  • Is this the Reading Uni gym?

  • @Selestiel It is - before I hounded them into buying the Eleiko training set.

  • No offense, but it looks like you're swinging the bar away from you. You may or may not be but if you are, it will hold you back from higher weight.

  • Yeah I am/was. First session and all that.

  • Slightly strange question but what weightlifting shoes are you wearing? looking at getting some myself, just weighing up the options!

  • Adidas Ironwork II

  • @ninearms Cool, i used to work there as a fitness instructor back in 2007. :)

  • Glad you realized or knew that because I JUST recently figured out that I was swinging the bar away and started "flipping" it and my form has increased enormously.

  • Drop snatches and broomhandle drills will fix that right up for you. Do a behind-the-neck jerk with an empty bar, snatch-gripped, then squat down as low as you can comfortably go while keeping an arch and your hands over your head, but not behind it...

    Hold the position for a few seconds before coming up. This will "learn" you... you might want to start with a broomhandle.

  • I've whacked myself in the chin a few times when I was learning to clean & jerk...somehow managed to avoid it snatching so far, although I've done about 3 sessions to date so plenty of time! Definitely need to remind myself to lead with my head!

    Shoulder flexibility's not quite there for squat snatching yet though. Damn benching!
