Olympic Weightlifting: How To Get Faster Under The Barbell (Clean & Snatch)

[@mattias9411]

I like the Bruce Lee mantra of slow being smooth, and smooth being fast when teaching novice lifters

[@haveatyou1]

This is great. No other video explains the pull under like this. I will try it right now.

[@shubhgulati]

Thankyou so so much Chad and Dr Aaron. For far too long, everyone at my gym has been saying that I need to work on my high pulls. They said that the higher I can pull the bar with the shrug + triple extension, the better I will be able to position for the landing position, and this video just broke that myth. Thankyou!!!😄

[@666JETJE]

So helpful!! I finally found The Answer. Cant wait to try it out. Thank you so much!

Dammit. This is brilliant. Wish I found this ages ago.

[@rossc3447]

[@milenkocamprag5644]

Exactly what I’m needing at the moment thanks

[@prescottosegie]

Thanks for the info very informative I appreciate it very much💪🏾💯 I gotta improve being faster under the bar

[@Rupton14]

Great tips! Can you do more weightlifting videos? :)

[@adarusfitness6080]

Thanks for ur valuable lesson and guidance 👍🙏

[@RahFiki22]

Literally was just telling myself yesterday I was pulling the bar too high so I can't climb heavier weight......solution, pull under thank you.

[@snakeace0]

Excellent!

[@vladibarraza]

Bravo!

[@farbodjam]

Hi guys, thanks for your helpful teaching, it seems that you wil teach us to doing fast lift but I found four wrong act in my snatch after that I saw this video. 1: My first lift should be finished when bar between navel and diaphragm curtain is, I means that before that the bar became front the cheats I should be seat onder the bar and after that it's to late. 2: in first lift in the final hand move I'm very weak and I need to work on final hand lift or break the wrist moves for finish the seat under the bar. 3: I had also wrong stabilization in my moving, I should be seat simultaneously on foots and pulling the bar up and pressing bar up. 4: My bread was not ok but now when I going down I do exhalation and when I standings up I take breath. Thanks for your lesson's. Farbod

[@uncommonmotivation2777]

love this vid

[@jeffreybabino8161]

This is new to me I never worked at the Olympic lifts before would like to learn thanks🏋️

[@dineshbolar9018]

Thanks, u r awesome👍

[@maurogonzalez9557]

Please upload something about how to fix sartorius tendonitis Excellent each of your Dr. ;)

[@Happyal-qt3xs]

Excellent video thank you, one question I have is how to differentiate between this drill and pulling under too early (not finishing the pull).. It seems like the timing has to be absolutely perfect for this drill to be effective

[@HTFCITRUS]

I’m confused.. I thought that you’re supposed to execute triple extension going upward ⬆️ instead of leaning back? Regardless, it looks very clean.

[@johnmark7394]

Good

[@pranithmanyala9039]

Can you please make a video regarding disk bulge in l5s1 and nerve impingement

[@gabrielcornejo5428]

Great content! Can you make a video about the mobility for the "Squat jerk"? it could be awesome.

[@oraclegps]

no he cannot very few people can do them let alone train others

[@smolboyi]

@@oraclegps yeah but he specified mobility, not technique

[@smolboyi]

I would love this bc I keep giving myself shoulder impingement

[@oraclegps]

@@smolboyi ok as I have injury 🤕 too I learned 2 things you must do pre workout 💪 warmups and second you must train and strengthen secondary muscles 💪, this would help a lot and if course 10 min stretching

[@smolboyi]

I found it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpPWm6xnj5VrprM for the squat jerk you need much internal rotation, hope this helps

[@monky8975]

I'm in a rush to get a 225lb clean for my high school class (so I can get a t shirt 🤯) I can pull 185 high enough to throw it over my head and I can row 225 to my chest but there is a mental block or something when I try to pull above 200 and I can't get under it

[@2099mau]

nice content! So do I start weight lifting from a normal gym program for muscle grow? Or can I pick up a empty bar?

[@DilipkumarJadhav]

Start with a pvc bar or a light weight women’s bar. If you are starting Olympic lifts, you would have to do technique work before lifting heavy.

