We’re excited this week on the USA Weightlifting Podcast to re-release one of our favorite and most downloaded episodes!

Cheryl and Chad will be talking about getting under the barbell in your snatch (though this applies to the clean and the jerk as well) and how to commit to the lift; which first means committing to your pull from the ground through extension (hopefully FULL and QUALITY extension). We’ll be getting into some of our favorite drills that will not only help improve your lifts and get you closer to your best movement, but also build confidence and ultimately new PRs! Enjoy the show.

We’re excited this week on the USA Weightlifting Podcast to re-release one of our favorite and most downloaded episodes!

Cheryl and Chad will be talking about getting under the barbell in your snatch (though this applies to the clean and the jerk as well) and how to commit to the lift; which first means committing to your pull from the ground through extension (hopefully FULL and QUALITY extension). We’ll be getting into some of our favorite drills that will not only help improve your lifts and get you closer to your best movement, but also build confidence and ultimately new PRs! Enjoy the show.

Today he’s joining us to talk about the magic of the “83% threshold” and what he calls “applicable force” for your heavy, medium, and lighter loads. In this episode we’ll be getting into some of Danny’s favorite tips for building mindfulness and learning how to think less, feel more, and work through problems on the platform more effectively.

Topics:

01:00 - 83% rule
05:30 - Speed vs. aggression
15:00 - Practicing automation
25:20 - Wave cycles
30:40 - Timed rest intervals
40:00 - “Applicable effort”

Sample Workout:
*Discussed in the show for Snatch or C&J (add 10 seconds to each segment for the C&J)

“Clusters”
A. Snatch (or C&J)
A1. 5 sets 1 @ 75%
-1 rep every 40 seconds
-rest 2-3 minutes before starting A2
A2. 5 sets 1 @ 80%
-1 rep every 50 seconds
-rest 2-3 minutes before starting A3
A3. 5 sets 1 @ 85%
-1 rep every 60 seconds
-rest 2-3 minutes before starting A4
A4. 5 sets 1 @ by feel
-1 rep every 2 minutes
-aim to increase each of these reps
*ONLY 1 miss allowed; if you do not complete the 5 reps, drop down to 75% and finish the remainder of the reps (ie, if you miss on rep 3 of this 5 rep cluster, then you need to do reps 3, 4, and 5 with the lowered weight of 75%)

Instruction:

Perform the 1st 3 warm up sets of any squat workout (overhead, front or back) and the 1st 3 warm up sets of any snatch or clean workout, without shoes (barefoot). If you’re unable to maintain sufficient quality in this way, then progress into it over time as indicated in the recording.

-Extended Plate Squat 5 reps w/5 sec pause/rep
-Ankle Rock 10 reps/side (replace w/1-2 mobi drills most meaningful to you)

Instruction:

Pause in your lowest position for at least 5 seconds on half the warm up reps for any back squats, overhead squats, or front squats you perform up to about 70%.
.
If you’re currently unable to hold with quality at that depth, then try elevating your heels for some of those reps and progressing down through sets, weeks, and/or months as part of the process in teaching your body a better overall position. Only 1-2 inches of your heel is to be on the elevated surface.

In this pause position ensure:
1. The bar is touching the top of the knee cap (unless you are using an adjusted level to best improve your movement).

Welcome back to another episode of The USA Weightlifting Podcast. This week our hosts are diving in head first on how to improve your jerk. This episode is dedicated to dissecting the jerk from the set up to the finish. We’ve got a bunch of tips coming your way, including on how to improve your positioning, some technical variations, and proper foot work for the jerk. Also, you can follow along with a review of a listener’s jerk with the provided link below, along with some other links of note for the benefit of your own jerk. Enjoy the show and be sure to leave us a review!

Topics:

07:25 - The jerk
23:05 - The dip
36:50 - “The Pez dispenser technique”
41:00 - Split depth
1:12:00 - Video Analysis

Tips for Corina’s jerk (from video analysis):
*NOTE: Many critical mistakes are made and some fundamentals ignored before the dip is even initiated. Corina exhibits a few of these mistakes, but hopefully some of these cues can help.

1. Setting a proper tempo for a consistent dip (including a more consistent depth) requires an athlete lock out the knees prior to dipping. While the knees are locked try to combine that with the action of wiggling your toes. This shifts the body to the back part of the foot which is critical in driving the bar straight up.
2. Take time to make your set up routine the SAME each time. Be thoughtful and deliberate.
3. Between sets of jerks, focus on one or two either mobility or positional drills. Corina, I recommend you do wall dips between sets. (Wall dips: placing your back flat against the wall with your feet beneath you as if you were going to dip. Practice the dip with your entire back sliding straight up down the wall.) this will help with the awareness needed to dip straight. Shoulders need to stay on top of the hips.
4. Shoulder mobility is key to handle heavy jerks and “stacking” is critical. Practicing jerk recoveries in which heavier loads are lifted will allow you to feel how to balance overhead and if there are some lingering mobility issues.
5. Pairing jerk recoveries with shoulder mobility exercises/stretching will help.

Recommended Protocol for Corina:
*To be performed as the first 3-5 warm up sets of any jerk work in program for 4 weeks; at that point reevaluation is indicated to confirm that the protocol has made improvements and/or to adjust as needed either to find more appropriate drills or to progress from the previous.
