First off I just want to say I am blessed to have great friends and connections where I was given all the material I need to build a platform. This is honestly a dream come true to have the equipment readily available to me, so I can lift at my convenience. Although I am working fulltime during the summer, I am still getting some great training in and here is another video if anyone wants to check it out. I also included a template of my workout in the description for anyone who is interested. Thanks!

Insane setup, nice lifting too.
I live in an apartment and never really thought I'd want to have a house (figured I'd prefer condo living), but now that I've gotten into O-lifting I have a dream to build my own home gym. Either that, or really far reaching -- get a 1,500 square foot warehouse somewhere and open my own gym. Call it "Crossfit" so I can charge people stupid amounts of money, don't ever do any Crossfit WODs, and just load the ****er up with sick platforms, bumpers, racks, prowlers/sleds, etc.
Would be insane.

I am only bout 2:20 into the video but I got a question and please dont think for a minute I'm questioning your methods at all cuz I am not in any way. What is the reason you do them heavy snatch type pulls before you actually snatch? Once again not questioning at all your methods just want to seriously know the answer. To me it would be exactly the opposite way I would personally design it but that dont mean ****.

I follow a Chinese program and it is never like this. It is almost always a snatch movement (full, power, or muscle) followed by a clean. I think it may end up like this once every couple months with the workout starting with 100% snatch deadlift. I was also just doing the pulls to a max to warm up for thr deadlift because I wanted too lol

the way you snatch pull up to and including 150 , you should be snatching that no prob honestly. thats how slow my snatches are coming up and thats how high my bar goes when i do it. very strong. i wouldnt be able to budge 160 off the ground if i tried to snatch pull it

I had a feeling this was going to be your exact answer but I just had to ask. Thanks for answering bro. I also like the idea of doing that once in awhile too. I think it can be very beneficial to try and do something heavy after hitting some volume or some rep type heavy chit. Not very often but maybe once ever month or so like you said.

I am no expert on Chinese periodization, but I will share some knowledge with you. The male chinese lifters go 2 weeks heavy followed by a light week (>70%). I believe that different gyms in China may have different periodization schemes such as 14 days on ~4 off (they have it all individualized and based on research, blood testing, etc.) The female Chinese lifters generally follow three weeks heavy and one week light (females do more volume and lower intensities and the week off correlates with their menstrual cycle). The programs that I follow are created by the new coach at LindenWood, Jianping Ma, and I had the privelage to recieve some coaching from him while he was at the University of Northern Iowa.
The heavy weeks usually look like this:
Mon. 85% - 90%
Tue. 80% - 85%;
Wed. 85% - 90%;
Thu. 80% - 85%,
Fri. 85% - 95%;
Sat. 85%
If anyone is interested in some of the programs feel free to comment with your email or private message me and I have no problem with sharing some with you.

Its funny, but the most ive snatched was 125 which was around 3-4 months ago. I can hit 120 easy and consistently, but my shoulders collapse under heavier weights like 125. I was thinking that snatch grip behind the neck push press and press should help, but do you have any other tips? This may also go along with my jerk being terrible (my weak shoulders). Overall, I am sure I can pull my self under those heavy weights, I just need stronger shoulders first so that I don't get injured. Once again, any tips on strengthening my shoulders will be greatly appreciated.

Nice bro
What all did you use to make the platform out of? I might try to make something like that, since I don't want to make something permanent since I will be moving sometime in the nearish future
I have stall mats, so I am talking about the woodBryan

what helped me a lot with this, as I was having the same problem (being able to pull a lot but not be able to catch and stabilize):
Snatch grip press behind neck in squat
Snatch thrusters
Snatch thruster into overhead squat
Snatch balances
And plain snatch push press/ press bth
Also, feel free to send me an email about those programs I'd love to take a look! Solutionzero212@hotmail.comSubscribe to The Strength Project :

I'd warmup with the presses behind neck in squat maybe once or twice a week on snatch days, and the push presses on power snat h days, and snatch balances on heavy snatch days. 3-4 times a week, sometimes changing it up with mpre/less volume and exercise selection depending on how I feel and what I think I would benefit most from
