these blokes have got some power

i'm not a serious weightlifter so i probably shouldn't even comment, but this form, the power jerk just looks really dangerous and looks like their shoulders are going burst at any second

[mistaspensa]

@jumar1281 it does look very dramatic indeed - which is why the isometric contraction of the trapezius and rhomboids are crucial to the stability of the shoulder joint. oly lifter spend hours breaking down the stages of the lift to address weaknesses, and oftentimes they find the "catch" as a hot spot for error. as far as danger goes, it can be: but like any compound lift a smart athlete starts light and trains up as he gets stronger. its one of the many reasons why oly lifting is exciting

gotta love the squat jerk. so much drama

Been watching alot of these for inspiration on how to fix my grip problems and to make my stance more stable and quick during the clean phase. Intresting watch all in all but really good for inspiration for my C&J. Thanks you for posting!

tigran g martirosyans' bio-mechanics seems quite bad. his knees track medially inwards. no wonder his knees are strapped up. i find it quite confusing that some one of such a high level would do that?

[captainjosue]

@bobbyatopk While it's a good observation his knees are tracking internally. As long as they are tracking internally on the concentric lift of the clean recovery he's going to be safe. Most ACL injuries happen because the knee tracks internally on the eccentric phase of a landing which is not good for the knees. Zhang Guozheng does the same thing again and again and he's never hurt his knees.

Great upload...and lots of power jerking going on.  Lu's got a DEEP form on that jerk -- very interesting to watch.

[LayEmOut60]

@sethhersch I love his form. I find it to be very effective providing you have proper flexibility. I think it just flat out looks awesome too.

I still feel sorry for Jae-Hyouk. It was sooo close.
