Greg: The well known video of Vardanian totaling about 400 kg. while weighing only 82.5 seemed to show him not jumping and not moving his feet much, if at all. I tried this; you have to be super flexible, especially in snatch. But I sometimes get stuck to platform. My reason for trying to snatch and clean that way is this: it just seems one can drop quicker without moving feet and leaving the platform at all. The problem is--you still have to completely "unweight" and extend the body all the way like when you were jumping. Any thoughts on that theory? Joe Quinn
