[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Split Snatch (Page 1 of 2)

Much tougher than your regular old snatch.

Quoted:
Is that only 150lbs? I'd expect a bit more from a gym rat. If he's like some of the other hard-core Crossfit people Ive met, he can do it for like an hour, instead of ten reps and done. Some of those people have borderline-inhuman stamina, even if their ultimate strength isn't that extraordinary. |

They are bumper plates. Explain this like you are talking to someone who has no clue WTF that means, because I don't. 
My Olympic plates are simple cast iron full of hate and vengeance for weakness.

They are covered in rubber so you can drop the bar without damaging the weights. Just makes 'em a lot bigger, so it could look like more weight. There is a 45, a 25, and either one or two 2.5s on each side. |

Quoted: Quoted: Looks like a lot can potentially go wrong with that lift. Seems unsafe. The snatch is serious business my friend. A guy in my high school gym class out did himself doing this and tore his bladder. His urethra tore off it and filled his ballzak with piss. I shit you not. |

She's a trooper! And what kind of plates are those that that was 400lbs? And on OP...195 split snatch...i'm intrigued. Need video of execution...the end looks painful as hell. |
 Around 470lbs... |
