Studying for the CSCS? Make sure you join my study group on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/2415992685342170

[@SkellXify]

Probably the most underrated and essential content put into a video you’ve posted. Hope more people pay attention to this 💪🏼👊🏼

[@TheMovementSystem]

Appreciate it! Definitely took some time to film and edit this one!

[@dxjohncenaren]

This guy needs to be paid by CSCS for all of this. Hands down the best channel!!

[@vincenzoisoldi1806]

Literally The BEST video on KZbin breaking down the terminology and techniques of Olympic lifts into one video. Beautiful summary. Thanks brother! All of your videos are very helpful when I'm expanding my knowledge during my studies 👊🏼

[@TheMovementSystem]

Appreciate the kind words brother!

[@demandsmarterfitness]

This was fantastic! I'm looking to get my football athletes to learn how to clean, push press, and snatch effectively this off-season so this video is at the top of my re-watch list!

[@111Phoenix777]

Very informative. Thank you for posting this. Not a young man anymore, but recently interested in this during the pandemic with all the gyms shutting down, trying to replicate as many exercises at home as I can. Finding out there's a lot I don't know! Never too late to learn though!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Cool! Glad to see you’re getting after it

[@rahuledd1]

Splendid! The information is very precisely broken down stage by stage, i see a lot of effort has gone into making this video. Great job Matt

[@TheMovementSystem]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ag135i]

Thanks for the informative and awesome video, I practice body building never done or seen anyone doing it in my health club saw it in one video and came to learn it here indeed very well explained.

[@kgledhil1]

This is the most helpful breakdown of olympic lift terminology that I've watched (out of at least 100 videos I've watched so far.) Really grateful for this content! O-H...

[@m15doofens41]

Can’t lie I have watched 1000 videos… but seriously this video is underrated… best video ever.., well explained thank you 🙏🏼

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!

[@YungGeeZee]

For those taking the CSCS practical, take pages full of notes on each of these movements! Break down into cues, study and be able to identify and train your mind how to and what to look for in each stage. Essential to pass the test. Thanks Matt

[@millerfamilyfitness84]

It also helps if you can do these yourself with good technique

[@NikkiNexo777]

This is great. Although I've been doing kettlebell, clean & press, and snatches for years, I'm just now learning the barbell clean and snatch. Starting with the bar to learn technique, then I'll slowly add weight. Thanks for a fantastic video!

[@jeffreycooley2032]

Very well done. I'm glad that I watched this. Thank you for sharing

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thank you

[@someperson111]

Fantastic video, you deserve every good thing that comes to you.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Appreciate it my friend!

[@iansimons5998]

Thank you! Incredibly helpful video. Really well done, I’m going to watch and rewatch as I learn.

[@missmaomi28]

This actually helped me understand the different phases better than I did, great video!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Great!

[@millerfamilyfitness84]

Great push jerks. This is what I’ll do best at on the test. I haven’t missed any of these on the practice tests with pocket prep

[@andysetaputri9187]

Best video I’ve seen explaining these essential movements. Thanks!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!

[@KannanSundararajan]

split Push Jerk looks mostly a stability reason thing. analyzing this: what you can also see is that compared to a Push Jerk 10:21 without a split. the lower back gets lesser bent in a curve i guess this avoids injuring the spine more 10:41 (what i also noticed in difference is that the split makes a kind of gun shooting sounding due to hitting the floor that hard with your feet, this is a cool showy side effect for better explosive force as well) could be they invented it this way cause it made it easier for especially higher weights at certain point where it was no longer possible to do it the old way. splitting the leg was enabling increasing the weight further that could be lifted therefore. the higher the weight the more difficult it gets to even push it that far up. so it seems to add to stability therefore as well. by splitting the legs. it should add to more pushing power as well cause i will land in a more stable position to support the weight better that increases also confidence in my own lifting power. knowing that alone improves how good i can be at this lift cause it reduces fear of failing. so it shows the advantage that version of it also has. just walking from lifted up position then back into a normal position is then not a much difficult thing to do, cause the weight is already above the crucial difficult lifting points floating in the air and i just have to focus on isometric strength from there on. easier to do that than lifiting up into the position i want to have it as it seems. interesting to see all those different parts of a lift as well. thx for sharing this!

[@EricSchorr15]

Awesome and informative! Thanks again a always Matt

[@TheMovementSystem]

My pleasure!

[@otmaneaboufath5089]

Thank you guys 🫶

[@prestonalexander7847]

Full hip extension is needed before full knee extension. Chin needs to be tucked back, head tilled up so that to look straight ahead you are looking down the bridge of your nose during dip and drive. Need foot work between pull and catch. Will need a wider base to maintain up right torso.

[@MrJunklove]

Beautiful video but why only 31k views..?

