FuBarbell

Very excited to have partnered with a supplement company committed to delivering the highest quality products to the consumers. I can say that I’ve felt a huge difference in my quality of sleep, and therefore, my overall energy levels since using their vitamin D3, O3 fish oil and magnesium M3 combination.

All sports have a basic athletic stance where the body is aligned to maximize strength, power and speed. Also commonly referenced as the power position, this alignment typically places the body in a “ready state” to transition or move. Lester (@lesterhokw) is here today to discuss the principals of how this stacking occurs for weightlifting and how hitting this position well can make or break your next attempt.

Aleksey (@torokhtiy) came by earlier this week to hang out and do some training. Being able to watch the best of our world up front and personal truly allows you to appreciate the details of good technique. Today, we give you a little insight on how to get closer to unlocking your weightlifting greatness.

The Jerk Receiving Position.

The way you receive your jerk is directly related to the way you dip. Having a good dip position and transferring that into your jerk receiving position will determine the stability you will achieve overhead.

The hips are a powerful generator when it comes to force production, but that by itself will not be enough to deliver the power in the right direction. For the productive application of force, learning how to pair the knees with the hips will get the bar moving up so you can get yourself moving down.

Producing Vertical Force.

It is definitely not wrong to say that the hips are producing force in the second pull. However, this extension of the hips is often mistaken as the sole proponent of increasing velocity of the bar.
