Stacking the body over the feet to where the barbell also drops a straight line down through the mid foot allows the joints and surrounding musculature to function with the most mechanical efficiency.

In the (squat) clean, the weight is ideally met at it’s apex of travel before riding with it down into the hole.

Dropping out to the bottom without first having secured the bar can cause the barbell to crash down onto the shoulders and destabilize the system.

Notice also in the video, when meeting the bar above parallel, this act offers the athlete the advantage of gathering some eccentric load which can then be used to turn him/herself around out of the squat. Weightlifters will refer to this as catching the bounce.

When two worlds collide. #FuBarbell getting some love from the ballet scene with our friend James Mills.

James performs as a professional ballet dancer — having danced for the Boston, Tulsa, Colorado and Smuin Ballets, as well as Infinity Dance Theater, San Francisco Opera, and many regional ballet companies as a guest artist.

According to James, this move is a “double tour en l’air" (two turns in the air).

Sik.

When you clean, do you have:

1. Slow elbows?

2. Bruises on your collar bone?

3. Catch the bar low against your chest and push it up into the rack?

If you said yes to any of the above, you need to relax your grip during the rack delivery to facilitate more speed around the bar. Learning how to release the grip to meet the bar in the rack can be practiced and drilled with an empty barbell until the athlete becomes comfortable with the maneuver.

You just spent two hours throwing heavy weights around. Your first thought is getting beached on the couch. Your last thought is doing abs.

Give your trunk a fighting chance by flipping your workout on it’s head. Try doing your trunk work at the top of the session instead of letting it fall off the end.

Triple extension versus flat foot? Whether the athlete finishes his/her pull 1 - triple extended or 2 - flat footed, the common denominator is that both styles should have the heels grounded when they are at the 3 - power position.
