    is that when she fights back?
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    You are confusing me. I was thinking that all snatches were of the split style.

    Yeah, the ballistic lifts do all have dirty names.

    You've got your Jerks and (of course) the Snatch. When your done with those two you've got to Clean.

    god i'm corny

    Excellent work.
    I disagree with Scott, I prefer and nicely trimmed "airstrip".

    Who's Ron and how did he get here? What are you guys talking about? I thought the snatch article was pretty well laid out. It had some holes in it but what do you expect from a snatch article.....

    I'm sorry, but any snatch article with more than one hole is just wrong.
    Unless of course you are dealing with the areas around the snatch.

    nice clip and a nice exercise but a serious question, how does exploding your back leg backwards whilst throwing an arm over head somehow more sports specific to mma than any other lift?

    personally if i want a specific unilateral lift done like a double leg id go with martin rooneys lunge variation where you set the squat rack up with a barbell on the pins at a low hight, you then level change penetrate into the squat rack and under the bar catch it in your elbows and explode upwards, this has forward momentum and a lifting component from a dead start, which is much more specific to MMA and grappling

    or id just powerlift then train my takedowns, not saying this method is bad, just cant see it as more useful than anything else

    I think Mike Mahler has this particular snatch on his Kettlebells for MMA dvd.

    I'm just getting started in this area, but this looks good. I'll probably test it out.
