In this week's Olympians' Tips video, US-American Weightlifter CJ Cummings shows you how to improve your weightlifting Clean technique! The Clean is the first step in the Clean and Jerk. If you have a bad Clean, it is most likely that you will have a bad Jerk because they go hand- in hand.
Short Recap for the Clean:
1) Always make sure you have a hook grip
2) You wanna have a narrow grip
3) Back flat and chest up for starting the Clean
4) Make sure to keep the bar close and elbows up
Once you've done that you have a perfect Clean and you are ready for the jerk!

CJ: "Take a narrow grip like this."
Also CJ: Grabs bar wider than Lasha

[@henrylj2660]

Thanks to always nice to learn from a champion!

[@zackbemish1929]

Cool video thank you. I think the game changer for me when learning how to clean, was when I learned footwork, and how to catch in a power position. Rest was just practice and getting consistent enough to where I don't have to think about it, and to be able to go at it with confidence.

[@Andonitrainer]

do you make contact with the barbell above or below the balls? thank you

[@magoomba]

Below the balls. On the upper thigh

[@PootyTangGaming]

Above if you got big dong

[@ericchild3816]

@@PootyTangGaming 🤣🤣

[@hrsmp]

Mid thigh contact for clean and clean grip snatch. Between your balls and belly button for regular snatch

[@brandonboodoo]

On the balls

Hi CJ great video thanks

[@pbshakegains]

Appreciate this

[@jimandrews4261]

and make sure you reach triple extension (ankles, knees, hips) which generates the power

Gracias por la traducción

[@monster4223]

I never thought of using a hook grip with this lift... geez I'm such a douche

[@cyandog9067]

Can he do a hook grip tutorial. My hands are small. His grip looks like a better version of mine.

[@elkyrjamalaininen4445]

thank you

이 영상은 소개한다 일반인들에게 역도를,
그러니까 이것을 참고 해야한다 이것이 조금의 기술이라는 것을.
너는 급하게 해석하지마라 영상을, 이 영상은 충분히 의미 있다.

[@Downbad6460]

I find my knees hurting after lifting am I doing something wrong?

[@cyjjn]

Keep notice of your feet; make sure your toes are not facing sideways. If you look carefully, you'll notice CJ'S feet are pointed *straight* towards the camera.

[@evagenesiz7802]

@@cyjjn straight feet are not always the right it depend on a person build

[@seth_acero4706]

Could be related to tightness in the hips and ankle. Work on loosening and mobilizing your hips and ankles and it should take some tension off the knees.

How do I not hit my Johnson

reupload?

[@loveflink4334]

Ironic

[@guepas6470]

Stopped watching when he said “dont arch your back”

[@ashemleibakngambamoirangch5416]

What don't arch????

[@Sam-ni6bc]

No hes stupid he meant to say dont slump your back but arch it

[@klebersonnn]

@@Sam-ni6bc no, you don’t want to arch because you would probably force your lumbar spine into extension which will most definitely weaken your position and increase injury risk. Something tells me you probably know less about c+j technique than an olympian

[@PootyTangGaming]

Straight as possible

[@kk4649k]

Iono man I felt like what he’s saying is not true to what he’s doing . Like don’t arch your back, his back is hella bent. Don’t grip wide. His grip is hella wide .
Maybe not the best video for people to watch and try and learn off of.

[@ljc1278]

Arching the other way as in lower back rounding

[@chayson6974]

Arching the other way as in rounding bro smh, and not everybody has the lat, wrist, or shoulder mobility to go incredibly narrow like Clarence Kennedy.

[@christianwijaya6906]

Unfortunately CJ Performance on Tokyo 2020 was very Under Perform from his best when he broke Junior World Record at -73kg Class .Even now All 3 CJ Record had been broken by Indonesia🇮🇩 Lifter Rizky Juniansyah

[@xarisonplay7948]

not a beautiful technique

[@zach3541]

Xarison Play true

[@sifcnm]

a pretty effective one though

[@totopolo2379]

do you make eye contact with your boyfriend before the jerk or after?

[@totopolo2379]

he needs to learn from
the greatest first before teaching something

[@ty88]

Hard to understand him.
