Having difficulty staying patient over the bar? Not sure what that even feels like or need another way to develop that back strength? Check out this little nugget from Max Aita (@mxaita) of Max’s Gym: the straight/stiff-leg snatch.

Used as a complimentary component to a more robust weightlifting protocol, give this piece a try for a 3-4 week block starting at ~70% of your 1RM snatch for 4-5 sets of 2 and build up towards 80% (or above if your skill and strength allow).

Take a before and after video of your snatch and tag #FBBMG (on Instagram) to show us your results! I will select athletes at random and drop some constructive feedback about their lifts.
