Friends,
I am plotting my course towards my strength/conditioning goals. I am very close to owning the Simple goal. I am hoping to glean some info from those with experience who have polished both the one armed swing and the snatch:
-How would you compare the two in terms of the practical daily life benefits and what the hell effects?
-What would your answer be to the question, "why snatch for cardiovascular conditioning/fat loss when I can just swing a heavier bell?"
-What has your experience been with the snatch and injuries to the upper extremity?
-Any other nuggets of wisdom comparing the two exercises?
I have read the late strongfirst blog post on the snatch vs the swing. I have also read Max Shanks dragondoor blog post on swinging to improve the snatch. I am familiar with Steve Maxwell's take on the snatch and injury. I am hoping for your practical experience from your training or your training of others. For me, I am wondering if the snatch movement is worth the possible risk when one armed swings offer so much at a safer price. Thank you so much for your comments!
