Thanks

You've probably found the answer by now,but in case you haven't: The power variations mean catching the bar higher than you normally would. For a power clean you would pull the bar to the point that you only have to bend your knees slightly to receive the bar, as opposed to dropping your body down quickly into the bottom of a front squat. Same for the power snatch.

I thought maybe it was distance from the body.

I'll have Max come on here and answer that specifically but if I remember correctly its basically either 1 (bar trajectory is in a place that the lift can be made) or 0 (it isn't).

Matt Mullins Suppose H/F = 9. Add in the 1, and the lifter is lifting at 100% efficiency. If not, just 90%.

I think H and F are supposed to be close to the same number, which would make the result close to zero, then add a value between 0 and 1 for T, and the result will be between 0 and 1, closer to zero being the best. At least that's what I got from it.

You want to start a 'no feet' variation with your feet in the catch position.

Thanks for the reply. In this exercise, we would not be worried about the specificity of the pull but the trajectory of the bar at a lower weight to improve the motor pattern. So for example, intermediate lifter PR snatch is 110 kg, the 'no feet' variation would work up to a load of 40 - 55% of PR and the coach would watch for bar trajectory.

Time to Fixation exercises.

If you really want the perfect score to be 0, then you can make the formula (H - F)+T.

Henrik Gulyás the formula is correct 0 should be considered a perfect lift. Not 1 that is a Mispeak or an error in editing. The reason for making it + T is so we can later grade our technique by saying. If a lifter takes a step forward or back that adds 1 to the value of T or if they receive the bar with a pressout etc. that could be another point added. This way we could be more specific and identify if the technique is not flawless. Does that make sense?

Max Aita ahhh that makes sense now. I was under assumption 1 was good score: so yes, great formula!

Yes it looks like we made an error when editing the video. Thanks for spotting that.

The formula doesn't make sense to me. If H and F were exactly the same, and T is 0, then that would = 1. A score of 0 would mean that H was 0 which makes no sense. Example: H = 3 feet, F = 3 feet, T = 0, 3/3 + 0 = 1
