Technique is crucial when it comes to down to weightlifing and one of the most consistent habits we see as the bar gets heavier is that athletes stop generating power off the ground with the legs and focus a bit too much on the arms pulling the bar up.
In this clip, we’re focused on giving the athlete a cue that’s going to help him transition and focus most of the energy on the push off the floor with the legs so the bar feels a bit lighter as he brings the bar up to the power position.
To keep it simple: The more leg drive you have in the initial movement of the lift, the easier the bar will get to that “leverage point”.
In weightlifting, being technically efficient will not only make an athlete look crisp, but it will also bring on the heavier weights naturally
