatch!
