It teaches you to finish with the arms. I was told that the arms are underutilized in weightlifting due to early teachings of using legs, hips, and keeping the arms loose. While this works for the first and second pull, afterward the bar must be continually pulled with the arms and actively put in place into the finishing position. My snatches have dramatically improved after muscle snatch work without hip contact.
No, it's ridiculously easy to add hip contact back into the snatch and replace the original positions. The pull is virtually identical. Also, even if it did mess with my pull a little bit, I'm not concerned as currently I'm in an extended strength phase. Technique will come quickly once my program starts to target the classic lifts again. Thanks for the comments!
Thanks man! Looks like you've made a ton of progress on your lifting. I actually remember meeting you back in Moorestown two summers ago. Keep it up!
cool exercise!

Nice man!
What is the main purpose of training no hip contact snatch?
Thanks for reply! Are you concerned at all about interfering with the motor pattern of your regular snatch?
oh haha, where do you train now?
