Hopping forward in a snatch or a clean is a pretty common problem. Here’s why I like this drill 👇🏻

1️⃣ Adding the resistance band helps you keep the lats engaged and forces you to pull the bar into you as you pull it off the floor 2️⃣ The hop can be created by letting your heels come off the ground early, or bringing your hips to the bar. The resistance band will help you focus on bringing the bar to the hip before you extend. If you go into your toes early you will fall forward

3️⃣ Since the band is pulling against you, you really have to keep your posterior engaged as you extend to prevent you from falling forward. 

4️⃣ This drill will really show you if you are getting out of balance in your pull. Ideally the bar will be balanced over mid foot as you extend. Anything outside of that and the band will pull you out of position. 

Sometimes you just need a few reps of a drill to help you feel the correct positions and engagement so you can apply them to your lift. Check out the improvements Steph made after trying this drill. 

Tag you gym buddy and ask the to hold the band for you 🏋🏻‍♀️👯
