Here is how I use biomechanics and velocity-based tracking to perfect your foundational lifts—whether you are squatting, snatching, or deadlifting for performance. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A personal milestone of a 200kg trap bar deadlift. This lift is a fantastic tool for developing total body strength with less stress on the spine compared to a conventional deadlift.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ab3f483b-5a2b-4255-8ab5-080520a05b49) - [Video: Executing a 170kg sumo deadlift.

We use sensors to track bar velocity, which tells us if you are actually producing power or just grinding through fatigue. If the speed drops below your optimal zone, we adjust the load in real-time, ensuring you get the stimulus you need to improve on the field without burning out. Focusing on compound lifts is about building the force-vector efficiency required for field sports, not just raw strength. I prioritize Olympic lifting foundations—snatch, clean, and jerk—because they teach your nervous system to produce force rapidly. You will see exercises like offset single-leg deadlifts in my programming, which challenge core stability and balance beyond the sagittal plane. Velocity-Based Training (VBT) is the standard here. By monitoring the speed of the bar (m/s), we take the guesswork out of your training. This is how we objectively measure your progress in the gym, ensuring the work you put into a power clean or a back squat directly translates to your speed and agility on the field in Bengaluru. I program for the individual, not a generic template. We look at your movement screening, injury history, and the specific demands of your sport, then build a periodized block that ensures you peak when it counts. Whether you are prepping for a cricket tournament or managing a recurring knee issue, the programming adapts to you. ## About Snehit Rai I am Snehit, and I work with athletes who want to bridge the gap between potential and peak performance.
