Norik Vardanian shows another snatch variation he uses.
No Hook No Brush.
Mainly grip strength and keeping the bar close. It also helps with my speed as well.

This is just so heinously strong that I can’t even fathom it
wonder if he didn’t learn this from zygmunt while he was in the states? donny and glenn have both written about the no-hook snatch that zygmunt taught them.
I think what they do is no hook and no feet, while this is no hook and no brush but he moves his feet. (Please correct me if I’m wrong).
This is literally insane, there’s around 1cm of drop on the bar from it’s highest position.
What is (a/to) brush in this case?
bar touching hips
Looks like his father technique!
That is exactly what I was thinking.
Faster than every snatch I have ever been
And why is this beneficial? The “no brush”, I mean. Woulnd’t executing this may be potentially counterproductive to the Snatch (the competitive movement)?
In my experience it helps to improve the technique by using
variations that force you to do certain things. So for instance the
variation of the med-grip snatch forces you to do a nice second pull.
otherwise you will fail.
When you just practice the classical
version of the lifts you might not improve certain mistakes. Even when
they are pointed out, because you developed alternative approaches to
compensate for your technical flaws.
And the points he develops
with this variation he names himself above: “Mainly grip strength and
keeping the bar close. It also helps with my speed as well.”
Whether a variation is useful to you depends obviously on your technical flaws and the state of your training.
