Weightlifting Exercises Out of Sync: Part II: pulls to stick

The basic premise of this exercise: one is to learn the necessary height of lifting in the pull to lift a maximum weight in the classic exercise. The height of lifting needed to fix a weight in either the snatch or the clean is determined for a given athlete. For instance, this was considered to be about sternum height for the snatch.

Elastic energy in the classic weightlifting exercises: a coupling of Physics & Physiology

there is little if anything in the literature concerning the affect of barbell oscillation/vibration on the weightlifter’s physiology; likewise, the skill to coordinate release of elastic energies from the barbell’s elastic recoil with those energies from the weightlifter’s bio – springs. The effects of barbell vibration/oscillation and deflection (bend) on weightlifting technique involves physics, physiology and the weightlifter’s skill to coordinate the two: the physics with physiology.
