I literally did my first set of power cleans (after doing it with an empty barbell for a few weeks) and there was a personal trainer at the gym coaching 2 guys and had them doing tricep kickbacks. smh

Amen! Men are not hamsters.

@my mom oooff

nothing wrong with machine work for accessory movements, but i agree that a valuable trainer should be coaching free weight compounds as much as possible, given the client can actually perform them. (no injuries or severe mobility issues)

Alan is a fantastic trainer and I feel blessed to have taken some coaching sessions with him at the amazing Untamed Strength gym.

Hahaha i noticed that like a third into the video and I laughed my ass off. Alan's beard is legendary.

Lol but it is also practical. Where the hell else is he gonna put it with all that hair, on his nose!?

I was about to post the exact same thing.

If he puts it on his shirt collar, like most people, all you'd hear is scratching and stuff from his beard covering it.

I’m just glad he has a mic. Everytime I watch these videos I can’t even hear the person

same...

Alan Thrall Why are you not teaching the third pull?

I enjoy watching the vídeo. But i would apreciate some side view, even some slow motion like the "hookgrip" Chanel.

Alan Thrall What is the jump cue for tho? Is it so he learns to extend the ankles because he wont jump r anyways

* on higher weights?

Exactly. I bet the guy is doing really well with coaching like that despite his age and kinesthetic awareness challenges. LOL

I like Athlean X, but he demos on WWE stars etc. This is so much better. Watching him teach a realistic person.

+Chris Otoole Maybe people with a weightlifting background, where the clean is learned differently.

+Chris Otoole You haven't trained around a lot of weightlifters, have you?

Agreed everything is laid out so u can understand it and there isn’t a lot of unnecessary bs in there to make it seem like a lot more goes into it I mean it’s lifting weights not performing surgery

It's the dirty plates giving dislikes

I feel like its a little inaccurate, his hips are so high, feet so close and little knee bend

The only time I really see them mention the hip position is when the trainee is already in the proper position over the bar, but they then for some reason instinctively lower or raise their hips (probably to get into a slightly more comfortable position). If the lifter has their shins touching the bar, flat back, and the bar is currently over mid-foot, any hip movement will either move the bar towards toes (if the hips drop -> shins go forward -> bar moves towards toes) or towards the heels (if the hips raise -> shins go back -> lifter pulls bar to touch shins and therefore pulls it towards the heels). Just my observations and understanding from reading and performing the power clean. I agree that hip position is technically irrelevant, as it will be different with every lifter. Shoulder position, bar over mid-foot and flat back are the most important aspects. Just easier to point at a trainee's hips rather than telling them to position over mid foot again. Telling them to move their hips higher or lower will naturally cause the rest of their body to position the bar properly again over mid-foot. Easier cue.

So in another video, the person doing the power clean/deadlift had their hips low. Once they started the lift, the hips went up - they could have just started in the “hip-up” position. It is a good cue to follow if you have this problem. More efficient.

Hey, don't know if you will see this, but where did you learn weightlifting in Vietnam? I'm looking for a coach!

Same lol

philj212 no one was thinking about that bro 😂
