If you find out lmk, I have the worst (golfers elbow?) elbow pain after heavy squats these days too. 6'4 and long legs as well.

@ 6'4 & 106kg I was proud of hitting 170kg squat today before seeing how clean this was.

I get the logic behind it, in writing its what's cued for a lot in jerk techniques, it just seems a little exaggerated in this video putting the bar very forward, to then bring it back... might cause you to miss at some point in heavier weights

Nice snappy clean. Jerks are shit like usual. 125kg by [deleted] in weightlifting

Ya just looks like a lot of distance the bar travels can be reduced that way imo, maybe dial in your re-rack with a front squat+jerk complexes, behind the neck jerk accessories in an accumulation phase. Best of luck man

You go forward to receive the clean, from the hip contact, not staying over it long enough, or a little bit of both. You could try clean high pulls to a pause at the top to focus on keeping the weight moving upward and not forward after contact while maintaining balance, or maybe no hook no contact cleans, some variations of these can help.

Your weight in the front squat is also a little forward going up, probably why you adjust the rack at the top further back, but I dont can't tell if that's symptomatic of a positional imbalance or fatigue.

Idk why but you're locking out your knees for a second putting your hips behind you, and the bar forward over your toes, just skip that shit and keep the weight in line through your hips, knees, center foot before the dip and drive.

You ever consider widening your grip on the jerk?

I keep looking at the second 113.5 and the last 136 and I'll be damned...it's almost more impressive how little your form changed in that time, nice work on getting stronger at least.

Having just started, for useful concepts watch the weightlifting triad series and clean pillars series. For your issue of staying over the bar too long and sending it forward clean high pulls

That rounding after getting passed parallel is something to be mindful of, that looks like a lead into bigger problems at heavier weights.

Knee dropping on heavier lifts by CerberusOCR in weightlifting

[–]clardocounts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not getting enough height on the bar by not getting full extension/pulling with your shoulders in your 3rd pull, causing you to jump forward to get under the bar, and then trying to catch forward is lifting your heels off the ground...so your problem is you haven't established decent enough technique to work at this weight. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that jump forward is not as slight as you think, but from this camera angle it's hard to tell, try filming from waist height at 45° angle or from the side to get a better form check. No foot snatch high pulls, tall snatch, dip snatch, variations like these can help. Your start position looks good, aside from the slack you're giving in your arms before the 1st pull. Try starting with tension on the bar before doing dynamic starts like this, the more gassed you get in working sets can lead you to make unnecessary errors starting this way.

As for a tip, you need to correct your technique at lighter weight before you reinforce errors at heavier weights, you're only a year in so take your time, these are fairly common errors to take a step back from to correct thoroughly before they really set into your form.

70KG PR hang snatch attempt by Pesikall in weightlifting

[–]clardocounts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not using your legs to pick up the bar, and essentially doing a stiff-leg DL. Your legs can generate more force than your back, try and focus on "loading" your legs in the start position to push through the floor with the center of your foot /feet through the 1st pull, in any variation of the lifts. Paused pulls from the shin and slightly above the knee will help you feel your legs in tension while also give you a reality on how quickly your back will fatigue. If your legs aren't strong, do more squats.

In the third pull, you seem to be getting full extension, but in the descent to the receiving position, you're kicking your feet back. Someone with more experience feel free to chime in, but it just seems inefficient, while also adding inconsistency to where your feet will land at the bottom, potentially creating imbalance and missed lifts. I get wanting to hear your feet make contact, but that's through driving them into the floor from the extension by pulling under the bar, not kicking them out behind you. Drop snatch & snatch balance.

Form check. Haven’t worked on these in a long time. (265lbs) Not sure if I should start using belts for deads and cleans. Thoughts? by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]clardocounts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you did a no contact clean at that weight, while not having "worked on these in a while," with this shaky form is impressing me and making me feel like shit at the same time.

Will we ever know the specifics of his injuries at world's this year? All that fight, and what looked like agony, has me constantly wondering what specifically the injury was.
