CLEANS



CLEAN TECHNIQUE

Fancy that!

Just two weeks ago, I finally had a break through on my cleans, which transferred over as well to the snatch!

Breakthrough in a Nutshell:
Do you ever notice how Olympic lifters rock back into their heels in the set up position, right before the lift?

This is key.

I have been watching and observing my amazing friend lifters...they all are pretty amaZeballs, and they all ROCK back in their heels before the lift!

So what does this do?!

This rocking back into the heels creates tension on the bar...it loads the hamstrings and glutes!

This is so essential! Without it, you are extremely limited.

Now, it's a matter of dialing in on that technique, getting comfortable under heavy loads, and getting strong as hell!

Hope this helps!
