Thank you Zack. I just began my solo weightlifting journey less than a month ago, at home after years of admiring others. Been following you for a while but only recently have I seen the value in your entire video library, I can’t thank you enough
The clean is much more complex than it seems. I remember the only cue my highschool coach gave was "just explode up!" While that's true, it causes ugly and outright dangerous form. Thank you for your detailed and comprehensive guides🙏
You continue to post seminal pieces on the cues and biomechanics of the lifts - I agree with prior comment. I would not that your previous video about your back problem, where you worked with the physical therapist to engage your lower core/pelvic floor, was reinforced by the video on flat back instead of arch when pulling and squatting/catching a clean or snatch. This is THE SECRET to correct engagement of the glutes that few ever find! I wish I had discovered this “trick” 40 years ago! Please consider a post that integrates these concepts, as it may be lost on some people. Great job Zack!
LOL, that meme killed me. Zack, I am not sure you will see this but i love your content. You are a fantastic resource and a great example of olympic weightlifting in terms of the way you carry yourself, your training, depth of knowledge, and your unique talent to make olympic weightlifting relatable to young athletes. Thank you!
Awesome explanation. I find myself switching to power at 200lbs when I can front sq 275. Never watched my hips retreating before. I'll check that out immediately. Thanks.
Love this video. Came at a perfect time for me, was having this exact issue with my snatch earlier this week and it was so frustrating. Turns out I was jumping forward and doing what you showed your client was doing with his clean. I will definitely keep this in mind today when I go for oly! Thanks!
How about the chinese lifters? Many lifters will extend backwards and draw their shoulders back, but sure they do manage to get their hips under. However the general approach is very different from the russian/eastern european appraoch.
This is exactly why I can only do power cleans😂 literally everything is above 90 degrees. Can’t catch at 90 degrees or lower. Even my hang power cleans are better than my power cleans 😂
honest question - how to switch from hard contact in clean (russian style) to smooth pull (china style) or vice versa if you find your current technique sucks
Thanks for this video. I use your videos to learn technique for squat and all the other lifts since we do not have much weightlifting facilities and coaches in India..
stogus I originally had a section talking about the early soviet system and how they teach the pull and how Aleksey and the ukrainians are somewhat of an offshoot of that. Lol it sounds like I’m calling modern Ukraine part of the Soviet Union which is stupid af but there was a reason.
Is putting focus where your hips go more beneficial than just focus on finishing your extension? Some people naturally have fast twitch muscle fibers vs others, or no?
@@yewsh muscle fiber type doesn't have a correlation to technique. This video was about technique to help your clean. Your the one who mentioned fiber types lol. Fiber types relates more to a sprinter vs a powerlifter as opposed to how someone does a clean lol
Thank you Zack. You just explained exactly what I have been doing wrong. I used your advise this morning in the snatch and before I was done I was full snatching more than I power snatch! (just like the title of the video)!!!
pretty sure its the first time ill disagree with anything you say, but why would you want the bar contact to be the high tighs and not the hips... i agree with the content tho and keep up the good work
You dont hit your hips, it is a bad movement, teach good stuff like pulling instead of hiting your legs..you wont go much far in oly like that ,only if you take steroids
I don’t know how, but whenever I identify an issue in my technique, you upload a video on how to fix it. Best weightlifting channel on youtube!
Literally
He's just been keeping an eye on you this entire time.
your form has improved alot man ,gj !
Thank you Zack. I just began my solo weightlifting journey less than a month ago, at home after years of admiring others. Been following you for a while but only recently have I seen the value in your entire video library, I can’t thank you enough
Every time I watch one of your videos, I get so pumped to practice the technique stuff you teach.
The clean is much more complex than it seems. I remember the only cue my highschool coach gave was "just explode up!" While that's true, it causes ugly and outright dangerous form.

PUSH JUMP PUNCH!!!!!
Your videos ooze with the sweet nectar of quality information.

still such a banger of a video. TY for this, m'lord
Clear and concise. Thanks as always man.

