Power clean and Power Snatch

GOWAR Posts: 361 Joined: 2001/10/24	2005/07/14, 02:10 AM Hi, On my summer workouts they want me to do power snatches, only I've never done that before, so I have been doing power cleans instead until I can talk to them or someone who can show me how the right way to do it. But until then, I was wondering what is the big difference, is one better than the other, what is different muscles that are being worked for each exercise???

They are great for athletic devolopment, because they teach your muscles to fire together. The main difference is in a power snatch, you drop to the hole, and keeping arms extended, you catch the weight overhead in a sort of military press fashion. See if you can find the post about links to how to do exercises, till then Ill see if I can find it and bump it for you. -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.
