If you're catching the snatch with your hips behind the bar, crashing forward, or muscling it up with your arms — the problem isn't your overhead position.

It's your pull timing between the knee and hip.

Most intermediate lifters rush the transition from first pull to second pull. They yank off the floor, lose back angle at the knee, and never reach a proper power position before extending. The result? A bar that goes forward, a lifter who chases it, and missed lifts that "felt heavy" even at 80%.

The Fix

You need to train the pull as its own skill — not just "the thing before the catch."

Inside Snatch Pull Academy, I break the pull into 4 phases and rebuild your timing from the ground up:

• Setup & Start Position — Where 50% of pull errors actually originate

• First Pull (Floor to Knee) — Controlled, back angle preserved

• Transition (Knee to Power Position) — The phase everyone rushes

• Second Pull (Triple Extension) — Explosive, vertical, automatic

Each phase has specific drills, common fault fixes, and a 4-week programming template.

If you're an intermediate lifter (snatching 70%+ of your best clean & jerk) and you want a pull that actually sets up a makeable lift — this is built for you.
