[@muncheasy]

what exercises / drills would recommend for speed under the bar and explosiveness after the catch? Arley's explosiveness after the catch is ridiculous!

VAMOS CHILE!!!

[@AM-cg3nt]

Holy fast twitch

[@sergiotl7378]

He needs to tape the barbell the same way Max Lang does to protect his pants.

[@hookgrip]

he's gotta get some of the hottest merch in the game (store.hookgrip.com/product-category/equipment/polish-training-gear/) link in bio

[@JMJC1]

When will you reduce the shipping costs outside of USA, might like to buy something but postage cost is too high. Have you considered ebay with their GSP service?

[@big_yoshi01]

hookgrip yeah I want some hookgrip tape and knee wraps, but shipping cost is way too high

[@hookgrip]

Can you point me to USA-based companies that charge less for shipping from US-based warehouses? I understand that we could open warehouses or place inventory in Amazon Europe or something but actually those costs are very high and the product costs would reflect it. That's the reason we don't do it, we don't think it's actually a real money saver at the end of the day unless we were able to do really high volume.

[@hookgrip]

Also, re GSP, ebay charges a 10% fee on top of the normal paypal fees. Maybe we should put some small/light items (like knee sleeves) on ebay with GSP enabled and a 10% price premium over the HG store? If that works out to being cheaper for you, I'm down.

[@derfla3139]

wes kitts soon???

[@hookgrip]

we did not get training hall video of him because he arrived later than most of the USA team and he was tapering so it was less interesting. we do have training hall video of mattie and harrison but i'm not sure how interesting it will be because it was pretty light. we'll still publish it though.

[@ragib29]

plz no

[@ke3285]

Wes who? 😂

[@critic5108]

He is not jumping at all when he is doing clean

[@big_yoshi01]

Critic well you arent suposed to jump

[@critic5108]

Actually, clean is the imitation of jump.

[@critic5108]

It just seems like he is not using his calves.

[@Dani75California]

The purpose is not necessarily to jump but to reach full extension of the leg and exert as much force through your legs as possible, the movement must be explosive but just explosive to allow you to get under the bar, the goal is get it overhead, not to jump with the bar. Also, it may seem like he's not jumping but believe me there's an anourmous amount of power generated from his legs, bear in mind that he cleans somewhat around +-200kgs in this video, so it's pretty much impossible to jump with that weight. BTW look at some chinese weightlifters, their legs are utilized in the same manner: exert as much force, not necessarily jump.

[@critic5108]

Dani75California yeah budy you re right and thanks for the answer. My coach always says : you should be imitating the jump when you re doing clean. That is why i said that but maybe he is wrong.
