I think the issue is the advice he is giving is quite different to powerlifting.

@@richardmurphy8350 on top of that this guy uses so many filler words it’s obnoxious. I found myself pissed. If he was teaching a class I’d leave. Usually when someone fills their vocabulary with that much junk they lack conviction in what they preach or experience. Either way credibility suffers.

Its a fun drill. Kinda gamified but it helps people get the idea that the foot work doesn't change.

He's probably a beginner tbh considering the issue they're trying to fix here, but I agree the timing and chronology of everything he's doing past the knee is off. In case he reads this and wants to know, the contact with the thigh is too soft and he starts pulling from his elbows when still at the knees (a better pulling sequence would be contact(+ triple extension) > traps > elbows, with the latter two being a "pull under the bar" cue). These also apply for the snatch.

@@atrumluminarium correct, not the issue we were addressing in the video tho. Main focus here was to retract the hips and get under the bar.

100% for CrossFit. I'm sure the athlete in the video would appreciate your feedback. He's not a professional athlete. He's a dude trying to learn something new.

Did you guys not read the video title? “Fixing Muted Hips in the Power Clean” It was a beginner athlete demonstrating the movement (which I agree was not the best idea), so there were other issues beyond just the muted hip to be corrected, but that was outside the scope of this video. Also, it specifically said it was for the POWER clean.

Power cleans are catched slightly higher than for clean and jerks. Also the form improves with more weight.

for his mobility

Squat Depth for Oly is different than other strength sports like powerlifting. It’s where you are in the catch for a power clean, there is no such thing as a full depth squat or catch really.

Thanks Jonathan! The point of this video was to demonstrate a muted hip so focusing on other things wouldn't really make sense would it?

@@warriorsc I get that, but I think we have different definitions of a muted hip. A muted hip, as I have been taught, means not getting full extension during the pull. Not the catch.

@@jonathanbrillo5557 that would be incorrect. That would be lack of hip extension.

Agreed, I thought the same thing.

Whatever dude. I hate seeing “perfect moving” athletes in every video. Wanted this to be a real world experience of what it’s like to coach a normal athlete in a gym. I’d also add that it’s a good attribute of a coach to let some things go to focus on the main thing you are trying to fix. Focusing on 10 things at once is not ideal.

I’ll also add that a experienced lifter doing a bad rep never looks like what you see with the actual people you are trying to help. This was a video to help coaches more than help athletes.

it's a crossfit term. Lord knows why they dont just call it a 'clean' still. Same with the snatch, they call it "squat snatch"

@@MrR0flLol we don’t simply call it a “Clean” in the case that a conditioning workout calls for cleans of any style, e.g. squat, power, muscle, or split. In this case, the term “clean” is an umbrella term, therefore “squat clean” prevents athletes from power or muscle cleaning. When specifically lifting weights outside of a conditioning context (a “heavy day” or skill session), CF coaches typically simply use “clean” or “snatch” to refer to the full movement.

This is something that I really can't understand too. The difference in technique between crossfiters and weightlifters is gigantic

Nothing rivals the Olympic lifts in developing speed, power, and explosiveness, and they are far more neurologically challenging than any other weightlifting movement. I would encourage you to read the older CrossFit Journal articles, specifically the ones titled “Foundations” for an answer to your question. As for your accusation that CrossFit “butchers” these movements, while that may happen with some inexperienced athletes, it’s certainly not the case with most. CrossFit’s charter of “mechanics, consistency, then intensity” provides a path for even the most novice participants to reap all the benefits of these movements, learning proper form at lighter loads and gradually increasing the weight as they get stronger and technically proficient. Also, CrossFit’s subject matter expert in Weightlifting, Mike Burgener, is a Level 5 Senior International Weightlifting coach who has trained athletes at the Olympic level, and his team teaches seminars all over the world for CrossFitters who want to refine their Olympic lifting. I just returned from one this past weekend, and it was an exceptional learning experience.

WTF does this have to do with the video?

Hell yeah brother

why

@@karansoam watch his video on the power clean then come back and watch this.

@@NotoriousNUGS Ripp's video is extremely informative and goes way more in depth... this video is just showing a good way to help beginners use their hips. They're both good; you don't need to be such an elitist.

What's so funny
