#GetTechnical // Extending Legs Through the Power Position in Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on July 15, 2021July 15, 2021 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

#GetTechnical with your extension! Even during light warm up reps, we must make sure that we are still achieving the proper positions all the way through each lift. In this video with one of our Remote Athletes, there is a lack of leg extension through the top of the extension […]

#GetTechnical // Jerk with your Knee in Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on March 6, 2019 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

Position is power in the Snatch and Clean, but let’s talk about the jerk! A proper landing will ensure both stability and consistency. When landing in the split jerk, we need to make sure: ✅Front shin is vertical ✅Back foot is up on the ball of the foot ✅Back knee […]

#GetTechnical // Knee Positioning in the Split Jerk for Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on November 13, 2018November 14, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

We have done a few segments in the proper foot and split positioning from the extreme side view of the lift, but let’s change perspective to a front view. In this instance with one of our Remote Athletes, we have a little bit of inward tracking on the front knee. Ideally, in […]

#GetTechnical // Reinforcing Consistent Positions in Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on October 2, 2018October 5, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

When we train for Weightlifting, most of our coaching is centered around teaching, correcting, and reinforcing the proper bodily positions at the proper time. There is an old adage that says, “Position is power,” and that couldn’t ring more true for Weightlifting! In this case with one of our Remote […]

#GetTechnical // Properly Pulling from Blocks in Olympic Weightlifting

Posted on September 25, 2018September 25, 2018 Patrick CostelloPosted in GetTechnical, Olympic Weightlifting

#GetTechnical with your block work! The purpose of using pulling blocks for the snatch or clean is to isolate the upper portion of the lift; the “second pull” or extension phase. The athlete must start and remain over the barbell (meaning shoulders FORWARD of the barbell) as long as possible […]

#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 // 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 // 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 […]
