We needed a part two of sn**ch warmups 😆, if you missed the post on making contact with the bar scroll back a few posts.
Let’s talk early arm bend! This is a super common problem I see especially with new lifters because they feel like the need to use their arms to pull the bar, when really you’re using your legs to push the weight.
I use these two warmups very often in my class warmups because they can help feel the timing of your arms and legs extending together and then bending together. Keep in mind, the timing is a little different in the actual lift but exaggerating it like this can help create a new mind body connection to break that habit of pulling with the arms first.
