How To Fix Your Bar Crash (Olympic Weightlifting Technique) | California Strength

In this video we’re answering one of the most common questions in Olympic weightlifting... How do you fix Bar Crash in the Clean?
Before we dive into the how, it's important to know why this matters in the first place. When the bar crashes onto your shoulders in the Clean, it can be very difficult to create an efficient squat recovery. In the Clean & Jerk, we want to save as much energy as we can for the Jerk and an efficient squat recovery is key to doing so. With that in mind, we hope you enjoy the video and please leave us a question or feedback in the comments below!

Amazing video super in depth thank you so much for this Edit: I’ve been weightlifting for a few years now and this might be one of the first times someone has explicitly said to externally rotate the shoulder in the pull under. Gonna put this to use later!!

I think very important for avoiding bar crash is able to adapt your catch position to bar float position. Because when pull faze is over bar kinda floats for breef moment and ad that time you pull yourself under the bar. Problem is because people learn to catch at certain position usualy much lower not adjusting to the bar float position and then bar crashes onto them. It is very problematic thing. Because your muscle memory doesnt want to adjust every time it wants to do the same thing every time because of this only small procentage of people have this ability to adapt catch position. One way is to avoid thinking go under and catching it and simply think of it as pulling your whole body to the bar like in a pull up but reverse.

How would you program Olympic lifting movement into an athlete program? Specifically, a baseball player? My brother and I Olympic lift it many moons ago at the sports Palace in San Francisco but we ran through the full program of Olympic lifting and applied it to our baseball. But baseball players don't necessarily need a full program. How would you utilize the Olympic lifts in a modified sense for sports athletes?
