An important discovery in technique.
« on: Sep 01, 2011, 09:19 PM »
Guys, I just realized...

When it comes to the starting position of either a snatch or a clean, you have to keep your hips low. Use your lats to keep the bar close to your body and your shoulders over the bar, but DO NOT purposely lean forward.

Thanks. This was something I actually learned because of you and the others who suggested me to improve my starting position with the cleans. I was so caught up with keeping my shoulders in front of the bar that I allowed a big leeway in loosening my upperback and raising my hips.

I assure you some lessons with an actual coach and you would have so many eureka moments.
Give yourself the opportunity to learn and grow.
