Let's discuss the extension phase (and the pull) of the lift

This phase is where you generate bar height and power in the movement. During this phase, you need to focus on driving the feet downwards (akin to a vertical jump). Naturally, the hips, ankles and knees will extend powerfully.

It is important that you keep driving vertically, especially with the upper body (drive with the elbows upwards), while thinking about snapping the knees straight (this helps provide the bar with direction). It is also important that you keep the bar in the pocket (hip crease) until you finish extension. Only once you've finished the extension phase should you start the actual pull.

Sn**ch starting position (from the floor):
If your starting position is off, the rest of the lift is going to suck. The start position is the most important to allow for a proper bar path, correct rhythm and tempo for the sn**ch.

What are the most important elements?

You need to make sure the shoulders are over the bar, with the bar over midfoot- this will ensure that the bar travels in the correct path (you'll engage your quads properly too).

In the first pull, the arms should be relaxed- this will ensure proper leg usage

Bar should be touching the shins (but not too hard that you scrape your entire shins off)

Face upwards- this will help direct the bar upwards

Hips anchored into position- push the hips back amd down into position (make sure the bar does not move forward or backwards- the shins should just meet the bar)

Before lifting the bar, make sure you breathe in such that you are about to get punched in the gut. You should aim to make sure the bar feels heavy in the hands (this means all the slack has taken out of the bar)

The four basic pillars of weightlifting:

1. Positioning: POSITION IS EVERYTHING IN WEIGHTLIFTING (determines the efficiency of the lift)

2. Tempo, rhythm, and timing: timing and speed of the different phases of the movement (footwork and movement sequence, being patient but explosive). Positioning is vital as it keeps the sequence and timing of the movements correct. It is important to be patient to ensure that you don't throw off your positioning.

3. Bar path: keeping the bar close to the body and moving in an appropriate trajectory such that the bar finishes in the correct position (if your pulling and extension positions are off, the bar will kick forward and you'll either jump forward or you'll miss. Poor positioning CAN (not always) result in you jumping back)

4. Hips and quads- quads give the movement direction, while hips give it power.

Today, we are going to talk about setting a good routine. Setting a good routine will help you stay on track with your goals and give you direction for your training.

When setting a routine, you should always set aside time to train. Find a time that makes training sustainable. Make sure you block out school and work times as well to make this easier. Even if its only 30 mins, it is better than not doing anything.
- If this is early in the morning, set your training to early in the morning. Make sure you get out of bed ASAP.
- If this is in the evenings after work, set time to train in the afternoons. Make sure you go straight to the gym after work.

To set a good routine, you will need to be organised and have everything packed. For best results, try and have everything packed the night before, so you are not rushed in the mornings to get organised.

Remember, a routine must be consistent. If your routine is not sustainable, you will not be able to remain consistent.
