Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) demonstrating a mighty impressive snatch support with 140kg/308lbs x4. I do believe this is hovering around double bodyweight for him.

For those of you wondering, snatch support and snatch balance are synonymous terms. Coach Wu prefers using the term support as it’s more descriptive of what he is looking for from the movement.

Balance implies dropping down into the hole and balancing the bar with the body whereas support reminds the athlete to connect the load with the legs first before descending down. The act of supporting the barbell this way also places the legs in a “ready state” to be able to move at will.
