Analysis Clean Bar Path 140 kilo

[DebbieD]

I just looked at a bar path of a clean I did last night and it looks much like yours, Whitney, without the hitch (no s, but straight through). Are you guys saying that even without the hitch, the path is still not ideal?

Also, Sorry to hear about your accident!

my path is not ideal in the first pull because it doesn't have the classic "scoop" shape.

i'd have to see yours to know what yours looks like

Is this bar pathway correct? I think Not quite.

If you are going to start the bar so far away from yourself (bar seems to be lined up over the tip of your toes)

If you start from this position you better be more aggressive in starting it back right from the start position as well as keeping your shoulders a little more over the bar
Note the incline rearwards from start in diagram from Russian textbook

I don't believe you can be trying to move the bar horizontally back once it has passed your knees(at this stage the body moves to bar,unlike the first pull), this would be the hitch in the pathway (big red arrow)
From Robert Roman

Heavy line is ideal, line 4 is a MISS or success by chance
Some real world examples(sorry V Bulletin only allows 4 inline images)

A good confidence builder is how high you've pulled the bar compared to your bottom position.....we should all be so lucky.

Whitney you've a hellava lifter with great strength, I am sure you’ll make your 150kg. I thought you trained with Thrush? I'd listen to the old man, oops I meant to say Obi-Wan.
cheers Rob

btw, i have that exact same sketch in my book. is yours one of the charniga translations? great stuff!

I had no idea you could measure speed with Kinova. That's awesome!! Thanks for being such a physics nerd
