Tumbling Warm-up
Stephane Rochet

"I've been dealing with a shoulder injury over the past year now. I had a multi-directional shoulder instability so I had my capsule tightened. It's been hard since having it scoped. I now have to deal with tendinitis in my triceps and biceps. Anyhow the point is, aside from having good and bad days with the tendinitis, I now can move weight over my head and if feels great to do so. I come to the Performance Menu for instruction on how to move weight over my head with efficient form. Learning how to listen to your body after you've had some physical changes is a learning experience. Going from no limitations to having to limit yourself is a challenge! Some days I can get the bar overhead others I have to leave it alone or just use my right arm! Thanks for all you do in providing information on your site it's really very helpful."

A bodyweight snatch is a great accomplishment for new weightlifters. Lighter weight athletes will have a considerably easier time with this (assuming that bodyweight is attached to a short frame). Send us video of your bodyweight snatch and win some free stuff from the store.
