Elisabeth Akinwale (@eakinwale) sequence of a 98kg/216lbs clean&jerk.

This sequence was taken in the warm-up room at The Arnold this past March. Elisabeth competes with Team MDUSA.

Getting the hips through under the bar is imperative to a solid receiving position in the jerk.

A few cues that may help are:
- “punch the front foot forward”
- “step off the platform”
- “lead (forward) with the hips”
- “punch up, jump down”

What are some of your favorites?

A common thread amongst athletes and coaches in our community is the yearn to learn. Hungry to become better, I find most of us are intelligent, well read, thoughtful and insightful just to provide a few adjectives.

Going to a weightlifting meet is like a hub where decades of experience and knowledge just wait to get plugged into and all at the cost of a simple hello and asking a question.
