Pulling underneath the bar requires coordination, mobility, speed… and lets face it, quite a bit of courage. A common misconception amongst beginners is the idea that a (squat) snatch or clean requires the athlete to hastily slam rock bottom into the hole.

While this strategy will work with the lower end weights, the challenge arises when it’s time to get after the big numbers. Slamming rock bottom takes away the ability for the system to load the legs well and removes quite a bit of the eccentric load going into the hole.

Alright boys and girls, Lester Ho (@lesterhokw) and I are back for the final installment regarding levers of the body and its effect on pulling mechanics. Last chance to get considered for our 2015 FuBarbell + The Training Geek seminar tour. If you are interested in hosting, fire off an email to Diane@FuBarbell.com and title it “Biomechanics 2015”!

The Arms as A Lever

Apart from identifying the ratios between the torso, femur and lower leg, another lever within the body which affects movement is the arms.
