Topic: A Few Good Training Lifts

[Jesse Reynolds]

We had a few PR's in the jerk today.  Here are some of the videos:

17 Year Old Male - 130KG @ 68KG

17 Year Old Matthew Hinson Jerk 130KG (286LB) @ 68KG (150LB)

25 Year Old Female - 102KG @ 67KG

Laura Davie Jerk 102KG (225LB) @ 67KG (147LB)

15 Year Old Male - 85KG @ 60KG

15 Year Old Anthony Watson Jerk 85KG (187LB) @ 60KG (132LB)

I observe the have all the same technique, still the boy in back plane with only the bar.
Why they lift with maximum lombar curvature, and with a head - kick in front?
Alexeev was wrong with he lifted 255?
I ask this because in 30 years of weightlifting nobody explaine this to me.
In other aspect, your pupils seem very strong and stable.

Arturo, I'm not sure I understand your points and questions.

I think you are saying these lifters have an exaggerated arch in their backs. I can see your point with the female lifter but not the two males. Do I understand you correctly?

What motion are you referring to by "head kick".  If you are referring to moving the head back as the bar passes upward, how else would you avoid hitting your chin or nose?  If you are referring to moving the head forward once the arms are fully extended, I agree with you, it is recommended by many but without explanation.

That 17-year-old kid is something else.

Great job coaching.

If you are referring to moving the head forward once the arms are fully extended, I agree with you, it is recommended by many but without explanation.

I have been coached in the opposite.  That is bring the head back so the bar can pass then bring the head back to the start position after the bar passes the head.  Pushing the head forward causes a backward pull of the weight and can screw up balance or cause a miss (Newton's Third Law).

Perhaps it was taught to create and artifical forward lean or backward pull on a weight improperly jerked upwards in more of a forward angle?  Or perhaps to create an artificial locking of the shoulder blades after the set?

These videos are very helpful for the complete training and also guide line
for the best technique. I would make my lifting better with these lifting.
