**Why do we have a progression for beginners on burpees? Despite the fact the burpee is a bodyweight exercise, it is one of the most compromising movements on the spine if the core is untrained and not yet strong. The flopping motion of incorrect burpees puts the spine in hyperextension on every rep, a position you want to greatly avoid. Typically, this is developed by building up pressing strength and core strength and why we have beginners work on the base progression until those skills exist.

The Snatch, Clean and Jerk are three Olympic weightlifting movements, along with all of their variations and progressions.  All three lifts employ the generation of force against the ground to accomplish the following:

1. Accelerate the barbell upward
2. Use that force created against the inertia of the barbell, to accelerate the athlete downward and into the…
3. Receiving position

All three lifts require simultaneous upward force of the barbell and downward force of the lifter in order to accomplish a successful rep.  It’s the ultimate yin and yang working together.

The Clean and Snatch are their own unique lifts; however they both are executed under the same fundamental movements, mechanics and angles on the human body. These fundamental movements are known in the weightlifting world as the 3 Pulls.

1st Pull
The phase in which the barbell is lifted from the floor to the point at which maximum upward explosion is reached without pulling with the arms. Typically this is reached around the mid to upper thigh level.

2nd Pull
Is the seemingly fluid transition, where the arms are engaged into the movement as the body reaches full extension at the ankles, knees and hips. The arms continue to draw from that upwards force created through the 1st pull.

3rd Pull
This is the catch of the barbell or the receiving position. This is the transition from the extended position into the receiving position. Try to think of this final pull as a drop. As that barbell continues on it’s upwards path created by momentum and power, the body itself is dropping down in the opposite direction and force is no longer being applied through the ground and up into the body. Rather the barbell, with its inertia, acts as an anchor in space against which the lifter pulls to bring them underneath it.

**The Push-Up

This is where most people are just all wrong from the get go, and without the proper positioning of your hands, arms, hips and even neck, you will perform crappy rep after crappy rep.

Create Tension – For starters, pull your feet and knees together so you can maintain tension.  Part of the pushup benefit is in the work on the trunk/core musculature, and even the quadriceps which are working isometrically.  Without tension, the work on these muscles becomes lost. Tension starts in your feet and moves its way up the chain, so bring your toes together, lock your knees, squeeze your glutes together and keep everything tight and tense until that set is finished.

Kiss the Ground to Maintain Tension – Believe it or not, where you position your head has everything to do with how your hips will behave in a pushup.  The very top part of your spine is the cervical area (C-Spine) and is very sensitive to hyperextension (looking up when you shouldn’t).   When you are in the pushup position, it is impossible to look up without your hips sagging downward.  When your hips sag, you break that important tension and basically remove any work on your trunk/core.  You also immediately shorten your range of motion and look like one of those people having bad sex with the floor versus performing a pushup.  Instead, focus on kissing the floor.  Not literally, but look down and at end range of motion your face should be centimeters off the floor with eyes looking straight down at it the whole time.

Stack the Joints – Elbows are usually flailing all over the place on bad push-ups and the result can be very detrimental. Number one, it can be bad for the shoulder.  Number two, when your elbows flare out at 90 degrees you greatly reduce the involvement and targeting of the shoulders and chest and basically just make it a semi-dangerous tricep exercise.   Your working joints (wrist, elbow, shoulder) should essentially all just be stacked on top of one another throughout all parts of the rep.  This means that your elbows should stay at about 20 – 40 degrees off your body the entire time, and your starting position from your hands should be thumbs directly underneath your shoulders.  Flaring elbows are the probably the biggest culprit in sabotaging the productivity of the pushup.

Everything Arrives at Once.  In any body weight movement, correct positioning will have everything arrive at the same time.  In the pushup, your head, chest, hips and legs should all be reaching the floor together and then returning to the starting position at the exact same time, essentially just making this exercise a “moving plank” (as you have likely heard your coaches reiterate in class).  The flip side of this would be sagging hips that hit first do to looking up the whole time.  Pretend your body is connected by a string from your ankles to your ears and that you must keep that string linear throughout the entire set.
