KungFu Panda 🐼 , besides having the most adorable demeanour, has one of the best techniques I’ve ever seen. I’ll teach you about rhythm here. Every lifter has a rhythm and its super important and cannot be “copied”. Rhythm for weightlifting means, fully extending the legs and glutes, and then letting the looseness in the arms, transfer the movement to the barbell, and helps you get under the bar. The problem starts when people start chasing “pulling under” speed. They watch people with insane rhythm like Ince Izzet, Taner Sagir, Lidia Valentin, Valentin Hristov and try to copy that. Do that and you’ll sacrifice your barbell upward momentum. In the first video, as you can see it looks a bit awkward. This is because he had to rush to get under. He was just having an especially bad day that day. So coach seeing his rhythm go off, changed it to panda pulls instead. Btw that, was merely 130KG. In the second video, the rhythm is just nice. Full extension, and he let the flight of the barbell do the rest. As you can see, a much more appreciable snatch. Looks easier than the first although its 170KG on the bar. This is condoned by the coaches. It was super interesting to see the participants reactions when they began realising what the Chinese dictated as good technique. It was even more interesting when they were taught HOW Btw his 1RM? 177KG as told by him. 180KG as told by everyone else but him. #ilovemakingfunofhiseyes #theyresocute #hegetsbulliedbygirls
