A great advantage of pulling the lifts from different heights allows the athlete to shore up weaknesses and learn how to apply greater speed from a reduced line of action.

The below the knee position is often a pesky problem for most lifters still unfamiliar with how to forcefully push the knees back and negotiate this landmark.

To help remediate this issue, a couple double or triples at a good working weight either before and/or after the main practice session will help pump in some good volume towards building better movement pathways.

The tempo of a well executed jerk will have the back foot landing momentarily before the front foot finishes grounding. This maneuver acts as an anchor to push the body forward underneath the upward driven barbell.

High bar or low bar back squat? Where do you rack?

While tradition and conventionalism favor the high bar back squat in Olympic-style weightlifting. The low bar back squat lends value in developing systemic strength.

While positions can be made for or against either style, any exercise that is not the snatch, clean&jerk is merely a tool. Used intelligently, these tools can all be used to create a well rounded and robust program for the intended athlete.

When I’m old and retired, I’ll be sitting on a bench under a willow tree telling stories of how I used to talk about weightlifting sitting on a bench under a barbell.

Candid shots are the best. Thanks @paddygriffin and @dancefightlift.

Good overhead receiving position has the athlete supporting the barbell down the middle of the body using the joint structures to create a sturdy rack. Any deviation from this stacked posture will result in the forces around the joints to not be centrated and cause the athlete to lose efficiency in supporting the weight.
