How to STOP Jumping Back on the Snatch
The backwards jump can be a tricky habit to shake, but once we understand the nature as to why it’s occurring, it becomes much more manageable.
If you’re throwing your shoulders back in the top pull phase of the lift, your momentum is going to be sent backward. The only way to land and recover from throwing yourself in that direction is to bring your feet with you when you land.
Not what we want to happen.
Instead, we want to drive our momentum upward to get the most force output into a vertical pull as possible. This not only will help us pull the bar even higher, but it’s going to keep our energy transfer mostly within the vertical plane, making it easy for us to keep our feet in roughly the same position, and also putting the bar directly overhead for a simple receive.
Just remember, your body is aiming your feet, so practice maintaining that vertical torso angle during your pulls to help drive this form point home.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
Happy training
