To get the proper grip, stand with the bar at arms’ length and adjust your hands until the bar is in the crease of your hips. This is not the correct bar position and grip width. If your grip on the bar has the bar touching your pubic bone when holding the bar at arms’ length in a standing position, try to take a guess at what’s going to happen when you snatch. The great thing is that there are really only two things you need to do to make this happen, one of which is the simplest thing in the world, and the other of which may take you some practice and training. So let’s get this straight: The only sensible solution to avoiding the pain of hitting your pubic bone when you snatch is to stop hitting your pubic bone when you snatch. What I tell you below will have nothing to do with being less aggressive or using less hip extension.
There is NO reason you can’t be the most powerful, violent, hip-dominant lifter in the world and STILL not smash your pubic bone with the bar. I shouldn’t have to say any more on that.īut I have such explosive hips! I’m too powerful to not hit it hard and make it hurt! Absolutely missing the point. More importantly… you’re literally wearing padded shorts. That’s akin to being upset that it hurts every time you hit yourself in the head with a hammer and deciding the best solution is to wear a helmet. And wearing snatch diapers is even worse. I’ve heard a surprising range of advice regarding this problem, and fascinatingly enough, a great deal of it isn’t the only suggestion that makes any sense at all: avoid hitting your pubic bone in the first place.īeing tougher and just dealing with it is a stupid plan. Not many things kill your interest in snatching as quickly as smashing your pubic bone with the bar.
