Good luck to all the lifters at Nationals its kicking off at 9am with Leigh M:) Then Gouldy at 3pm. Come out to watch some lifting and support the Dunedin Crew.
It will be a great opportunity for all of our members to have a look at some really good lifters and watch what they do during the different phases of a lift. You have all been coached how to do the lifts and you have worked on them yourself. Now this would be a great time to watch other lifters go through them.
When you watch the lifters don’t try to pick up subtle things individual lifters do as they are specific to them and might not work for you. What I am talking about is look at general things that all the lifters do well. For both snatch and c&j:
- They start the first pull strong and under control (watch the position they start in),
- In the second pull how they keep the bar super close to the body and they hit Full extension.
- In the third pull of the snatch how fast they get under the bar and lock their arms out strong and keep their torso upright.
- In the c&j how fast they get under the bar and keep their elbows high as they catch the bar on the shoulders and stand it like a front squat.
- And for the Split jerk lifters how fast they get get to their split and how big the split position actually is.
Apart from obviously coming out to cheers for the lifters, that is what you should be doing if you want to be a better lifter, Take Notes. So I am hoping to see a lot of you out there over the course of the weekend.
