Power snatch

A 50 kg bar on a wide snatch grip pulled from the floor, driven up by a jump through the hips, knees and ankles, and caught locked out overhead in a quarter squat in one movement, then stood up. The first pull uses the deadlift solver; from mid-thigh the rig keyframes legs and bar and solves the trunk lean.

Faults

Faults grow with knee bend and apply to lifts standing on the floor. The fault check flags a knee caving more than 10° inside the line of the toes and a load split beyond 60/40. Knee cave shows best in the front camera.

Body

Femur changes keep standing height fixed by shortening or lengthening the torso. Longer femurs force more forward lean in any squat.

Effort and your quota

9.5/10 effort9.9fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 10 reps at 50 kg, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 271 legs points, 35 push points, 46 pull points.

Prime movers

Gluteus maximus, quadriceps, hamstrings, trapezius, deltoids, calves.

What to look for

  • Wide grip; the bar meets the hips at full extension.
  • Jump, then punch under the bar.
  • Lock the arms as the feet land.
How the model works, and its limits

One 3D skeleton drives both views. Segment lengths and widths are Winter's anthropometric ratios of height; segment masses and centre-of-mass positions follow Dempster's data. For free-standing lifts the whole-body angle is found numerically so the combined centre of mass of lifter and load sits over the middle of the foot. Arms and legs use two-link inverse kinematics with a pole direction. Rep timing follows a minimum-jerk profile.

Balance is quasi-static, so ballistic lifts are shown slowed down. Cable pull and pad support forces are not modelled. The spine is one rigid segment and joints have no range-of-motion limits or muscle forces.
