Technique Tuesday
3 position sn**ches use different lengths of bar travel to cut off some elevation or bar height. They also reinforce good mechanics at different positions and help the athlete feel what is working to move the load at various stages of the lift. Over the three reps the athlete will have to work harder on pulling under and around the bar into the receiving position as bar height due to shorter travel decreases. Be careful not to rush the eccentric portions of the hang sn**ch reps to ensure the positions will match what we are using in full reps off the floor.
Working sets can be done from 60-80% depending on the athletes technical proficiency.

Technique Tuesday
Try these two pauses in split jerks to help timing, balance, and control for crispier jerks.
Pauses in the dip allow the athlete to control balance underfoot and support of the bar on the shoulders. It reinforces a strong upward drive for those that may have a tendency to dip shallow.
Pauses in the split force the athlete to establish a balanced position and ensure both legs are working to stabilize the load overhead and that it is properly stacked over the shoulder and hips. Putting time under tension here will make the position more readily accessible. Footwork should be consistent rep to rep.
Use pause in dip (2-3s) in your warm up weights up to 50% and pause in split (5s) at 60-80% to challenge the position.
