Weightlifting coaches are constantly on the hunt for a test that can predict maximal snatch. The German weightlifting team is no different. In this interview, Dr Ingo Sandau walks us through the test development and how it was used over 9 months in a sample of elite male German weightlifters.
Ingo Sandau is the head of the Strength and Power Department at the Institute for Applied Training Science in Leipzig, Germany. He has 12 of experience as a researcher for the German weightlifting team.
Enjoy!
