I've really started finding my strengths in olympic weightlifting over the last few sessions, which kind of reached a peak today with my snatch. Once I managed to get over the mental barrier of throwing >70kg over my head everything just fell into this groove and I could stick with a lift as opposed to "clarking it". Also, Miles thought I was doing full cleans and hence was very surprised when I power cleaned 105kg roffs. Fronties felt pretty easy oddly enough.
What is clarking it
ReplyDeleteIt's like when you lift the bar off the ground, it comes to your hips and you shrug and then just don't commit and it just falls back in front of you without you even attempting to go under it. I think it's due to leaning back too much and ruining the shrug, or in my case, not being mentally strong enough to just trust yourself.
