Squat University
Let’s breakdown the technique of this missed clean. The first thing to notice in his start position is his shoulders are too far back behind the bar. As he pulls the bar from the ground his hips rise faster than the chest, allowing a little separation from the bar. This causes him to jump forward and receive the barbell in a poor position – missing the lift.❌
.
Here’s some recommended fixes by 2x Olympian Chad Vaughn. Start with a clean deadlift with a SLOW lift off and pause just above the knee on the way up to help isolate the faulty portion of the lift (during the pause think “chest up” so that the chest rises in sync and not slower than the hips)…also pause on the way down to strengthen the reverse action of the lift. Athletes who have issues with correct coordination during the pull phase, often have problems with the slow reverse action as well, either shifting back onto their heels, or squatting the bar back down.❌
.
Follow this up with another clean, again pausing at the knee to ensure proper positioning. Perform this sequence for any clean up to ~70% during workouts.✅
.
The takeaway with a fault like this is to SLOW the movement down so that you learn complete control over the lift.🏋🏼‍♀️

Shout out to @bendukes for being the athlete model (we’ll check back in with him soon to see how these fixes go) & to @olychad for the collaboration in making this post🙏🏼
