I'm new to all of this. I realised my problem is that I can't do a full clean with light weight, the bar comes up too high. If I try to to not lift the bar too high, I can't get hip contact. And so, every clean is a power clean, and I can't see any way to progress to a full clean without doing myself a mischief lifting weights I've no business attempting.

I've always wondered what "knee over second toe" exactly means. My second toe is tiny and my knee is huge and has a lot of different boney protrusions. I can come up with a pile of different "knee over second toe" positions that would be equally arguable. I'm not quite sure what part of the knee do I aim on the second toe.

But what about my hip anatomy, long femurs, non-asian and too tall for squatting genetics?

I’ve basically done this, without being taught, before every squat/deadlift since I was 16. I’m gonna start a UA-cam channel now.

As always; concise and precise, Greg. Thank you.

You mean you dont have to do 100 screenings, look at hip anatomy and then steal content from other people to find my squat "university" stance?

Thanks for the excellent videos! Whilst acknowledging the best Rock-Stars don't take requests, if you did have a requests list (!!) I would love a video on back extension and bracing. Is there such a thing as too much back extension? And can too much extension compromise bracing? Can you be fully extended and fully braced at the same time? I wonder if I need to go further still with mobility training. I've read many of your excellent articles on the website on this but visual reference would be amazing. (I'm speaking as someone who does not have access to good in-person coaching - rural area - so am eternally grateful for online content. I just lift for pleasure and and love the movements, but do enjoy building to new PBs too).

Excellent video! 🙌

Great video as always! I have a question: how do I improve my shoulder blade mobility? My left scapula feels a bit stiff, especially when overhead, and I struggle to engage my left lat

I utilize the Tall Muscle Snatch with my athletes all the time to help them develop that portion of the Snatch. It's a highly effective tool. Thanks for the share.

This is what I needed in my life!!! Thank you Greg!

This guy answers all my questions before I even need to ask 😂

thanks a lot, this seems useful in helping prevent my intercostal pain - probably it's a misaligned vertebra that causes it, let's have a try :-)

👌

Does the upper back have a role to play in keeping it close to the legs? Should the lats be firing in the first pull?

This looks helpful. Thanks for the suggestions.

Why flexible PVC and not stiff pole or pipe. The gems that I have frequented over the years never had flexible pipes for this type of activity

63 and best in my life since 17; 5-6 workouts / week, but yes dial it down 2 of those days. Keep moving.

In any time thumb pain stop? In my case the hook grip it hurt only in snatch but in cleans I have no problems no pain at all!

I got some questions and I would like u to help me with it! During my leg drive in split jerk my knees goes forward even if I have my whole feet in contact with the floor! Why does that happen and how should I correct that?

This is *EXACTLY* what I needed! I'm new to snatch lifts and am struggling to hit the deep catch. Thank you!

Wow this is so impressive! great squat! Respect!

Hahahahah eu não sei se vou precisar de um favor pra mim por favor me manda o número do seu pai e o pai do filho da minha mãe e a gente não vai dar certo não

I am about to click play and am hoping the answer is "No".

I was under the impression that you should squeese your back during the whole lift.

I appreciate the straight talk!

Where did you get that sled and rope? I need a 2'' thick pulling rope and i cannot find it anywhere...

I am an asslete

Disagree. Cardio training provides the strength athlete with an increased work capacity. With an increase in capacity, the athlete can execute workouts with more volume because of the increase in endurance. Over doing will clearly impact your lifting ability. Crossfit is zone 4-5 training. Regular 3 x week zone 2 training (25 - 40 minutes) will help the weightlifter.

Another bonus for surfing...Split Jerk helps my drop-knee turns!

My pulls not the problem, problem is in my catch… i don’t even think it’s technical…. I think I’ve just become a wuss in my later years… lol 😂 (20 year old me would drop my butt to my heels and catch an elephant without hesitation) Now, I could pull a bar to my chest height and still not get under it…. Brain says NOPE! 👎🏽 😢😅

I've noticed on my Snatch DeadLifts that the bar travels on a diagonal from the ground towards my Hips, the bar isn't looping around the knees as well so Im not sure what im doing. Is that norma, or is the aim for the snatch deadlift to have the bar go straight upwards like a normal snatch? And if so, how would I fix the issue? Thanks

My dip get's deeper and deeper the heavier the weight- and I'd like to transition to elastic dip. Any tips? I do have jerk blocks and I was thinking to set them high so that I would keep the dip shallow. #jerklikelydiavalentin PS love Primus

Thank you for this video! I hate cardio and encourage myself to do it by telling myself "If Greg Everett can do cardio, then so can I" as I have seen vids of you doing outdoor cardio-type activity. With your tips here, I will modify how I do cardio so that it does not detract from my weightlifting and hopefully be less hateful to me 😄

The last variation is a gem!

I found a personal trainer that’s good at the cleaning jerk, but she’s not great at snatching, but she is opening up my hips and strengthening my lats. I can actually get into the position and which triple extension get the bar above my head in the overhead squat position, but I can’t get deep into the squat yet, today was the first day I implemented the snatch balance so I’m gonna be using this movement a lot to teach myself how to get under the bar but I’ve come to the conclusion either. I need to find a CrossFit gym or find someone that certified in Olympic weightlifting

Oh man! I came to youtube expecting to have to watch 4 different 15 min videos to get this question answered. Quick and to the point, no bullshit, and it works. Immediate subscribe from me

Thanks Greg.

Greg is pretty jacked!!! Looking good sir!!

I just try to do my lighter volume work, faster, to keep my heart rate up. I find that’s the least disruptive way to improve my heart and lung capacity. It’s not possible when I’m moving to heavier doubles and singles, but it’s doable with lower percentage rep work in the snatch, and with my squats. I find that it’s quite taxing with the C&J, and I tend not to use variations of the C&J for “fitness”. But that’s about as close to cardio as I typically get.

my left arm gets into a front rack position fine, even at the botto mof the squat. My right arm on the other hand, my elbow and rost drop and i get wrist pain

would be really interesting to hear your thoughts on weightbuilding (weightlifting+bodybuilding) programing in a one off video. This would probably be geared more towards hobbyist, since it would be for fun more so than training optimally for one or the other modality. The thing is there is a lot of resources on powerbuilding but not so much weightbuilding, feels like a niche within a niche. Great video!

Thank you for explaining this to me. I had never considered the artery issue combined with the strain. I had to stop squatting because of this issue, and it's the best exercise. Leg press is ok, but nowhere near as effective. I'll try elevating my shoulders and making noise as I breathe out upon lifting to see if this helps. Im heading out to try this now.

quick and dirty. thats what we like

aha, so circuit training is the key. 🙏🏼

I'm super weak but my cardio is lighter clean&jerks or snatches for high reps

very clear, as always

Lesbos and weights... that's enough stupid shit on UA-cam shorts for today!🤣

I recommend swimming if it’s convenient. It’s great for injury prevention and mobility, and can build some pretty damn good cardio without over stressing your muscles. Your shoulders will be very sore for the first few days though, speaking from experience.
