Literally The BEST video on RU-vid breaking down the terminology and techniques of Olympic lifts into one video. Beautiful summary. Thanks brother! All of your videos are very helpful when I'm expanding my knowledge during my studies 👊🏼
This was fantastic! I'm looking to get my football athletes to learn how to clean, push press, and snatch effectively this off-season so this video is at the top of my re-watch list!
Very informative. Thank you for posting this. Not a young man anymore, but recently interested in this during the pandemic with all the gyms shutting down, trying to replicate as many exercises at home as I can. Finding out there's a lot I don't know! Never too late to learn though!
This is the most helpful breakdown of olympic lift terminology that I've watched (out of at least 100 videos I've watched so far.) Really grateful for this content! O-H...
For those taking the CSCS practical, take pages full of notes on each of these movements! Break down into cues, study and be able to identify and train your mind how to and what to look for in each stage. Essential to pass the test. Thanks Matt
Thanks for the informative and awesome video, I practice body building never done or seen anyone doing it in my health club saw it in one video and came to learn it here indeed very well explained.
This is great. Although I've been doing kettlebell, clean & press, and snatches for years, I'm just now learning the barbell clean and snatch. Starting with the bar to learn technique, then I'll slowly add weight. Thanks for a fantastic video!
you guys arwe the most legit youtube kinestetic movement and overall training folks out there... Appreciated. keep on rocking and hopefully we can eliminate all the bullhitto out there. Doing the same myself so I guess I am doing something right;) have a good one
Full hip extension is needed before full knee extension. Chin needs to be tucked back, head tilled up so that to look straight ahead you are looking down the bridge of your nose during dip and drive. Need foot work between pull and catch. Will need a wider base to maintain up right torso.
split Push Jerk looks mostly a stability reason thing. analyzing this: what you can also see is that compared to a Push Jerk 10:21 without a split. the lower back gets lesser bent in a curve i guess this avoids injuring the spine more 10:41 (what i also noticed in difference is that the split makes a kind of gun shooting sounding due to hitting the floor that hard with your feet, this is a cool showy side effect for better explosive force as well) could be they invented it this way cause it made it easier for especially higher weights at certain point where it was no longer possible to do it the old way. splitting the leg was enabling increasing the weight further that could be lifted therefore. the higher the weight the more difficult it gets to even push it that far up. so it seems to add to stability therefore as well. by splitting the legs. it should add to more pushing power as well cause i will land in a more stable position to support the weight better that increases also confidence in my own lifting power. knowing that alone improves how good i can be at this lift cause it reduces fear of failing. so it shows the advantage that version of it also has. just walking from lifted up position then back into a normal position is then not a much difficult thing to do, cause the weight is already above the crucial difficult lifting points floating in the air and i just have to focus on isometric strength from there on. easier to do that than lifiting up into the position i want to have it as it seems. interesting to see all those different parts of a lift as well. thx for sharing this!
Very good demonstrations, I know that these are power exercises.However, how do you calculate the weight that the athlete must lift during these power sessions?
No way to put this delicately so here goes... How do you go through the transitions without absolutely crushing your junk? Even with compression gear, etc, what do you do if you can't drag the bar across/up to ASIS?
That’s probably to get the stretch shortening cycle involved with the hamstrings. The bar won’t typically rise off the ground until their hips go up a little but as they are lifting the hips up out of the hole the hamstrings are put on stretch and can potentially contribute more to the lift.
The snatch is one of the worst exercises in the world i mean dude the Hell? First your going to dead lift then thrown weight do a jump squat into a pose position with the weight bar over your head i mean no one that not an olympic athlete thats getting paid should be doing this exercise.
I'm happy to admit that we're not professional weightlifters. This is an educational video to understand the phases lifts, terminology, and general cueing recommendations. The culture of elite weightlifting makes it difficult for a beginner to learn because people like yourself criticize entry level information and belittle people who are not elite weightlifters who are contributing valuable information.
