👇one drill to fix your Olympic Weightlifting👇

Two of the biggest mistakes I see in Olympic weightlifting are no hip contact or the completely wrong hip contact and the problem is they’re both equally bad.

No hip contact, loss of power, no chance to ever get to close to potential max weights and lack of straight bar path.

Hip to bar contact turns it into a swing movement therefore taking the bar away from you. When it’s lighter it’ll let you get a bit of improvement but as soon as you need to be more accurate you’ll get stopped in your tracks.

You need to think about getting to triple extension (as if you were jumping) before you pull on the bar. If you do this the bar will contact the hip but the power will be directed upwards, in line with the correct bar movement meaning you’ll reach your potential much quicker.

So, basically, you need to make contact but don’t hump the bar 😂 and you’ll see much much quicker progress.

👇two tricks to help your bar muscle ups👇

One tip for all your gymnastics and one for the bar muscle ups.

Number 1, if your kip is flapping rather than pinging back and forth then you need to tighten it up and create the chance for potential energy transfers rather than momentum and hoping for the best.

Number 2, a chest to bar for a bar muscle up is not the same as that of a chest to bar for a workout. For a workout we only need to get below the collar bone. For the bar muscle up you want to pull to below the pecs.

This is simple because you can then just worry about getting the elbows over.
