Thank for continuing to consistently provide quality content on your channel. I am recovering from ACL surgery, so I can't really lift at the moment, but I still watch and appreciate all you do.
And this is another reason why I like you so much. You address all points within the athlete. There is such a few coaches able to recognize when the athlete missed because of psychological issues like a get to pull under the bar. I can talk for myself I am talented master in age athlete who chooses WL at advanced age as a hobby/sport. Although I had a Coach who addressed technical matters was missing every time because of my fear to pull under. Then I took more risk and fell confidence but man this video is what I need in order to work on my goal. Thank you so much for sharing this! How can I get in contact with you to tentatively build a program?
I don't do individual coaching or programming for anyone outside my national/international team. I have 60+ programs here - www.catalystathletics.com/olympic-weightlifting-workouts/training-programs/ And I coach online groups also - www.catalystathletics.com/olympic-weightlifting-teams/
I’ve been oly lifting for the last 4 months, and I never would have anticipated this, but I have a much bigger mental block with pulling under cleans than I do with snatches. I’m guessing it’s because I subconsciously feel like I can bail more quickly and safely out of a snatch than I can a clean because of how close the bar is to my knees
Great video! I love the way you make the basic bacon and eggs taste great and different every time. I know you sadly had the the granddaddy of injuries in the SLAP tear. I’m 7 weeks post op from 3mm tear repair of my rotator cuff. What should I expect as I proceed forward with PT as far strength and progress. I’m 57 and I’m in great shape. Thanks
I had worse than SLAP - full thickness supraspinatus tear and labrum torn almost all the way around done during a dislocation. You can read about my experience here - www.catalystathletics.com/article/1924/Shoulder-Dislocation-Rehabilitation-for-Weightlifting/
this is by far my biggest problem! I can do a snatch high pull almost locking it out with 120 but snatch is still 90 and probably a power ! But am I also old,fat and slow, so that might be a bigger factor
What would you recommend for someone, who has no issues getting under a snatch, but struggles with getting under a clean, besides universal tips from this video?
