GLENN PENDLAY Q&A

Thought I’d cross post this here for anyone interested. Your man Jon posted about these posters, which are cool. I, of course, made my usual snide remark. The money goes to help these guys so I think it’s a good cause.

Here are the posters:

Interesting note: You use the term “third pull.” Some coaches have never heard of this term. I think it is a very appropriate term and a very real pull. My snatch has improved a bit since I started to aggressively pull myself under the bar. This is true even when doing a power snatch, although it’s more of a combination pulling under and pulling the bar up and back. Doing muscle snatches has helped reinforce this. I’m sure some coaches would disapprove of muscle snatches because the encourage pulling with the arms to a certain extent, but they work for me, and I’ve found that they encourage pulling with the arms when pulling with the arms is appropriate, i.e., during the third pull.
