  • Not to take credit away from you, but what are your "credentials" with olympic weight lifting? I only ask because I've heard different things, but I'm going to trust the more professional or experienced opinion.

  • @KillingTime6 My credentials? None at all. All of my opinions in this video are formed from reading countless Soviet books from the mid 70's to late 80's over and over again until they made sense. Recently I have talked to my own coach who has been coaching international level lifters for close to twenty years in Cuba and Venezuela with a few pan-am champions and top ten world's lifters under his belt, what he says is the same exact things I learned from the books.

  • Great video!

    Is this for the clean or the snatch? or both?

  • @aadd74 Basically it's the same for both lifts except the snatch is caught higher than the clean.

    Jerk trajectory is much simpler, straight line in dip and goes down ~10% of persons height, bar goes straight up during the drive, once the lifter begins to drop under the bar it should hook back towards the lifter to lockout.

  • Well done

  • I've seen the "line thing" and knew it was related to bar path. Didn't know anything else though. This helps a lot! Thank you.

  • @zimagee seach for "Kinovea open source"

  • Wow, good job! What software did you use to collect the motion data? I've looked at MotionAnalysis's software, but it's far too expensive and a bit of overkill for just looking at my own lifting.

  • @zimagee I made it.
