What % of your bodyweight is a good power snatch weight?

[FROGGBUSTER]

i usually look here for strength standards:

http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html

but it doesn't have power snatch listed, only power clean.

what would be beginner, intermediate, advanced, etc.?

and also, how about 1-arm DB snatch as well? (same question)

thanks guys.

In weightlifting the snatch is typically ~80% of the C&J.

Other than that, I would say an athlete (non-weightlifter) who power snatch body weight is doing well.

And that fact blows my mind .I sorta can grasp how c&j is done (and with practically no training can power clean 200 ) , but snatch... - I can barely snatch the bar, I can't grasp how to move anything approaching BW with it

Don't think of it as swinging the bar up, think of it as shrugging up and over your body.

How can you not snatch the bar?

Thanks -great vid .

I didnt say I cant (but it took me sometimes to get even to that -mainly because of my shoulder flexibility).

And actually today after watching vid I hang snatched 65 :) (lol I know ridiculously low weight but better than the bar!)
