Front squats for me. I feel very uncomfortable throughout the exercise, particularly taking my 3 steps back from the rack. I almost fell the first time I tried front squats which scared the hell out of me, so that probably has something to do with it. I keep doing them though because I really feel it when I'm done.


What exercise is the most technically difficult for you?

Snatch, I pretty much gave up on that.

The clean and jerk. I haven't attempted the snatch yet!

The jerk is fairly easy. The clean is another couple notches up the ladder in terms of difficulty. Then comes the snatch on a whole different level. Good luck.

I can actually do a proper clean and jerk oddly enough. Although admittedly I've never gone really heavy, so maybe that doesn't count. I mostly do it for for sets of 20+, and it doubles for cardio. Never tried a snatch though, to be totally honest not really sure what it is. I'll Google it.:)

Just about any Gymnast ex that includes Rings or balancing moves.

I'm still working on the form for just the power variants of the clean and the snatch. My footwork is bad on the split jerk too. :blank:

Full snatch, pretty tough.

Of the exercises that I have done, there are a few that are really tricky. Here are some of them:

Single leg barbell clean
Standing military press on single leg
Clean on inverted bosu
Lunge with front foot on exercise ball
Single stiff leg deadlift with dumbell curl and press on inverted bosu
Lunge deadlift on two inverted bosus
Lunge with twist and dumbell press on two bosus

I haven't tried barbell snatches of any significance so that might be trickier.

Taking a drink of beer while playing on stage and tuning at the same time..without missing a lick.:lol:

Honestly,it took me years to squat correctly.

For me its the Romanian Deadlift, and I still can't activate by hamstrings as much as I would like! :(

I found front squats, hang cleans and RDLs quite easy to get to grips with, but the hang snatch really screwed me over. I was trying to nail the form for 4 weeks but never really got it right. Maybe I don't have the core strength yet to perform it correctly? :confused:

If you can do jerks or overhead presses then that's probably not the problem.

Single legged DB RDL's, using one DB.

Either cleans or overhead squats.

snatch [...] I'll Google it.:)
:eek: Be sure not to do this at work. :lol:

Yeah, overhead squats bring the suck more than anything else I've tried.

:eek: Be sure not to do this at work. :lol:
