When to Terminate the Jerk Drive There are a number of issues to consider when determining when the active thrusting of the lifter against the bar should be completed and when the movement into the squat under should begin in the jerk. All things (e.g., launching speed) being equal, the higher the bar is when force ceases to be applied to it, the greater height the bar will ultimately achieve. Therefore, if the lifter could achieve an identical launching speed with the legs bent at an angle of ...

A Fast Versus A Slow Dip in the Jerk The speed of the dip in the jerk is another area of variation among lifters. As noted above in the discussion of the dip, a faster dip will create a greater elastic contraction in the leg muscles and therefore facilitate the generation of a greater upward force. However, it is also true that, carried beyond a certain point, a fast dip will create so much downward acceleration that the muscles will actually become fatigued from the effort of stopping the down...

Unlocking the knees in Preparation for the Dip The rules of weightlifting generally require that the athlete straighten his or her legs fully at the conclusion of the clean. Many lifters begin the dip from this position (i.e., with the legs straight). Other lifters and coaches believe that the knees should be unlocked slightly before the dip for the jerk commences. They argue that doing this makes the dip smoother and straighter that when the lifter first unlocks the knees while dipping. The ad...

Optimizing Various Aspects of the Jerk Long Versus a Short Dip In The Jerk The dip for the jerk is essentially a preparatory motion for imparting maximum vertical velocity to the bar. It is much like the bend in the knees that an athlete makes when he or she prepares to make a vertical jump, and therefore the same essential principles apply to both motions. The preparatory bending of the legs accomplishes a number of things. First, it lowers the center of gravity of the jumper's body (or the c...

Jumping Forward or Backward When Receiving the Bar For many years there has been discussion in weightlifting literature about whether the lifter should jump forward, jump back or simply jump down when performing the squat under in the squat style. Most lifters simply place the feet sideways relative to their position or jump them back slightly during the pull when they perform the squat under. However, some great champions have either jumped forward an inch or two or backward to even a greater ...

Other Common Style Variations in the Early Phases of Pulling Lifters vary significantly with respect to certain fundamental aspects of their starting position other than those already mentioned. For example, most lifters begin the pull with the bar over the juncture of the toes and the ball of the foot. However, many athletes place the bar in front of the base of the toes at the start of the pull (though never altogether in front of the toes), and others place the bar over the ball of the foot,...

Degree of Leg Bend During the Adjustment Phase of the Pull There are two different schools of thought regarding the amount of rebend that a lifter should achieve during the adjustment stage of the pull. Some authors argue that the smaller the rebend, the less time and speed the lifter will lose in the transition from the second to fourth stages of the pull (the two stages during which the greatest force is exerted on the bar). Others argue that deeper the rebend, the greater the lifter's abil...

A Fast Versus a Slow Pull From the Floor Lifting circles have probably debated the relative advantages of a slow and fast pull from the floor as long as there have been lifters, and that debate is likely to continue for many years to come.

Different Methods of Executing the First Phase of the Pull Perhaps the majority of beginning and intermediate lifters begin to exert the force necessary to separate the bar from the platform from a stationary position. That is, these lifters carefully assure their starting positions while holding onto the bar, setting their position and then pausing before beginning to exert the force necessary to separate the bar from the platform. Since there is a high probability that as a will finish as he ...

Optimizing Various Aspects of the Pull Executing the Second Stage of the Pull with the Hips Low Versus High Some lifters perform a portion of the first phase of the pull with their hips in a relatively low position (e.g., with the hips joints at, below or slightly above the level of the knees). Others prepare to lift the bar with their hips significantly higher than the knees. Observers of athletes who begin with their hips low often make the mistake of assuming that the lifter is actually lif...

Foot Spacing for the Jerk Most lifters assume a foot position in the jerk that is similar to the one they use in the pull. The most common position is the so called "jumping" position, the same position that the lifter would assume in order to achieve a maximum standing. jump height (usually about the width of the hips with a minor turning out of the toes). This position may promote application of maximum force during the explosion phase of the jerk, but, in the jerk as in the pull, some lifter...

An Uncommon Foot Position for the Pull: The Frog-Leg Style From the 1960's through the mid 1970's seven Japanese lifters set a total of 30 world snatch records. Two of those lifters, Yoshinobu Miyake and Masashi Ohuchi, astounded the weightlifting world with their prowess in the snatch: Miyake with eleven world records and Ohuchi by snatching a world record in the 82.5 kg. class weighing only a little above the 75 kg. class limit!

Selecting an Optimal Foot Spacing Foot Spacing for the Pull Athletes will often ask about the correct foot stance for the pull. The answer given by most coaches is that the best stance is the one from which the athlete can jump the highest since, they argue, the final explosion in the pull is like a jump. There is a lot to be said for such advice. The final explosion in the pull is like a jump in many ways, and position that is functional for a jump may well be best for executing the final exp...

Hand Spacing for the Jerk As indicated above, most lifters use the same grip for the clean as for the jerk (i.e., a width between the insides of the hands from 16" to 26", with most lifters using a grip in the 17" to 22" range). A narrow grip in the jerk places less strain on the muscles of the shoulders than does a wider grip and generally permits the athlete to thrust more forcefully with the arms in the later stages of the jerk. However, with a wider grip, the bar does not need to be lifted ...

The Proper Position for Receiving the Bar in the Split Jerk The keys to a strong lock position in the jerk are similar to those for the snatch, except that the narrower arm position generally leads to less shoulder rotation and places less strain on the elbows. Nevertheless, the need to rotate the arms, to push up on the bar, to stretch the bar sideways and to pull the shoulder blades together is just as great. In fact, many lifters who have difficulty in locking the arms in the jerk could over...

Hand Spacing for the Clean The common advice given to the beginning lifter with respect to grip width in the clean is that the grip should be "shoulder width." This generally means a grip that is wide enough to position the inside of the hand just outside the shoulders when the bar is resting on the lifter's shoulders. Individual grip widths vary from approximately 16" to 26" between the insides of the hands (with most lifters being between 17" and 22"), although there have been some internatio...

Selecting an Optimal Hand Spacing Hand Spacing for the Snatch Optimal hand spacing in the snatch is dependent on a number of factors, and, as stated earlier, there are trade-offs in the selection of a grip width. There are often "rules of thumb" given in various weightlifting manuals for selecting the width of the snatch grip. For example, one text suggests that the distance between the hands be equal to the distance between the lifter's elbows when they are held out to the sides at a position...

Recovery from the Squat Clean The recovery from a squat clean is quite different from the recovery from a squat snatch. First, the torso cannot lean forward as much and the hips cannot travel backward to anywhere near the same degree as in the snatch because the bar's final position rests on the torso at the shoulders (as compared with overhead in the snatch). In the snatch, if the shoulders travel forward and the hips back, the bar can still go straight up. In the clean, if the shoulders go fo...

An Alternative Means for Lowering the Body: The Split Style Today virtually all lifters at an international or national level employ the squat style in the clean and snatch. This was not always the case. In the early years of weightlifting, the split style was the predominant method of lowering the body to catch a weight at arm's length or on the shoulders. Even as late as the 1950s there were more World Champion splitters than squatters, and many top lifters of the 1960s were splitters. (By th...

The arms are straight and the lifter is pushing up on the arms and thinking of stretching the bar as well. In the clean the bar rests on the tops of the shoulders and the elbows point straight forward, with the...

Locking Body Parts A number of elements of technique are difficult to describe verbally. They are things that you can feel, but not easily explain. The concept of locking body parts while lifting is one such notion. The need to lock or make rigid a given body part stems from the need to use that part of the body as a means of transmitting force (rather than its acting as a source of that force). One example is locking the back in the pull. When a lifter properly locks his or her back, or any o...

Proper Breathing While Lifting While not technically part of the subject of weightlifting technique, proper breathing is an important part of weightlifting. Although weightlifting is considered to be an anaerobic activity, it does increase the body's need for oxygen far more than most activities that are considered to be aerobic. What makes it anaerobic is that the activity of weightlifting is not sustained for a long enough period to use up the body's anaerobic energy supply. Therefore, a lift...

The Bar's Relative Speed at Various Points in the Pull The bar typically achieves its greatest upward velocity during the second and fourth phases of the pull. However, lifters generally create different relative bar speeds in the second and fourth phases of their pulls. The bar speed generated during the fourth phase of the pull is almost always greater than the speed achieved during the second phase The difference in speed between the second and fourth phases of the pull tends to be greater i...

The Movement of the Bar During The Pull and the Jerk The Trajectory of the Bar During The Pull Perception of the pattern of bar movement during a snatch or clean is affected by your position in relation to the bar and lifter. If you are watching a lift from the front, the bar will be perceived as moving vertically and evenly, i.e., the bar will be parallel to the ground during the pull. However, if the lifter is viewed from the side, the observer can see that the bar travels backward and forwa...

The Fifth Phase of the Jerk: The Unsupported Squat Under After the thrust is executed, the athlete's feet begin to leave the ground. (The back foot is slightly ahead of the front foot when the lifter uses the split style in the jerk, as does the vast majority of lifters.) The athlete pushes against the bar with the arms and shoulders to push the body down. During this time the lifter's balance is moving slightly forward and down while the bar is moving up for 70% to 80% of its upward path and t...

The Fourth Phase of the Pull: Final Acceleration The fourth phase of the pull is the one in which the athlete applies the maximum and most critical force to the bar. This is accomplished by explosively straightening the legs and torso, lifting of the shoulder girdle upward and backward and rising on the balls of the feet and toes. It should be noted that not all lifters straighten the legs fully during the explosion phase of the pull or jerk and that some high level lifters do not rise on the t...
