hang snatch is in one motion...hand clean is when you lift to your shoulders than push upm in 2 motions...
o lifts are great and they do work everything as well making actaully more explosive and stronger in real life/sport...
who's teaching you? technique is more important than the wt for these |

| Exactly. Technique over weight always. Otherwise injury risk is greatly increased. |

| Yes you can. I'm 4 weeks into a sticky elbow from bad form on a heavy snatch. |

o lifts are all about leverage and sticking points and the correct technique eliminates any weak links in the chain...these weak lionks are the injury prone one's if your not doing them right plus the ballistic (quick) action required to do them
stick with what you know although I've taught myself but i wouldn't suggest you do the same |
