FAST AF! @luisjavierhd16 (67kg ?? ) with a blazing fast 140kg / 308lbs snatch! ATG Patrons can now watch the full session. Become a patron for as little as $1! Mosquera is a great example of the correct way to move quickly—with proper position and full extension! If you watch his entire training session you can see that no matter the weight on the bar he is ALWAYS finishing his pull. There is no cutting things short just to be fast here! It can be tempting to do so in an effort to look fast, and while that can feel good it feels better to get the weight overhead rather than lose it forward because you were trying to snatch at “ludicrous speed.” The lesson: be like Mosquera! Go as fast as your technique and strength allow, and no faster! In his case that just happens to be really, ridiculously fast… #snatch #olympicweightlifting #slowmotion

    I can snatch that fast but not with those coloured thingies on the end of the bar!! Impressive speed. This should be mandatory viewing for anyone who does not appreciate how quick Olympic lifters need to be.

    I love to see what he does outside the gym to get faster. I used to jump up the stairs. I could do 10 but I am getting older and forgetful. I am getting stronger and faster when I was in my teens as I approach in my sixties 😉

    It seems old Frank Rothwell site is also up but many 1960’s videos are gone (stolen).
