Let's talk PULLS! As we broke this down for our Remote Athletes, the goal is #JumpDontHump — the snatch and clean are both essentially weighted jumps. Jumping is a LEG action and not a HIP action, so save the hip swinging for a hula hoop ;) . When executing pulls, we must end straight and tall. After the "extension" phase, the barbell will still be moving and we must control it close to the body/torso by: ✅Extending the legs ✅Keeping the body in a straight-ISH line ✅Guiding the barbell with the arms (elbows UP!) . Poor pull positioning can be seen when a lifter: 🚫"Hits" the barbell with the hips 🚫Leans back excessively 🚫Keeps the arms straight . #GetTechnical #Weightlifting #TampaWeightlifting #Technique #Coaching #KeepPulling (at Keep Pulling) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnllogAhpKi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10hrltdxglek7

#VideoAnalysis // An excerpt from a video review to one of our Remote Athletes touching on leg drive and how it affects timing and bar position! • When we talk about "keeping the barbell close," we have to make sure to position the body correctly in order to achieve the desired result with the barbell. In this instance, telling the athlete to perform cleans as NO FOOT CLEANS (meaning the athlete attempts to NOT move the feet off the ground), the following occurs: ✅Driving the legs downward ✅Keeping the body over the barbell ✅Keeping the barbell "close" • Anticipating or rushing the extension/jump could: ❌Track the knees forward too early ❌Bump the barbell away from the body ❌Disrupt timing and positions on the way up • If you find yourself knocking the barbell away from your body, remember -- it's about the JUMP, not the HUMP! #JumpDontHump @keeppulling | @813weightlifting | @ternweightlifting • #Tampa #TampaBay #BarbellClub #Weightlifting #Oly #SOHO #SouthTampa #CrossFit #Westchase #Clearwater #LIftWithUs #USAW #USAWeightlifting #813WL #TampaWL #TampaWeightlifting #KeepPulling (at Keep Pulling)

Another installment of #GetTechnical with #JumpDontHump from the Power Position. • Since the primary moves of the barbell are the LEGS, anything outside of a tall, vertical torso in the power position will create a horizontal HIP drive rather than the vertical LEG drive that we need. • Power Position is a jumping position. To execute a proper lift from this position, we must: ✅Balance on the heel of the foot ✅Stand tall and vertically ✅Forcefully extend the legs against the ground • Creating force with the legs against the ground (an immovable object) drives the barbell upward. Push legs down! • Creating force with the hips against the barbell (a movable object) drives the barbell outward. Close is key and straight is close! • #Weightlifting #Snatch #Technique #KeepPulling www.KeepPulling.com/REMOTE (at Minneapolis, Minnesota)

A method to correct pushing with the legs too long/straightening the legs too early that we did for one of our remote lifters! • We can't jump with straight legs, so creating the sensation of a hard leg drive versus a violent hip bash means we have to back it up and evaluate the positions that we are working with. • The best way to FEEL the position is to hold it. Pauses are great for finding timing and balance errors. When you pause at your power position, are your legs ready to "jump" or are your hips ready to "hump"? • #JumpDontHump #Technique #BeATechnician #KeepPulling www.KeepPulling.com/REMOTE
