Lü Xiaojun #77kg finishing up his 200kg #squatjerk ; barbell close to the face (no head rearing back) he unhooks his grip and dips and drives with an open hand and has relatively high elbows; all these ensure the jerk forces(tensions) are from the lower e

Lü Xiaojun #77kg with 200kg #cleanjerk in training. With the huge talent pool in China I have no idea whether he will lift at the 2019 worlds or if he is even entered. Very low position, full hand around #barbell #olylifting #olympicweightlifting

Li Hongli CHN 77kg in almost all the major competitions leading up to and including the 2008 Beijing Olympics placed 1st in the #snatch. He often had problems in the jerk. The heel height of his shoes may have been a minor contributor to jerk misses. A hi

@rebeka_koha Weightlifting requires individualized rehearsed technical and platform routines that eventually become free of any mental thought. The best performance happens when the lifts are performed automatically, when the motor patterns are controlled

Rachel Siemens @siemensweightlifting light jerk behind neck. We don't go heavy in this exercise, typically around 70-75% intensity #cleanjerk #olylifting #jerkrack

Rachel Siemens #64kg Screen shots from video of a set front #squat 120kgx3 a few wks ago. each rep of the 3 reps is identical, a virtual carbon copy. Consistent repeatable quality of movement governs both the #intensity and extent of numericals. High elbo

Rachel Siemens #64kg @siemensweightlifting Whether #backsquat or #frontsquat we always go to this low balanced position. Critical is the speed of ascent in squatting. After tomorrow we have another 4 wks in a strength cycle with an emphasis on leg stren
