Snatch Chat Ep. 26 | Split Jerk, Bar Swing & Building Confidence Under Heavy Weights

Episode 26 of Snatch Chat is here and if you've ever questioned your split jerk foot position, watched your bar swing away from your body, or bottled it under a heavy lift, this one is for you. Coach Oates breaks down one of the most debated questions in the jerk, which leg goes back? The answer comes down to your strongest leg, and getting this wrong is silently costing you kilos. You'll also learn exactly why the bar swings during the second pull and the simple technique fix that brings it back in line, plus how to adjust your clean landing so the bar sits where it should every single rep.This episode also covers the difference between power snatch and full snatch and how using one can sharpen the other. Coach Oates shares his approach to pre-workout nutrition, how to handle a session when your warm-up feels off, and the cue that stops lifters rushing through their extension, one of the most common faults seen across all levels.The back half of the episode gets into the mental side of lifting: how to build real confidence under heavy weights and whether training three or four days a week is right for you. Practical, honest, and straight from the platform.New episodes of Snatch Chat drop regularly.
