The tempo of a well executed jerk will have the back foot landing momentarily before the front foot finishes grounding. This maneuver acts as an anchor to push the body forward underneath the upward driven barbell.

High bar or low bar back squat? Where do you rack?

While tradition and conventionalism favor the high bar back squat in Olympic-style weightlifting. The low bar back squat lends value in developing systemic strength.

While positions can be made for or against either style, any exercise that is not the snatch, clean&jerk is merely a tool. Used intelligently, these tools can all be used to create a well rounded and robust program for the intended athlete.

When I’m old and retired, I’ll be sitting on a bench under a willow tree telling stories of how I used to talk about weightlifting sitting on a bench under a barbell.

Candid shots are the best. Thanks @paddygriffin and @dancefightlift.

Feeling out some new corners with the clean&jerk. Light technique day.

Good overhead receiving position has the athlete supporting the barbell down the middle of the body using the joint structures to create a sturdy rack. Any deviation from this stacked posture will result in the forces around the joints to not be centrated and cause the athlete to lose efficiency in supporting the weight.

Kelly Starrett 235lbs/107kg mixed grip clean AND jerk. After years of not being able to jerk off the front rack, Kelly is experimenting with a new technique to be able to connect the lifts and go overhead.
