How else do you flex on all them Olympic coaches lmao

ROGUE R.N. late comment but this is not the best clean how-to video on youtube .. far from it actually , with all due respect to alan but this video has questionable teachings in it

@@authenticbaguette6673 explain. What about this guide is questionable

Andrew ok , so let's start with saying that I'm not an olympic coach nor do I have super impressive numbers in snatch and C&J , and what I'm saying here is mostly what I have heard very reputable and well-recognised experts in this field . Ok , so Alan here teaches arm bend in the second pull to get the bar into the hips and make contact there by pushing the hips into the bar . This is problematic for many reasons : 1) Bending the arm creates unnecessary tension there and causes an energy leakage between the upper and lower body , in fact the whole idea behind using a hook grip for weightlifting is to keep the arms loose 2) the hips should move with the same proportion as the knees , while keeping the weight in the middle of the foot at all times , this is what they call "staying over the bar" as in the hips should neither shoot up or come forward too much even during bar contact because the lift is not over when you make contact (obviously) and you still need to squat down and catch the bar , and throwing your hips forward , be it by using the knees too much or not enough , will make that process less efficient . Where as we see Alan saying "knees" which automatically causes the lifter to bring their hips forward with the knees instead of flexing and extending in a balanced manner at both joints . 3) telling the lifter to jump is not a very useful cue , as it may get the lifter to be more explosive and learn how to transfer the power from legs into the bar .. this bad habit can be hard to break when the weights get heavier and the athlete fails to recieve the bar low enough because the intent of jumping causes the bar to lose height as the athlete drops , since all objects free fall at the same speed . The remedy will be to learn how to "shuffle" the feet outwards and slide/pull yourself under the bar . Klokov even has this drill when he teaches crossfit people , he puts clips on the floor next to the athlete's feet to make sure they don't jump . 4) the bar should make contact with the upper/middle thigh (depending on limb length) for the reasons mentioned above . Sorry for the lengthy comment , but I had to actually get the point across and not just sound like I'm saying "I know more than you so you should pay respect" or something like that .

@@authenticbaguette6673 what would be a better guide to follow then?

Josh H nice one... 👌👌👌👌

Jeff AK wtfff💀💀💀

Go to howtobasics channel then. That guy gives much better tutorials

You made my day nice job dude 😂

Legend

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Until now

Well said!

what about now

What about now?

What about now?

What about now!?

Now about what

Haters gonna hate.

Trolls gonna troll

Yeah thats elite

Not sure what to think right now. According to Mark rippetoes tutorial of the clean, the starting position is "just like a deadlift" and he says to never bend the elbows during the movement before the jump since it results in momentum loss.

@@Crown_Royal lol I think you'll find that Alan would probably teach this different now, considering he became a starting strength coach some time after this video was made and this video is ~7 years old.

@@MoonRei1 Hey Thanks for replying, I didn't know he's a starting strength coach that's coincidence. With guys like Alan I almost expect an explanation to be accurate same with Mark so I was confused. I myself lift for 16 years already but olympic lifting is new to me. However I applied for olympic weightlifting training in my town and I'm excited to find out how they teach it.

@@Crown_Royal That sounds fun! I've been lifting for 9 years and started with crossfit. Oly is fun, and I find more technical than powerlifitng. I also find it good for my joints cause they get used to the impact. Never loved snatches though, just not mobile enough for em. Gl and have fun!

Let me get this straight, I am supposed to pull myself under the barbell?

I think you're supposed to go Above. He didn't confirm it enough to be understandable

So push myself over the barbell? Check.

DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL

IM TRYING!
