we used them during our preseason. the power versions of hte clean and snatch. we also did split jerks. we progressed from the hang version to a full power clean and snatch. it wsa gradual.

so i think it has its place, just like any other tool - as long as it can be implemented in a correct, safe manner that will get the athlete stronger and faster.

i feel i'm a lot stronger because of them. my squat has gone up a lot, and even at my weight, i'm a faster sprinter right now. though that needs its own work - my conditioning is not up to par, but that'll come with playing more rugby.

were now in-season, so were not doing all too much, but we do a couple of sets of hang snatches during our gym workout still. '

so like anything, its just a tool to be used, and there is always other tools out there in the toolbox
