1.If you are an athlete and your performance is more important than your lifting numbers,what is your Power Snatch to Bench Press ratio? Do you snatch more than you benchpress or vice versa?
2.Do you spend more time & effort performing snatch or benchpressing?
3.If atlete A power snatch 200 lbs. and benches 150 lbs. and atlete B power snatch 150 lb. and benches 300 lbs.,which one is sprinting faster,jumping higher or throwing harder?
ā¦Kay, Iāll keep the trolling with a minimumā¦ no, Iāll just stop trolling. I made a deal with Mod Brian.

It really is difficult to have a snatch so efficient to the point where you actually snatch more than you bench press. I believe Reza had a 460+ pound snatch, and his bench press is 480+ poundsā¦ Consider the years he spent specializing with the olympic lifts, and yet, hasnāt had a snatch that is bigger than his bench press goes to show how difficult it really is to raise your snatch to the point where it exceeds your bench press.

Neither. I front squat alot.

ATHLETE A will be a more explosive athlete overall. The power snatch involves the triple extension in your lower body, which is important with TONS of sports.

(random stuff that i just wanna say) All that really matters in the end is how much you can squatā¦
Specificity of training.
Look up hammer throwingā¦I doubt Sedykh could bench more than a hundred kilos. Power cleaned 160 (although seldom trained power clean). Koji Murofushi power snatched 1371/2 and again I guarantee he cannot bench 120kg.
If you want a snatch bigger than your bench do snatches and no pressing movesā¦works every timeā¦
and as for āall that ā¦how much you squat.ā Hal Connolly won the 56 hammer, and in the 60s squatted over 300kgs, both Sedekh and Murofushi have best squats of 245 and 240 respectively throw around 15m farther.
Hal was strong but as Sedykh always says " not strong in weight room - strong in hammer
and general advice look up Anatoly Bondarchuck and his view of congruate training - block periodisation - right now almost all world class throwers are doing some version of itā¦
and while on that topic look up Udo Beyer, give you another perspective on āolympic lifters are the strongestā¦ā
and I enjoy your stuff -

Specificity of training for sprinting and jumping is high power production.It includes power snatch.Power snatch is useful tool for that purpose.
Building a big power snatch compared to your body weight will make your sprint times better and your jumps bigger & higher.
Of course,you should have sprint and jump training as primary training and weight room training to supplement it.
Stay strong!
345 lb. Power Snatch
345 lb. Close-grip Bench Press
One arm-speed snatch 100 lb. dumbell
Power snatch is the King!!!
Fuck the bench press! Cut your bench to pieces and use it like firewood for barbacue!
Stand up and lift some weight from ground above your head!
But thats just my opinion!
Stay strong!
Some great snatching videos
Great inspiration!
Look at this video
I respect these guys.If you are bench press fanatic and bench press is your thingā¦cool! Stick to that! Do your thing! But for athletes in traditional sports who need to be lower-body dominant,this is not way to go.
They should use bench press sparingly and focus efforts into power snatch.There is only a limited amount of energy,concentation,recuperative ability in athletes bodies.They should do far more snatching and less benching then they are doing right now.
Stay strong!
Look at this
48 years old
100 kg easy power snatch
Power snatch 100 kg @ 73 kg bw
Snatch 115 kg at 72 kg bw ā¦same guy ā¦great power!!!
Snatch training
Better to substitute this
with this
Kara Bohigian Standing Military Press - YouTube (RESPECT for the lady in the video)
or better this
for pressing power
The real,functional and athletic pressing power

Depends on the athlete. Lots of sprinters donāt use any olympic lifts, but do bench and still run insane times.
do what you want, SFW, WS4SB3.
