Mastering the Clean and Jerk: What You’ll Learn
For some, the Clean & Jerk might the more accessible of the two Olympic lifts to start with, but the true mastery of this Olympic lift is still a challenge for many. The two parts of the lift (clean and jerk) may seem so different; but each part of the lift relies on the other to be successful!
On Saturday, December 1, from 11:30-2:30pm, Coach Steve Swistak will be coming to CrossFit Salus and TripleX Weightlifting to provide a comprehensive breakdown of the Clean & Jerk. Experienced and specialized, Steve prioritizes being a developmental coach. In this clinic, he will will share his knowledge, focusing on individual drills, to help you refine your own technique.
Breaking it All Down
In this clinic, we’ll break down the parts of the Clean & Jerk including:
- Precision and technique in all phases of the lift
- The timing of the Clean
- Using the hips and legs
- Rack position and mobility
- Leg drive & position in the Jerk
- Speed under the bar
- Split position stability & consistency
- Putting It All Together
No doubt, each Olympic lift requires skill, speed and mobility – in addition to strength. In this Clean and Jerk Clinic with Steve Swistak, you will lift heavy by the end of the day, but, before you go, you’ll get specific insight on what you’ll need to focus on in order to improve your lifts in the coming weeks following this clinic.
