“Hips extend then flex”

When?
The transition from 2nd pull to 3rd pull of the sn**ch and clean

What does this mean?
“It’s not just about violent long extension.

It’s about how you can extend and then flex again.”

In an effort to receive the bar in a strong and stable position, the hips must flex just as aggressively as they extended during the 2nd pull.

“Trunk supports the bar”

When?
Clean rack and jerk rack positions

What does this mean?
The primary similarity between the clean rack position (seen in the front squat) and the jerk rack positions is that the bar is directly supported by the trunk.

A secure connection must be made between the trunk of the lifter and the barbell to stabilize the bar and create an efficient transfer of power from the lower body.

“The Bounce” - technique for driving out of the bottom of a squat or clean

What does this mean?
“The bounce is the use of the elastic rebound at the bottom of the squat or the clean to recover from the bottom position more easily and with more speed.

It is the combination of the actual bounce of the upper leg off the lower leg, the stretch shortening reflex in the muscles of the legs and hips and the elastic whip of the bar.” - Greg Everett

“Take a seat” - inspired by Venus Weightlifting

When?
Power clean

What does this mean?
A common error during the power clean, especially for novice lifters is receive the bar with muted hip function. This posture results from the legs compensating for the hip’s failure to flex.

During the power clean, receive the bar with hips back and chest up, similar to taking a seat in a chair.

This balanced position will provide the lifter with a more stable and efficient movement pattern, especially as the weight gets heavier.

“Gotta gotta get up to get down.” - Coolio - 1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New) / picked up from Adrienne Beltz Martin

When?
Extension during the sn**ch or clean

Why?
In an effort to reach maximum power during the second pull, the athlete should reach full extension through their hips and knees.

Cueing the athlete to get ALL the way UP before they pull down under the bar may provide them with a relatable movement pattern that targets this extension.

Similar cues:
“Brush, not a bang” - picked up from 𝗩𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
“Less hump, more jump” - picked up from Sonny Webster
“Get tall before you get small” - picked up from Burgener Strength
“Hop, Drop” - picked up from Michaela Breeze - Weightlifting Technical Coach
“Finish the pull”
“Extend before you bend”

“Get mean on the receive”

When?
Clean and sn**ch

What does this mean?
The receive of the clean and sn**ch MUST be aggressive.

Similar cues:
“Trigger at your hips”
“Once the bar passes the knees… SEND IT!”
“Bat swing velocity”
“Bully the bar, don’t let the bar bully you.”
“Stick the landing”
“Time your attack”

“Dip - Drive - Sit”

When?
Push jerk

What does this mean?
A common cue for the movement sequence of the jerk is to “dip - drive - dip”. However, this is does not describe the proper torso position for the athlete during the receive.

To dip means the hips stay under the shoulders. Receiving the bar in the overhead position like this unevenly loads the quads, not the powerful posterior chain.

During the receive, the hips should sit back, similar to receiving a power clean. This movement pattern resembles a squat, not a dip.

“Barbell is the axle, elbows are the wheel”

When?
Receiving the bar during the clean

What does this mean?
This analogy, the bar as the center axis as the elbows rotate around to the front rack position, may help your lifters understand the mechanics of the clean receive.

“Walk the dog” - picked up from Brian Clarke at the NHSSCA Indiana clinic

When?
2nd pull of the clean/sn**ch

What does this mean?
Throughout the 2nd pull of the clean and sn**ch maintain the balance of the bar/body system over the feet and keep the bar as close to the body as possible.

Similar to keeping the tension on the leash of an excited dog, focus on keeping the bar close to the body throughout the upward drive.

Similar cues:
“Bar to hips, not hips to bar”
“Up not Out”
“Bar brushes belt buckle”
“Brush up your shirt”
“Rubber ball bounce”
“Pull up your sweatpants”
“Tighter is lighter”
“Less hump, more jump”
