I recently partnered with HLTH Code! They make a legit meal replacement shake that I've been using kind of a like "healthy gainer" to easily get in some more high quality calories and protein throughout the day. It's not overly sweet, and it tastes good even just mixed in water. If you need a way to get in some more easy calories to help recover from your training then be sure to check it out, and use my discount code at checkout for 15% off ENKIRIELITE

In performance training circles the Olympic lifts are viewed as the ultimate controversial paradox. They are coveted and revered for their ability to enhance power, improve rate of force development, and crank up nervous system activation to incredible new heights all of which are a huge boon for athleticism and performance enhancement. Yet simultaneously, they are often viewed as overly technical to the point of being damn near useless and also considered by many to be unnecessarily dangerous to perform for anyone but highly trained Olympic weightlifters.
The irony here is almost painful. But the fact of the matter is, context is an incredibly important aspect when considering any training method and the performance of the full Olympic lifts is no different. They ARE highly technical and take years upon years of consistent, frequent, and focused effort under the eyes of a watchful and knowledgeable weightlifting coach to truly master. They CAN be dangerous when performed with poor technique or using poor training protocols. And when they are performed at levels well below someone's ultimate potential, as would generally be the case with anyone who doesn't have at least several years of experience practicing them, they likely won't be able to create a sufficient training stimulus to drive any kind of meaningful performance adaptation in any sort of intermediate or advanced level athlete.
Enter the snatch grip high pull! In today's video I explain how the high pull allows you to derive pretty much ALL the benefits of the Olympic lifts, with NONE of the aforementioned drawbacks. I hope this video you helps you to understand the nuance of the Olympic lifts vs. some of their simplified variations a little bit better and how all of that fits into the context of performance training as opposed to. training for the actual sport of Olympic weightlifting.
