The Rogue Bar

I love how he gets straight to the Point

[embrace_the_void]

i love the olympic lifts because theyre so explosive yet theyre the biggest confidence crushers out there, props to those who have stuck with them from the start, if i could go back i sure and do that i sure as hell would

Thank you very much. The instructor in the video looks a professional and his body language and tonality suggests that he knows his stuff.

[alexanderreyes]

Thanks for getting right into the tutorial! Because of that I'm following!

[jeff_in_ok]

Thanks for the Vid. good explanation, no BS. Well done!

[Sean-howd]

Nice technique, in this video the demonstrator held his breath for the whole movement until letting go of the weight at the end. It is important to breathe through the motions. In from the ground to your shoulders, and out from your shoulders to the Jerk. Thanks for posting.

i m trying to learn those moves it is normal that i feel tension on the back when i pass under the bar ?? thanks

[repsilia]

This vid was awesome, I’ll actually know what I’m doing today at the gym

[MiketheNerdRanger]

Thanks for getting right into it!
I do have to ask, is there a way to put it down without chokeslamming it to hell?

[martinwakefield]

gotta remind em bro, it's a GYM. :) keep bangin it out

[LAKimba]

Kinetic chain is kinda off in this video.  No calf raise.  All shrug used to clean the bar.  Nonetheless, strong guy to shrug that up.

There is a clip of Pyrros Dimas training in his later years and he just shoots the bar up from the ground immediately over head, totally skipping the middle phase.

Why didn't i watch the video yesterday? I could have caught the movement flow easier for the WOD (6 Power C&J and 6 Power Snatch alternating between exercises EMOM during 12 minutes). I already knew and had the power Clean and Jerk under control, and the full C&J, but repping them is as intense as it can get...

Is the split stance at the top optional/ preference? Noticed your feet stayed parallel to each other

[heatherva]

Is this the same as a power clean and push jerk?

[MAGACOPP]

I don't know a gym that will mind me dropping the weight like that

[sulkoma]

There's no full extension with this guys clean. A real clean, power or full clean would involve full extension onto the toes with a full shrug and your hands coming inside to keep the bar path straight & it isn't explained, but you can split your feet out sideways with the power jerk to both make it easier to get under the bar faster but also to have a more stable frame.

You can see at 28 seconds he extends a little on his toes and shrugs a little with his shoulders.. but it's nowhere near full extension. You can see a tiny bit of swing to the bar too, if you look at that 28 second point, you want to curl your hands in toward yourself & this will reduce the swing & make the lifts a lot easier at heavy weight. A straighter bar path is key.

Maybe think to extend on the toes quickly followed by the shrug with your hands inside at the same time, all done so fast that you could even just try practice it all as one movement. Guarantee you will notice a positive difference.

But hey that's just my opinion, I'm no expert. Not trying to be negative her at all so don't jump down my throat :)

[PereznoJones]

Why do you let the bar roll back onto your fingertips at the finish of the power clean then readjust before racking for the jerk?

[Mugoffice]

Bang Bro, I got headphones on and I got deafened.

[agagathe]

Could you please explain the difference between clean and jerk and cluster?