[@nenalona5151]

What about the shrug? 🤗

[@highlightedcomment]

Is it a good idea to get under the bar with 80% of my body weight or 160lbs @ a bar weight of 140 lbs ?

[@ericruiz8602]

I’m a novice lifter who is being coached. Just a general question with no malice Is this any different than a tall snatch drill ?

[@abadran8174]

the tall snatch is where we over pull like chad was saying not to do in this particular drill. this drill is almost the opposite of a tall snatch because with this, you simulate the bar height in a max snatch. to basically get our CNS ''proprioceptively'' ready to go to a true snatch bottom position under a bar that is so heavy that it is pretty low after the second pull. you know insted of our legs bailing on us and pushing against the platform to keep us from dropping too low. that defence mechanism is one of the main reasons new lifters who are serious have very good technique with the weights they can power snatch and then get really slow if they go any heavier.

[@jamesbilton3499]

One day soon , l hope to score one of those VAUGHN WEIGHTLIFTING Tee shirts (XL size)! That way even l never get to be a champion, l can at least look like one :😀😀😀

[@leozhu6770]

I think pandapull would be a better drill to address this issue

[@klrdto3250]

But why lean back? Why not demonstrate a hang clean?

[@haanswinn]

dat slight lean back makes no sense, never seen any lifter do that before as a Tall Snatch

[@BallisticTech]

You can go to the Hook Grip YT channel and watch Lasha Talakhadze's WR in SLO motion and see the lean back at full extension. Or any high level lift video on the channel For Lasha it's pretty evident because his stomach doesn't just magically transport through the bar. It would need to if he extended straight up. The leg brush/hip pop is often going to put forward momentum on the bar. The lifter pulls it back in keeping it in a straight and like Chad said the lean back creates space. Tall snatch/clean is a similar drill but most times taught as a drop under drill moreso than a pull under drill in my experience.

[@haanswinn]

@@BallisticTech thats actually not true, the intent is to fully extend upwards, not backwards, it's because the bar is so heavy that they end up "looking" like they are bending backwards which they are not doing because they would catch the bar in front, try that with an empty bar. lasha has a huge belly that gets in the way if he doesnt lean back slightly and that cannot be and should never be applied to general public, there is intent and then there is the results, if you focus on only the end result you will never understand how they get there

[@BallisticTech]

@@haanswinn yeah I've heard that talking point or cue a lot too. Along with "elbows high and outside while pulling the bar into you' There's a lot of subtle differences in coaching around the world. Chinese vs Russia vs US. Even from gym to gym and coach to coach But Mattie Rogers has no gut. Nor does Klokov or any of the smaller Chinese lifters. In many/most of the slow mo you can pretty clearly see the lean back and how it creates space like he said* (edited for clarity). I'm not saying the lean back is to pull the bar backwards. I'm saying the lifter is trying to keep it in straight line after it naturally tries to drift out after the hip pop/scoop/brush whatever. The lean back helps create* space There's definitely lifters with less lean back than others. But I mean Chad Vaughn is a US Olympian. Like competed in the Olympics for the US in Oly weight lifting. He's pretty knowledgeable. And watching dozens of slow* mo lifts of top lifters aligns pretty well with what he's saying.

[@rgaylemich2244]

Tall Snatch, Tall Cean…???

[@BallisticTech]

Those are usually taught as a drop under drill in my experience. Especially at light weight where there's nothing to pull. And usually doesn't key in on the lean back. This is more to key in on not trying to let the bar float up a bunch before moving under the bar but actively pulling under bending both knees and elbows immediately after reaching full extension. Especially with the slow version. Not cues I usually see in tall clean/squat drills This is specifically about p

[@rgaylemich2244]

@@BallisticTech 👍 Thank you

[@BallisticTech]

@@rgaylemich2244 no problem. I thought the same thing. I'm learning andI've been coached a lot about the bar being "weightless" and "dropping" under the bar, etc... Not that those are wrong but looking at a lot of slow motion videos on hook grip I do notice lifters have a lean back like Chad shows. And it makes sense that it creates some room for actively pulling under the bar quickly. I really like the cue of knees and elbows bending at the same time. I'm gonna try it in my next barbell session.

[@hipsman7199]

Nice lesson. But could be perfect unless this goat bearded guys accent is like genuine gay.
