#GetTechnical // Jump, Don’t Hump! Clean Up Those Pulls for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on September 11, 2018September 13, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

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 […]

#GetTechnical // Bridging the Gap Between Powers and Fulls in Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on August 21, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

#GetTechnical with your power cleans! Typically, when you mention the word, “power”, lifters can often tend to lose all resemblance of how the actual full lift should look and feel. In this segment, we will touch on the difference between catching high and catching right with power cleans. First off, if […]

#GetTechnical // Stacking the Split Jerk for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on August 8, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

Sometimes during the split jerk, we may feel the barbell ending forward. This can be caused by one of two things: 1) Driving the barbell forward in the dip and drive, or in this instance, 2) Pulling the body behind the barbell too far. When landing in the split jerk, […]

#GetTechnical // Simplify Your Pulls for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on August 1, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

Video 1: Error ➡️ Video 2: Corrective drill As we’ve said before, cues are relative to the situation and athlete. In this instance, excessive focus on “knees out” and “knees back” have caused a breakdown in ground force application — or the PUSH through the ground. When we start a […]

#GetTechnical // Meeting the Barbell with Tension in the Clean for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on July 18, 2018July 18, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical

After the extension or “jumping” phase of the snatch or clean, we have to remember that the lift is only half over! In this instance with one of our remote athletes, we are seeing a little bit of a disconnect between the body and the barbell prior to the receiving […]

#GetTechnical // Optimizing the Snatch Bottom Position for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on July 11, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

When it comes to the Snatch, a solid and comfortable overhead squat is a must! In this instance with one of our Keep Pulling Remote Athletes, we have a positional weight distribution issue at the bottom of the overhead squat that will affect snatches at heavier loads. When an athlete tends to […]
