00:01let's take a closer look at the swing versus the snatch so up top is the swing you can see
00:07the weight is way out in front away from the hips as far as possible because I'm going to
00:11swing the weights back to great create some momentum so I can throw the weight up overhead
00:16on the bottom is going to be a snatch and you're going to see in a minute how easily I
00:22can get the
00:23arm tension to release from that snatch so I can split under the weight so on the top where I'm
00:31doing the swing I have swung the weights back essentially making them a lot heavier than 45
00:37pounds it's kind of like swinging a buckle a bucket of water around in your arm now you can make
00:42it
00:42heavier and heavier by using more and more momentum same thing is happening here I'm using momentum to
00:47throw the plates back it's a lot more stress and a grip it feels a lot heavier than it the
00:53bottom where I'm just pulling up the 45 pound plates and because of that I'm quickly and much
00:59more easy easier at getting the arm tension to release as you'll see in a second
01:06I would say I'm at max force production here on both lifts the swing up top the snatch on the
01:12bottom
01:12you can see at the bottom the heels are way off the ground I'm about to have both feet leave
01:17the ground
01:17yet you can see in the swings I'm not even close to moving anything off the feet
01:22or moving the feet off the ground at all and it's just a total different result by the force
01:29that's on the hands and me trying to transmit that force of the hands up with enough power so that
01:39I can
01:40release the tension on the arm so I can get that weightless feeling and it's just not going to happen
01:44with a swing as you can see look at that difference catching the weight in the snatch look how much
01:52lower I can get versus this swing I got to ride that out all the way I'm doing what I
01:57can by bowing
01:58the body trying to get myself as low as possible but there's just no way I'm going to squat under
02:02or
02:02split under I just can't release that tension from the arms whereas I you can see I easily could release
02:09the tension from the arms on the snatch now yes I understand that both positions are not the same
02:18I started with the plates on the outside of the feet with the snatch and between the legs with the
02:23swing but I can tell you that I'm definitely going to have to work harder to get that kind of
02:30force
02:30production on the swing that I can release the tension now you can see why I think you got to
02:37be faster and more explosive when trying to swing heavy weights overhead than on heavy snatches it's
02:45really a marked difference indeed
