@@SquatUniversity You are doing a great job Dr and we totally understand that you shooting many videos a day. Please keep educating us. your channel is the best.
Depends on your body proportions more than if you’re tall or short. If you are like me and have way longer legs than torso, the only thing you can really do is widen your starting stance. Like wider than you think it should be. Drive your knees outwards during the pull and the wide stance will do the rest. Try not to just copy someone’s form that you see online. Try a few things until you find something that feels smooth and takes the least amount of thought
Chad and I actually just came out with our first program together: marketplace.trainheroic.com/workout-plan/program/vaughn-program-1626381817?attrib=547878-aff-squatu
firstly: I can get behind tip 2 and 3 and believe they are useful. But I think doing your lifts barefoot makes no sense. Your starting position and your pulling position change because you dont have the elevation of the heel and why trying to get a feedback you will not have later? You basically make repetitions in a position you dont lift in and look for sensory feedback you will not get. I am not against warming up barefoot for the squat, but i dont see any sense in doing the lifts. secondly: when you did your cleans you extreamly bang your hips against the bar and cut your extensions extremly short. You always talk about perfect technique and it´s importance so shouldn´t you focus on good extensions in the warm ups?
Just try it. You aren't going to be reinforcing some type of bad form by doin light warm-up reps without wl shoes on. I've been doing it for sometime now, and then doing almost every other exercise (as in accessory movements, not working sets in sn or c&j) completely barefoot. I have seen nothing but improvement in mobility, and even some technique changes that weren't exactly an improvement perse, but they did make my movements much more effective. As for your second comment, your pull will be "different" at 50 percent than it will at 90 percent. It is not a bad thing.
1) The idea is to help improve your sense of balance and foot stability before putting shoes on. Even though the position is not the exact same it's still very beneficial with light weight. 2) These lifts were performed without a warm up in the middle of shooting 12 other videos so I was a little stiff. Yes the technique was not perfect. BUT I want people to also realize - I'm not telling people to stress about moving perfectly. We want to move well before lifting heavier - working towards perfection but not holding yourself back because it's not 100% perfect. But had this been a workout - I would have looked at my extension before going up (that's why I'm also a big fan of filming yourself before going up so you can check your technique).
@@SquatUniversity at 2) fair enough at 1) wouldnt OHS with weightlifting shoes be more beneficial, because as i said, with shoes your position changes and your (sense of ) balance is different than without shoes?
@@chrismanich3063 idk why weightlifters think that as soon as they do anything remotely different during a snatch or c and j that all their technique will fall apart. Dude, just try it. If you don’t like it don’t ever do it again. It isn’t that big of a deal.
I have always struggled with Olympic lifts, I’m pretty strong In the powerlifts but I can’t even powerclean a fair bit under my body weight. Is there one fundamental glaring mistake people make? The only thing I can think is that I’m not shrugging and I’m kind of trying to just row it really high. On top of this maybe not pulling myself under? Any ideas, please help
I've only begun working on Olympic lifts for a little less than a year so I'm no expert. You could try working on hang clean high pulls to help reinforce the shrug and getting the bar higher, those have helped me. I'm struggling with the third pull myself. I haven't gotten the right feel for it yet and because it hasn't clicked my practice doesn't seem to be improving much since I continue to perform that part of it incorrectly. The practice has helped some because I was at a plateau for a while and just this week was able to break through it, I can't help but think I'm progressing slower than I could if I was actually doing the third pull correctly.
@@kristawaller5344 hey thanks for the reply, here’s a little more context which is really confusing to me. But I’ve power cleaned from the hip more than i can do from the floor 🤨 I’m wondering if the transition between both pulls is off, I might start from the beginning and learn how to full clean from the hip then lower and lower hang or something
