#GetTechnical // The Effects of Head Position in the Snatch for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on August 3, 2021August 3, 2021 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

Your head position and gaze can affect your lifts more than you might realize. The body will mostly follow the actions of the eyes and head. Above is an illustration we made for one of our Remote Athletes to show the effects of a neutral gaze/head position on a lift […]

#GetTechnical // Static and Dynamic Start Positions in Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on September 18, 2018September 20, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

#GetTechnical with the dynamic start! A dynamic start in Weightlifting is one in which the lifter is in constant motion before and during the start of the lift itself — More or less, a “rolling start.” Though the dynamic start can help generate a little bit of additional momentum when pulling […]

#GetTechnical // Proper Arm Action in the Snatch and Clean for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on April 24, 2018June 29, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

#GetTechnical with arm action and turn over in the snatch and clean! This is an excerpt from a video review to one of our Remote Lifters. Guiding the barbell and the body requires proper action from the upper body after the legs have finished doing their job. Lifters should aim […]

#GetTechnical // Minimizing Movement and Solidifying the Pulls for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on March 20, 2018March 21, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

In this case, we are getting some excessive movement during lift off due a delay in setting tight for the beginning of the lift. Before pulling the barbell off the ground, we must solidify the body to move as one unit. By engaging before liftoff, the lifter can: ✅Reduce any […]

#GetTecnical // A Proper Stance for the Split Jerk in Olympic Weightlifting

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

Just as we discussed the start position of the clean or snatch, a proper start position also applies to the split jerk. Granted the barbell is in a different resting point, but it is also dependent on a proper initiation of the lift. Before initiating the jerk, athletes should: Stand […]

#GetTechnical // Controlling Your Dip and Drive in the Split Jerk for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on February 13, 2018February 13, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

In this video analysis for one of our Remote Athletes, we dive into the mechanics of the dip and drive of the jerk! Just as in the Snatch and Clean, the lifter must maintain positions through the dip and drive to maintain mechanical advantage over the barbell as an external object. […]

#GetTechnical // Attacking the Cause of an Error in Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on February 6, 2018February 6, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

When we see an error like an athlete jumping forward, this can very well be the RESULT of something happening downstream in the lift rather than it being isolated as the error itself. Here’s an excerpt from a video review to one of our Remote Athletes: When working from the #HangPosition, […]

#GetTechnical // Personalizing the Start Position in Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on February 2, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting, Videos

The start position of the lift is largely based on the athletes proportions, comfort, and other factors. There are some technical milestones that we should strive for to set up “by the book” such as: Weight centered at MID-FOOT Hips slightly above knees Shoulders slightly ahead of, or above, the […]
