repost via @instarepost20 from @mastrength In Chinese weightlifting philosophy, the technique principle of 'low' is an important concept in order to catch the most amount of weight. To fully implement it, the athlete should drop their body quickly and shorten the barbell’s path to the greatest extent under the premise of maximizing vertical force. These skills are both active measures to improve the effect of pulling since the barbell moves upward by virtue of its inertia while the athlete actively squats down. The opposing motions of the barbell and athlete should be fast and coordinative. Here we feature 2011 world champion Zhang Jie (62kg but here at 65kg) warming up with a 135kg snatch during the IWF Grand Prix, who does not waste any excess upward energy to implement the principle of low. So this week get low and see how it effects your lifting. If you find there principles useful, check our 'five words' poster, shirts, and tanks at the Ma Strength store: www.Chineseweightlifting.com/equipment #mastrength #mastrengthyourstrength #chineseweightlifting #CrossFitweightlifting #CrossFit #weightlifting #snatch #snatches #olympicweightlifting #strong #olifting #olylifting #instarepost20 #corespi #spifit

Not to be outdone by Lu Xiaojun in the mountains, here we see 21yo Tian Tao (85kg) reach excellent extension on the way up and a stable catch straight down during a 180kg snatch (8kg off the world record). It is only with strong and stable support points that a lifter can release the greatest potential of power to transfer forces effectively. Tian Tao achieved this by 1) keeping the bar close to ensure the total center of gravity follows along the center line of the support surface and 2) supporting his wrists with cotton wraps. So keep the bar close for maximum force transfer and check out the Ma Strength store for cotton wraps to optimize your wrist support.#MaStrength #mastrengthyourstrength #Chineseweightlifting #weightlifting #Olympicweightlifting #olifting #olylifting #olifting #85kg #snatch #snatches #themountains #crossfit #crossfitweightlifting

As distance tests a horse’s strength, so does time reveal a person’s real ability (Chinese proverb). Hence Chinese lifters are encouraged to put the elements of close, fast, low, timing, and stable to the test by maxing out on snatch and/or CJ on Fridays in order to assess their ability and refine their future training. Last Friday was no different but still very special when Lu Xiaojun (77kg), during his own training camp in the mountains, snatched a massive 180kg (1 blue, 1 yellow, 4 greens, and one white)!!! This is 4kg above the current 77kg snatch record which he holds. So this Friday test your real ability, assess your results, and refine your training over time. And if you are interested in the cotton wrist wraps Lu used for this lift, they are now available here: http://www.chineseweightlifting.com/?p=1199 #mastrength #mastrengthyourstrength #chineseweightlifting #snatch #snatches #luxiaojun #77kg #strong #weightlifting #olympicweightlifting #olylifting #olifting #themountains #crossfit #crossfitweightlifting

A proper direction and application of force application to the barbell leads to a successful lift, this is the goal of the 5 words of Chinese weightlifting philosophy. Chinese researchers Bi and colleagues confirmed this result using 3D motion analysis to study the successful and unsuccessful snatches of elite Chinese male weightlifters under the same loads. They found no significant difference between the successful and unsuccessful lifts based on the temporal and spatial characteristics of the snatch movements. Instead they found linear acceleration of the barbell in the first pull of the successful and unsuccessful lifts to be the deciding factor. An example of proper application can be seen with Feng Lu Deng (69kg) who snatched 162kg at the 2015 China Nationals, which is 4kg off Liao Hui's world record. Here, he keeps the bar extremely close which allows him to quickly direct his force vertically from the first pull, react quickly during the extension, and catch low and stable. So your training and technique must focus the proper direction and application of force. Do not hesitate when lifting off the floor, instead secure your position and give 100%! #MaStrength #mastrengthyourstrength #Chineseweightlifting #snatch #snatches #strong #69kg #CrossFit #crossfitweightlifting #olifting #olyweightlifting #weightlifting #olympiclifting #Olympicweightlifting

Two key measurements that Chinese sports scientists and coaches measure and develop are speed and acceleration, especially leading up to and through the point of contact. Muscle snatches are a valuable tool for this purpose because the lifter develops the habit of driving fast, accelerating through the extension, and continuing to lift until the bar is overhead. This movement is used from the foundation stage through the elite stage as demonstrated by Ma Strength friend Lu Xiaojun lifting 100kg. So if your extension is weak or you stop lifting after you make contact with bar, try incorporating muscle snatches and then implement the same motion when actually snatching. To learn how to perform this movement in the context of Chinese weightlifting philosophy check out the Ma Strength website for upcoming seminars @samuraicrossfit @chikaracrossfit @crossfitdfb @evolve_strength and @code3athletics #mastrength #mastrengthyourstrength #chineseweightlifting #snatch #snatches #strong #olympiclifting #olympicweightlifting #olylifting #olyweightlifting #olifting #crossfit #crossfitweightlifting #luxiaojun
