Videos from Glenn Pendlay’s 2011 Coaching Seminar Edinburgh

May 29, 2013 By Gregor Winter

Here are some clips from a 2011 Glenn Pendlay weightlifting seminar.

By the way, if you are new, here are Glenn’s How to Snatch and How to Clean Tutorial Videos.

#1 discusses the importance of getting the bar “to the hip” in the snatch.



#2 discusses head position at the bottom of the snatch and some points on teaching/coaching philosophy.

#3 discusses a snatch learning progression from the below the knee position.

#4 discusses the double knee bend and how he addresses it as a coach.

    This is in the performance gym in Edinburgh, Pleasance, CSE for people wondering.

      I don’t think so.. It says University of Edinburgh in the background. It’s in Scotland.

        The CSE Pleasance is the sports centre for University of Edinburgh.

    Could someone please outline the perceived benefits of the “hitting” of the bar with the hips versus just sweeping it in (if that makes sense)? I learned the second style and am just curious.

      I wasn’t at this seminar, but it appears geared to teaching new/novice coaches how to coach the lifts to newbies. Glen wants to emphasize the “power position” where you want the bar in the hip crease for violent acceleration. With many newbs they let the bar come way out in front because they extend their hips with the bar too low (not waiting on the pull).

      Don’t hit CK. Keep the bar close. Unsure what sweeping means. All the top lifters have a tidy fluid movement and no significant “explosion” at the top of the pull. Full extension can be gained without this “bang”. My opinion but try both and you should feel one movement has a far more consistent catch position. At the end of the day all you want is the bar behind your head, locked out as often as you can. 3 white lights, good lift!
