Hey Greg, any tips on ways to get deeper in the split jerk? On my heavier jerks, I tend to tense up and have trouble getting adequately under the bar with what feels like a decent drive upwards.
@CatalystAthletics3 күн бұрын
Strengthen split - push jerk bnk in split, jerk bnk in split, step to split, drop/jump to split, jerk recovery, jerk support in split, etc. You can find video demos in my library - www.catalystathletics.com/exercises/section/10/Jerk-Exercises/

Are there any downsides to wearing a lifting belt? I feel like there's no reason why I shouldn't be wearing one when doing maximal lifts and just lifting entirely 'raw' is just an ego thing.
@CatalystAthletics5 күн бұрын
Mostly depends on why you're lifting. One could argue it's an ego thing to lift with a belt also. If your goal is to lift as much as possible, wearing a belt makes sense. If your goal is to lift as much as possible while also having that ability apply maximally to non-lifting ability, then it makes less sense.

The amount of foot shuffle width is inconsistent with me. Sometimes it’s way wider than shoulder width - and I know that’s probably bad. So a few weeks ago, I decided to do ‘no foot’ powercleans just to see if I could do it. I was surprise I could. Don’t know if it’s going to help me eventually lift more or improve my technique, but it felt really good and I’m probably going to exclusively do those for the time being. I’ve read that shuffling your feet way too wide to catch the bar is bad technique, but I don’t know.
@CatalystAthletics7 күн бұрын
You should be receiving the lifts in your squat stance - anything wider or narrower than that is "bad". That said, it's not necessarily a big problem, and will happen pretty commonly in the snatch at least for even the best lifters (going wider) with really tough lifts. Doing no foot/jump can help re-train your motion and sense of where you should be, but I wouldn't switch to them - that's just masking the problem and will be a limiter long term. Try doing them in a warm-up, or in a complex with a regular lift to get the benefits without hobbling yourself.

I don’t have mobility in my right wrist and have pain all the time while doing snatch or jerk because of that my elbow bends little bit i know my problem is not technical or power just one fuking wrist pain under my thumb and it’s irritating with all of this pain i did 105kg snatch and 135kg jerk my clean is around 145kg i can do more but pain is not letting me im new to weightlifting just 2 years how should I fix it
@CatalystAthletics11 күн бұрын
Sounds like you need to imprive your wrist mobility then... you can find a lot videos on that, but if it's that bad, consider seeing a physical therapist or similar who can do a real eval and tell you if there's something more complicated/severe that you need to address.

Should the arms/shoulders be internally or externally rotated in the start postition - Chad Vaughn states fully internally rotated but others have stated externally. There doesn't appear to be a lot of information about this.
@CatalystAthletics12 күн бұрын
I would prefer very slightly internally rotated - definitely not end range IR - because it makes an easier transition into the pull under, which requires IR. ER is often taught as a way to help engage the lats, but the difference is negligible at best, and more importantly, if you need that extra 1% of help to keep the bar from moving away, the problem isn't lat engagement, but poor posture and balance putting you into a position in which it's unreasonable to expect to be able to do it.
@CatalystAthletics12 күн бұрын
But I also think lifters should do what works best - with the caveat that it's actually what works best, not just what's easiest at the moment because it works around a bigger problem they're avoiding fixing.
