Wednesday, 6/8Daily News and Notes:*Hang Clean Speed – Speed under the bar is equal in importance to securing the barbell in a proper rack position. This is extremely important and becomes most apparent at the bottom of the clean. This is the point in the clean that the barbell will have the greatest amount of momentum directed downwards, when you are dropping under and catching. This is also the position in which the torso will be slightly inclined forwards, in order to front squat under the bar. If the elbows fail to turn over fast enough, you will have difficulties recovering out of that deep front squat position. If the elbows are sub-optimal in a front rack position (pointed down, rather than creating a secure shelf for the bar) the barbell will pull the athlete down and forward resulting in a missed lift. Think of your elbows as the steering wheels and must steer you upward, not forward! How to Fix it: Try not to keep a death grip on the barbell for too long. Once the barbell makes contact with the shoulders, release your grip and let your finger tips guide the barbell in place. |
