1
Let's take a look at one of the more neglected training exercises.
2
Snatch Press in Bottom Position Snatch presses in bottom can help address a number of problems.
3
If you have a weak overhead position, poor shoulder mobility, trouble getting into a bottom, problems rushing out of the bottom, or all of the above, snatch presses can help.
4
Ideally, you'll want to work with a coach to figure out why you have these problems and how to incorporate this exercise.
5
Assuming you've addressed those issues, here are some things to keep in mind when performing snatch presses in the bottom.
6
In the squat position, you want to make sure the weight is on the entire foot, with a bias toward the midfoot or front of the heel.
7
For a lot of people, this means relaxing the hips and getting comfortable in the bottom.
8
Guo loosens up a bit on her earlier sets, which you can see here, but note she's also doing these after a squat and jerk session, so she's not starting cold.
9
If you feel the weight tending toward the front of the foot, you want to resettle until the weight is over the whole foot.
10
There is no way to be stable with weight overhead if you're on your toes.
11
Getting comfortable in the bottom if you're using these specifically to work on that position can seem like a catch-22, but there are workarounds.
12
One is to only go as low as you can while maintaining proper weight distribution on the feet.
13
With time, your position will probably get lower and lower.
14
If your mobility prevents even that, then start by doing these sitting on a bench or a stack of plates.
15
As you get comfortable, you can lower the bench or remove plates until you feel safe doing the move unsupported.
16
While the hips need to be relatively relaxed to allow for a nice deep squat, you want the torso and upper body to be upright and rigid.
17
Think about bracing the core and maintaining the same torso angle throughout the entire range of motion, from the initial press to the lockout to lowering the weight.
18
The elbows should stay almost directly under the bar the entire time Your mobility will determine the extent to which this is possible, but consider working on that if you struggle with it.
19
At the top, make sure you're actively pushing up with the upper back and shoulders.
20
This last little bit can make all the difference.
21
Part of the challenge here is being active and forceful through the torso and shoulders without tightening the hips or driving the legs.
22
Guo makes it look easy, but it is not.
23
When the bar is overhead, the question of internal versus external rotation of the shoulders becomes really apparent.
24
Wars have been started over less.
25
Ultimately, you want to do what is stable and secure with weight overhead.
26
That said, every international coach I've talked to has supported internal rotation.
27
I would suggest that for most lifters, you try a little internal rotation while pushing the head forward.
28
Ideally, you have the mobility to move through a range of internal and external rotation.
29
On the lighter weights, Guo does this explicitly.
30
You can see her going through this motion with the bar in particular.
31
Whatever you do, the position of the weight is clear.
32
It needs to be back, behind the ears, over the big muscles of the upper back and shoulders, fully supported over the midfoot or front of the heel.
33
And finally, when you stand up, stand up like it's a PR snatch.
34
Guo gets up from this 40 kilos as though it were 140 kilos.
35
She's pushing up on the bar, her torso is tight, and she's driving the legs through the midfoot and heel.
36
That's it.
37
Whatever you do, focus on the movement and the positions.
38
If you feel you're drifting too far from Guo's platonic ideal form, lower the weight and get back on track.
39
Hope you enjoyed this video.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
