Greg,
I have noticed that you wear what appears to be lifting straps in the snatch pull video, my two questions are
1. are you wearing straps?
2. and if so, when should you wear them?
Thanks in advance and love the program and all your help

1. Yes
2. During all pulls and deadlifts; usually during power snatches and muscle snatches; during hang snatches with multiple reps; during some block work. Basically anything where grip/hand pain would limit performance and grip work is not necessary. |

Yea, Dave just snatched his body weight yesterday. Quite an accomplishment considering he's been stuck at 120# for quite some time. His 6# PR was pretty impressive. |

Greg,
When using the straps do you use a regular grip instead of the hook grip? |

John -
Yes. You want to use as loose of a grip as you can as long as your hand position is the same. |

hey greg,
could you please clarify the role of coming off on the toes during the 2nd pull? after looking at various videos, it seems like a lot of people come off of there heels before the hips fully extend. e.g. http://www.mikesgym.org/wod/images/rybakou187_th.jpg
i always thought that the plantarflexion of the ankle only occured as a continuation of the complete extension of the hips and knees, and doing it prematurely would dampen the power exerted on the bar not dissimilar to pulling with bent arms.
i also noticed that other successful lifters pull without ever lifting their heels, moving noiselessly to the squat stance. |

Thanks |

I think the contrast plunges are alternating hot and cold baths. |

Dan -
Some people's ankles will begin extending during the scoop. Sometimes it's a technical style, and sometimes it's a technical error - depends on what your intention is. I prefer the feet to stay flat as long as possible. |

Greg,
I've been looking all over for some sort of Strength Standards for the Snatch and C&J (Novice, Intermediate,Advanced)similar to Rippetoe's SS Standards. Do you have or know where I can find something similar? My BW is 83kg if that helps
Thanks Again -Eric |

Never seen anything like that. I would say for a beginner, something along the lines of 100% BW snatch and 125% BW CJ. |