3:55 - PAUSE, that was a close one..
a foot away from his head?
this is really great. I hit a pr yesterday on the clean but it felt slightly off. Your videos are valuable to me man, it helps me a lot!
Love the thumbnail
olympic gold garunteed! 😊
Great video. Explains why I jump forward and stand cleans up on my toes. Thanks so much for putting out content!!!
Thank you, this will help me to correct the exact problem that I am having. I now understand it better and have a solution too! Thanks!
Hey Zac, I’ve been using your accessory tips and they’ve helped me a lot. Just wanted to say thank you
Zack you are the men!
Im cleaning tomorrow and i like this.
Legend thank you Zac❤
Great to see you using Copywriting techniques for thumbnails 👏
Man this helped me tremendously, thanks!!!
been double bouncing a lot of heavy cleans recently. this was an interesting connection!
Nice!!!.....ive been trying to figure this out for ages!!..
Thanks heaps!!!
Can you do a video about jumping forward in the Clean ? I'm trying to fix this in my lifts
just be an absolute tank and dont let your feet come off the ground

I feel like cleans from the power position would be a good remedy. What do you think Zack?
thank you zack ! can someone link me to this video 2:10 too please ?
I always enjoy your videos 👍
Great info, great tip!
Thanks for this video. I use your videos to learn technique for squat and all the other lifts since we do not have much weightlifting facilities and coaches in India..
I liked this video because of the title alone
beautiful thumbnail and title I'm proud of you hahahaha
Da great video comrad
Used to hate high pulls and trap high pulls, lol that shit hurts.
ill try
The focus is a little off anyway, great video as always
Nice, thanks
great content thank you!
>He thinks keeping my shoulders forward will make me not need to double bounce
HAhaa
In the complex you use high pull or low pull?
thanks Zack :)
I’ll go and give that complex a whirl, I think!
Where did you play lax?
Jigglytits the giraffe.
good shit
thicc boi zacky
Nice content
lmao "soviets"
3:16 all the soviets
stogus caught that
stogus I originally had a section talking about the early soviet system and how they teach the pull and how Aleksey and the ukrainians are somewhat of an offshoot of that. Lol it sounds like I’m calling modern Ukraine part of the Soviet Union which is stupid af but there was a reason.
Gorbachev has left the chat
Yo she caught the clean on 3 fingers and readjusted. Maybe there is hope for me and my short midget pinkys after all!
how about 'clean without contact' as a technique excercise
i'm burst after a hard month. completed with no rest. anyway i just decided to give a break for a week. until watching some videos of urs. fuk.
Great 👍
In my defense my back is all fucked up
Am I really first? As I'm putting on shoes to lift?
Instant like during the ad for the awful title.
I use the "S" technique to clean my windows, hbu?
Hammer + New Windows is best
Is putting focus where your hips go more beneficial than just focus on finishing your extension? Some people naturally have fast twitch muscle fibers vs others, or no?
That has nothing to do with technique man. This is a technique issue not a muscle fiber type issue lol
Jordan Brown ur comment is confusing.
@@yewsh muscle fiber type doesn't have a correlation to technique. This video was about technique to help your clean. Your the one who mentioned fiber types lol. Fiber types relates more to a sprinter vs a powerlifter as opposed to how someone does a clean lol
Jordan Brown I don’t think you know what you’re talking about bro
@@yewsh yeah you wouldn't. lol
You’ve been watching lots of ads lately bro;)
3:15 Soviets? Present tense?
How about one easy trick that will make my wife clean more house?
Hero. I've watched all your videos and got Anta's, can i be an eCoach now?
Sorry, you're overqualified. You'd need to become a National coach at that level.
Looking like a reverse curl lol
Thank you Zack. You just explained exactly what I have been doing wrong.

No u

I just had to come in and show support for that blatant insult of a thumbnail :p
Bro.... that title and thumbnail hits a little too close to home.
40. !

Wot
True
What?
Keep the weight light to focus on technique
