Crackys pretty much hit the nail on the head with this; I’ve been doing my
masters and focusing on snatch kinetics and kinematics. Most of the
research supports these bar paths. Look at Stone, Gourgoulis, Campos, Chiu,
Garhammer for opinions from people with “credentials.”

thank you so much for the analysis. our coach keeps saying make it a
straight line but i know it’s not straight. im a beginner and just
searching and learning stuff. according to your analysis, does Xiaojun Lu
has the backward tendency, esp the 1st lift? but his form looks perfect to
me… no? youtube.com/watch?v=Etpg_PfFiZ8 thanks again for your time

@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.

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.

I found a beginner’s trajectory but not due to over thrusted hips during
second pull but rather by giving the second pull way down the hip.

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.

good video!

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.

Great video! Is this for the clean or the snatch? or both?

@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.
