Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) hitting full extension. It is this extension that allows the athlete to transfer the power fully from the legs to the barbell. The frame on the left is a still frame of a jumping drill Coach Wu uses to train the motor pattern of the extension which matches similarly to his snatch extension in the right frame.

Along with teaching the body how to be more powerful (at the right timing), jumping in Chinese weightlifting methodology is also viewed as a form of relaxation and recovery.

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”!

2 words, Oleg Kechko! Great coach teaching the Russian style techniques. Got to train with the crew down at Superior Athletic Advantage (@superiorathletic, @malrawlings) and Tim Rawlings (@rawwlings). Always great being home with friends and family.
