Aleksey Torokhtiy (105) - 230kg Clean and Jerk Slow Motion

[andrewlucas]

Thanks so much for this slow motion video. It makes such a huge difference in understanding the olympic clean. The power clean is caught so high, literally standing up, compared to this lift. OC is the epitome of efficiency! The video allows you to see that the bar is caught just barely (a couple inches) above the lowest position in the squat. You really get a sense of how these guys are throwing themselves under the bar at the exact right moment. For me I was always thinking I needed to get the bar so high in order to be successful, but you only need to get the bar high enough to get UNDER the bar, and if you have full mobility and flexibility, it is doable. At 50, I still easily go ATG in front squat with bodyweight (+) so I am not out of the game yet. Time to buy some bumpers and fulfill a lifelong dream!

Knee sleeves around ankles, no belt....so casual.

Watch how much space he leaves between his knee and the barbell compared to other lifters at his level...the fact that he can stay balanced and then use that extra space for a powerful contact, and still drive the bar upright, for a high clean pull at this weight is insane. Then the leg strength just speaks for itself. Unbelievable athlete.

that clean makes my light saber swole if u know what i mean

[sakutuomainen]

Its amazing how much lower back leans forward and upper back cuts straight up at jerk. And Lasha have always round lower back, belly and belt supporting spine.. Contrast between us and much we are individuals are so huge!!

Clean and power jerk and a good and learnful slow motion

[khmak]

What is the reason for power jerking a lighter weight instead of more plates with a full squat jerk?

[tommyharris]

What frames per second is the slow motion recording?

[roguestatus]

Красава!!! с хорошей скоростью и запасом!!!

[bandostyle]

So he do a transition between the clean and the jerk from hook grip to regular grip? (Sorry if its obvious, novice here)

[TheMiniWumbo]

I love Aleksey, but holy crap this makes Tian god-tier. 230 is becoming regular for Tian so 236 is that much more mind-blowing.

[leexu]

his ankles looks VERY swolen, is he okay?

[IhorKramarenko]

Только за счет силы. Техника слабая. С такой силой на высшем уровне техники можно еще кг 20 накинуть точно. В любом случае толкнуть такой вес это огромная работа над собой, но факта очень плохой техники это не отменяет
