Such good advice, so many times I will leave the bar unhappy because I didn’t reach the number I was hoping for instead of leaving happy with the work I’ve done.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Yes!!! Positivity is key!

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! EPIC TIPS!!!!. Knuckles down works. THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDZ!!!.... For me once the muscle memory of where the bar placements are at lighter loading on traversing the movements; Making sure technique is on point.

[@justinheyl7327]

Ok, the knuckle down tip @ 4:30 corrected multiple problems and I immediately lifted 15% more. I am a beginner at these lifts so issues with early arm bend, bar swinging away, racking....., improved balance and power leaks....and I like your warmup progression.

[@patrickryan2879]

Love your videos and whoever is taking them/editing them is pretty talented.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

[@va1erykachurin]

I looked at your other videos to see how you perform the clean (the main thing is to look more carefully, and not be distracted by a pretty girl:))), I'm glad that you made a separate video...what material the bar is made of? I can only guess from Patrick's tense face that it is not made of plasstmass😄...you make it fly up like a feather👍I'm a little late, but I congratulate you on the beginning of spring🌻

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

It doesn't feel like spring here yet! So cold!

[@va1erykachurin]

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell we had almost no winter :) I saw snow only a few times (quickly melted) but the month of March is always a symbol of spring for us, even with snowdrifts

[@DonVaillancourt]

Hi Kristi. Another great video. Will need to re-watch it several times. I would love a video on weight progression. How do you increase weights safely? I did 175lbs clean and all was well. Then went up to 185lbs and pulled my lower back. So how do you know when it's too heavy?

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Will put it on the list! And just don't out jump your last jump!

[@julzsep90]

4:30 this knuckle technique I applied it on the snatch video Immediately saw the difference thanks again. Forgot to comment on that video lol

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

That is awesome to hear!

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell hit a 2 rep Max C&J today using the knuckle technique helped me rip the bar off the ground while keeping the bar path on target for a decent catch ... Thank you for the help

[@justinmarroquin7168]

Kristi you give great info on the cleans the jerks the moves I absolutely love I also love your videos clips I’m teaching myself (actually your teaching me)😆to do CrossFit and some of the olly lifting I don’t go super heavy it’s technique I’m after I’m 62 and I love the cleans Thank you you give me so motivation. Can I also ask what do you eat in a day and how does your training look like from day to day. I have found you a bit late in my life but I do love to follow you. Hopefully I can have a little bit of muscle and a leaner body fingers crossed 🤞 thanks for your help in advance 👍Deborah love from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 Thank you.

[@nathansmitty3591]

My arms are so long I can touch the top of my knees while standing straight up. So my clean always look like I pull early. I've tried the arm bend before but it has never worked well for me. I think it was because I would create the bend as I was pulling instead of doing the bend at the start like what you said. I'm going to try it again on my next clean day. Thanks!

[@miriamramos1831]

I wish your camera man would get your whole body on many instances during technique tips.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

We make sure sound quality comes first so you can hear the cues and we need the mic to pick it up! Will work on it!

[@100ssgoku]

It maybe the camera 🎥🤔

Can someone please tell me what‘s the intro song of the vid? Love it!

Great job Kristi, I all suffer from an early arm bend. How can I correct that?

[@erikhendricks7909]

Thank you for sharing your barbell warmup. Thank you for sharing your tips on the Clean & Jerk. If I had a EMOM-6 of 6 Pull-up buy in & to accumulate 36 Clean & Jerks, would I do touch & go or 115#? Could I do that warm up before I started the workout? Great job with the EMOM workout. Do you not want to have a slight bend of the arm? Don't you always want to try for your goals even if you hit 90% and your positioning might be a little off? Great job with the heavy Clean & Jerk.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

If that 75-85% is feeling off then I don't push it. There is days the body just hurts or needs a bit more recovery!

[@erikhendricks7909]

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell Gotcha ya. I have 6 pull ups buy in & to accumulate 36 Clean & Jerks, what weight should I use

[@BLB138]

I NEVER make contact with my thighs/hips during the 1st pulls of the clean/snatch. I feel like it’s a huge issue that has hindered my ability to get stronger in my Olympic lifts. Last time I tried to fix this problem, I noticed i was losing all of my momentum from the first pull to the second pull. In other words: I was basically pulling the bar from the ground the to my thighs and almost pausing before cleaning the bar. Any tips or exercises to help fix this problem?

[@jannahrehab8647]

My gym mates says I have strong arms and shoulder but I can’t do bar muscle up, previously I was doing bar muscle up 3 rep unbroken for couple of days then suddenly I stopped practicing bar muscle up bcz of some pain issues, and now when I want to do bar muscle up I can’t do it, I feel my technique to do bar muscle up is not right before and not stored in my brain cells , do you have any easy tips so that I can go back to do my bar muscle up, I appreciate if you can. Thanks 😊.