[@roylandparker6885]

Very good demonstrations, I know that these are power exercises.However, how do you calculate the weight that the athlete must lift during these power sessions?

[@TheMovementSystem]

You can test 1RM and assign load based on a % 1RM chart if you wanted to. That is one way that is common to do it

[@DelanoPinheiro]

Amazing video guys !!! Thanks !!!

[@kedigiller111]

Thanks for all the detailed informations. I subscribed and liked!

[@Sayan_Biswas.]

This is real genius

[@lizasem4184]

Best demo Matt!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!

[@alaeddinetaguia6536]

Thank you for sharing

[@TheMovementSystem]

You're welcome!

[@BossofBosses111]

You could tell Matt was starting to feel it but he pushed through 🤣🤣

[@TheMovementSystem]

😂

[@swappedoutZ71]

He did like 50 reps by the end of the video 😂😂

[@GalinPanchev]

Awesome video!

[@shankarsharma9010]

Great work buddy even that video eqully 100 pages read book

[@tom5927]

Well presented

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!

[@LiveNewsNow1]

Wow that was a great video

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!

[@caperider1160]

Spot on!!! Thanks

[@GovnuhName]

@10:40 technique

[@nikotejada9040]

Great Dump & Jump 👍🏼

[@racebarescscs8728]

Great video

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thank you!!

[@Its_me_nado]

Sooo beneficial

[@fuziking505]

props to bro had to clean it like 30 times

[@angadsngh01]

Hey man! How do you rate the csc by ncsf as compared to the cscs? Ncsf is really reputed and their cpt study material is top notch!

[@TheMovementSystem]

I don’t know enough about it to say

[@GavenRutledge]

How can I implement these into a push pull leg split

[@GavenRutledge]

Chest tri/ back bi/legs shoulders

[@theonlynuk3912]

I do see some lifters in the olympics do almost a sit before they clean. Is that just preference or because of increased mobility?

[@TheMovementSystem]

That’s probably to get the stretch shortening cycle involved with the hamstrings. The bar won’t typically rise off the ground until their hips go up a little but as they are lifting the hips up out of the hole the hamstrings are put on stretch and can potentially contribute more to the lift.

[@3k955]

Its called a dynamic start. Yes it helps with the sretch shortening cycle. But can also be used to set your back and posture before lifting.

[@qqfix614]

Saved 👍

[@cuentas217]

But his do you measure grip width from the hip pocket? You just said the bar is at the ASIS and Matt has long arms?

[@dhananjaydhruw1034]

Can you suggest me good weightlifting shoes for men at affordable price?

[@SuccessmarketingWEB]

If one's doing a clean and a push press do they still have to do the squat?

[@TheMovementSystem]

You could do a power clean to push press which would not involve a full squat

[@bakwoludovic117]

Just by watching this, I decide to prepare for Olympics 2024

[@maophysio]

good video.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!

[@leonananard]

No way to put this delicately so here goes... How do you go through the transitions without absolutely crushing your junk? Even with compression gear, etc, what do you do if you can't drag the bar across/up to ASIS?

[@TheMovementSystem]

It should contact a bit higher on the hip. If you have the right timing and scooping motion with the hips it should be more up than bouncing out.

[@Bpanther1]

I hope you bought that man lunch because he earned it!

[@YouAreSoMadRN]

Where's the hip contact?

[@TheMovementSystem]

The bar contacting your hip

[@rodolfodickson9500]

Toughest training day at a lifting gym is when they teach you how to lift 😭

[@brandonrandall1533]

Hey I don’t think that mirror is 20in off the floor.. ;)

[@TheMovementSystem]

Lol true

[@Satrasikralju]

👏

[@TheMovementSystem]

👍🏼

[@Turnpost2552]

How does anyone think that is a safe movement 3:17

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Nice Ohio State shirt.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Spent 8 years there. Great school

[@DarksiderDude]

why is no one talking about the whiteboard in the back

[@mp9305]

why aren't they jacked

[@TheMovementSystem]

We clearly are

[@theuzers]

The snatch is one of the worst exercises in the world i mean dude the Hell? First your going to dead lift then thrown weight do a jump squat into a pose position with the weight bar over your head i mean no one that not an olympic athlete thats getting paid should be doing this exercise.

[@crippledlifter]

This is cringey. It’s an ok attempt though.

[@TheMovementSystem]

I'm happy to admit that we're not professional weightlifters. This is an educational video to understand the phases lifts, terminology, and general cueing recommendations. The culture of elite weightlifting makes it difficult for a beginner to learn because people like yourself criticize entry level information and belittle people who are not elite weightlifters who are contributing valuable information.

[@tranedTurtle]

If you cant understand what hes trying to do for the community you're an idiot.

[@gonzagnr2]

amazing video

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!
