Great video! The science behind it all is so interesting. I have been working on improving my technique with some of the things mentioned in your video and it had helped so much with the actual lift. You make the technical side of this easy to understand! I look forward to the next video!
I think this video alone has been so much helpful for weightlifting than actual review work of the coach or personal trainer I’m might be wrong too idk but I just feel like this video is really helpful for understanding why you would do drop snatch or clean from blocks. I definitely will study this further when I have time.
Great Video. I am completely new to olympic weightlifting. I think in my case my biggest problem is to hit the bar with my hip in the snatch and the C.J, to produce the force to get the bar high enough. I hope you understand what i mean. Do you have some beginner tips. Thank you. Aleks.
This video is so unbelievably informative I suspect I'm gonna keep coming back to it for the better part of my next two years learning this stuff. And btw, I'm sorry for being such an Ignoramus about this, but what does he mean by Power variations and Classic lifts? Does Power variations mean doing your absolute max weight capacity?
You've probably found the answer by now,but in case you haven't: The power variations mean catching the bar higher than you normally would. For a power clean you would pull the bar to the point that you only have to bend your knees slightly to receive the bar, as opposed to dropping your body down quickly into the bottom of a front squat. Same for the power snatch.
Question: if your foot position in the pull is different than the foot position in the catch/squat, would you then use the squat/OHS foot position for the "no foot movement" exercises and decrease the intensity of that exercise?
Thanks for the reply. In this exercise, we would not be worried about the specificity of the pull but the trajectory of the bar at a lower weight to improve the motor pattern. So for example, intermediate lifter PR snatch is 110 kg, the 'no feet' variation would work up to a load of 40 - 55% of PR and the coach would watch for bar trajectory.
Math nerd here. How do you quantify T? I understand how to quantity the other two with distance from the floor, but curious about T. Thanks guys this was awesome.
I'll have Max come on here and answer that specifically but if I remember correctly its basically either 1 (bar trajectory is in a place that the lift can be made) or 0 (it isn't).
I think H and F are supposed to be close to the same number, which would make the result close to zero, then add a value between 0 and 1 for T, and the result will be between 0 and 1, closer to zero being the best. At least that's what I got from it.
Sorry, deleted my reply, since at the end of the day, all it seems to be saying is that perfect efficiency is height of the bar equaling lowest point of fixation, where trajectory is good. The equation for calculating that can be either absolute or relative, it'll have the same effective result.
Hey Max! I think the formula is wrong. If T=0 is the completely shitty trajectory, and T=1 is the perfect trajectory, then the formula should look like H/F-T. In this case the perfect lift will be indeed close to 0.
Henrik Gulyás the formula is correct 0 should be considered a perfect lift. Not 1 that is a Mispeak or an error in editing. The reason for making it + T is so we can later grade our technique by saying. If a lifter takes a step forward or back that adds 1 to the value of T or if they receive the bar with a pressout etc. that could be another point added. This way we could be more specific and identify if the technique is not flawless. Does that make sense?
The formula doesn't make sense to me. If H and F were exactly the same, and T is 0, then that would = 1. A score of 0 would mean that H was 0 which makes no sense. Example: H = 3 feet, F = 3 feet, T = 0, 3/3 + 0 = 1
I'm such a nerd that I actually took notes during this video. so much good info here!thank you 💪🏾
Max Aita, my first weightlifting coach although we never met. Following his training since 2017.
Finally someone who has real knowledge. All boils down to speed,technic,volume,intensity and the relation between work-rest.
This was a great technical video. Your channel brings some the best content I've found. Thank you!
Thanks
I've been weight lifting for a couple years now and I just came across this channel? *Face palm. Fantastic content.
Great video, this channel is producing amazing content consistently. A video similar to this with Chad for the powerlifters would also be awesome.
This community is infinitely better than powerlifting. Not different, but better. Love it. Great video.
Learned a ton, in under 13-1/2 Minutes! Great work on the training videos, as usual, JTS. Thank you, Max Aita.
Awesome Max. Illuminating!
JTS content is the best out there. Thanks guys.
Awesome info!! Just watching over and over again to take notes!! Congrats and thank you!! 💪🏻
Nice work at trying to make a quantitative analysis of such a technical item. Thanks.
this is one of the best video explaining about WL, Thanks!
Superb. Great information and presented very intelligently. Max is the man.
Love the man-prees at 10:05. rock on brother

Thank you Max. The video is deeply informative!
This is really great work. its set up like a lesson in school. Thx great clip
Extremely informative video. Thanks a lot!!
Awesome video! Thanks Max
Amazing video, thank you Max :-)
Very good and informational video.
epic video! thank you so much!!!
Just, thank you

Excellent video, thumbs up :)

Scientific. Just the info I was looking for.
Wow thank you!!!
Hi do you have any type for my problem I have a long torso and I can't keep my back arch... Thks
Great video , what's the name of the ending song ?
Do you guys use video analysis to measure H & F? Like, in meters? Or is it more theoretical?
Question: if your foot position in the pull is different than the foot position in the catch/squat, would you then use the squat/OHS foot position for the "no foot movement" exercises and decrease the intensity of that exercise?
You want to start a 'no feet' variation with your feet in the catch position.

So for example, intermediate lifter PR snatch is 110 kg, the 'no feet' variation would work up to a load of 40 - 55% of PR and the coach would watch for bar trajectory.
amazing video and content. please do more. how about deadlifts next!!!?
Math nerd here. How do you quantify T? I understand how to quantity the other two with distance from the floor, but curious about T. Thanks guys this was awesome.
I thought maybe it was distance from the body.
I'll have Max come on here and answer that specifically but if I remember correctly its basically either 1 (bar trajectory is in a place that the lift can be made) or 0 (it isn't).

DarthBunny314 This.

can we get CWS sailor shoes in depth review??
thanks
what would you classify hang cleans and snatches as?
Time to Fixation exercises.
Nice work showcasing some women. A lot of channels forget that women lift too.
Only JTS would develop a calculation for perfect technique.
My boys wicked smat
The best
I wish Starting Strength, Cali Strength and Juggernaut would get together and actually make American Weightlfiting great again.
muah
Great video..but no virus discount code?..their tights are clearly the unspoken 4th element in successful weightlifting
Perfect score = 1. A number divided by itself = 1, not 0. So if H and F were magically the same, the score would be 1.
If you really want the perfect score to be 0, then you can make the formula (H - F)+T.
lol you know Olympic weightlifting is super technical when they have formulas for it
Hey Max! I think the formula is wrong. If T=0 is the completely shitty trajectory, and T=1 is the perfect trajectory, then the formula should look like H/F-T. In this case the perfect lift will be indeed close to 0.

Does that make sense?
Max Aita ahhh that makes sense now. I was under assumption 1 was good score: so yes, great formula!
Yes it looks like we made an error when editing the video. Thanks for spotting that.
The formula doesn't make sense to me. If H and F were exactly the same, and T is 0, then that would = 1. A score of 0 would mean that H was 0 which makes no sense. Example: H = 3 feet, F = 3 feet, T = 0, 3/3 + 0 = 1
Doesn't make sense
I just fast-forward to see beautiful strong women at the end of a video.
That equation doesn't make sense. Put the numbers in and you get what? The equation? lol
