Hi,

I was just wondering what muscles are majorly involved in the the power snatch, snatch squat, hang clean, rack pull, power clean, and other powerlifts. I just got my summer strength and conditioning workout in the mail, and I recently semi injured my hamstrings and my doctor has told me not to do anything involving them with weights or sprinting. I feel screwed. Atleast for the next few weeks according to him. Do those exercises majorly involve the hamstrings???

What did you do to your hamstrings? Your hamstrings and glutes are powerful hip extensors. Snatches train triple extension so you may or may not have a problem. I would try it with light weight and if you feel pain stop and contact the people who wrote your training plan.

I'm not exactly sure what I did, I finished school and didn't do my leg lifts for a good 3 weeks , but I kept doing the drills and conditioning every other day of each other, and I don't think I rested enough, and by the 3rd or 4th week of continuous days like that and this paticular week I sprinted about 6 or 7 thousand yards between drills and conditioning and they were just extremely tight after that, so I rested a couple days and stretched , and then I went to go drills on monday and after I stretched and warmed up, I ususally Like to start out with a 40 yard dash, just to see how I'm moving along and after I came out of my stance, instant tightness so I stopped, and went to see the doctor. Tuesday I get the X-ray results and I have been in rehab for a good 3 weeks now, so I don't think it will be much longer, but I only have until Aug. 29, till school and football season arrive and where I'm going I can't have this slack time off crap, I neeed to be running, powerlifting and going as hard as I can goooo. I think If i contacted them and told them I had a hamstring problem that might be unacceptable.
