Unlock Perfect Technique with the Vardanian Sn**ch!⁠
⁠
The Vardanian Sn**ch—a variation of the Sn**ch in which the hook grip, bar contact, and foot movement are eliminated—helps build an efficient and technically precise Sn**ch technique. By eliminating these key elements, you can develop better timing, more fluid movement, and a straighter bar path.⁠
⁠
Why incorporate the Vardanian Sn**ch?⁠
⁠
No Hook Grip: ⁠
⁠
Removing the hook grip forces lifters to rely less on the violent hip extension in the explosion and emphasizes using the upper body in the final extension. This combo improves the bar path and reduces the likelihood of swinging the bar out with the hips.⁠
⁠
No Foot Movement: ⁠
⁠
By keeping their feet flat on the floor, athletes can focus on a full, controlled extension. This allows them to stay connected to the floor longer and avoid premature movement that can disrupt balance and timing.⁠
⁠
No Contact: ⁠
⁠
Without the bar contacting the hips, the lifter is forced to continue accelerating the barbell with the use of the legs and upper body together. Encouraging a straighter, more efficient movement.⁠
⁠
This powerful variation can be easily programmed into lighter technique days or used as a primer before heavier Sn**ch sessions. Build better technique and master the movement with this exercise, used by legendary lifters like Norik Vardanian.⁠

Barbell Trajectory in the Sn**ch: How It Changes Over Time⁠
⁠
As athletes progress through a training macrocycle, their barbell trajectory in the sn**ch changes! 📈 A study analyzed bar height and speed across training phases and weight classes. Athletes pulled the bar higher in competition phases compared to preparatory phases, but catch height remained consistent. 💥 The takeaway? Technique stabilizes during competition, while variability is seen in the preparatory phase due to fatigue.⁠

Have you listened to the Coachlogik podcast with Max and Josh?

A new episode drops TOMORROW so tonight is the perfect night to catch up (plus the last episode was great, if you ask us).

Head to the stories for the link straight to the last episode.

Views from today's chat in just one hour!

Dr. Hayden Pritchard joins Max and Josh to chat LIVE at 12pm PST/3pm EST in the Coachlogik Mentorship. They'll be discussing discuss the principles of developing maximal strength, the mechanisms behind getting strong and the role of tapering to express performance.

Very few people understand the research around this topic, let alone conduct it, so we are incredibly privileged and excited to have Dr. Pritchard join us! (And check out a few previews of some of the slides from today's chat.)

TOMORROW: FRIDAY 4/12

Join us at 12pm PST/3pm EST for our guest speaker Dr. Hayden Pritchard inside the Coachlogik Mentorship.

Hayden Pritchard earned his PhD from Auckland University of Technology where he studied tapering strategies to enhance maximal strength. Alongside researching various aspects of performance in strength sports, he’s competed in multiple IPF World Championships.

We’ll discuss the principles of developing maximal strength, the mechanisms behind getting strong and the role of tapering to express performance.
