RDL, Hang Clean Pulls, Hang Clean Complex

Yahhhhhhh Buddy thanks for viewing Chest bump, Chest bump, sorry it’s been so long since posting a vid, seasons been crazy looking forward to making a run at the Pac-10 tournament this week. GO BEARS! On to the complex, these three exercises are great to use as a complex to activate hamstrings, glutes, posterior chain. Use to warm-up your athletes as 3×4, keep the amount of weight low to help maximize correct movement. Constantly remind the athlete to keep bar close to body, weight on the heels, and to visualize hamstrings stretching during RDL portion of exercise. Thanks for viewing create a great day! -Coach T

Teaching the movement patterns of the Snatch with the “Snatch Complex”

Continuing with “Complex’s” I thought I’d bring the “Snatch Complex” to the forefront, an amazing tool in teaching and strengthening the movement patterns used in the snatch and hang snatch. An explosive exercise and when done correctly can have carryover to all playing fields. Keep the volume at 3×6 reps this will ensure the athletes will stay with a weight that they can handle. Some verbal coaching points for your athletes, set the back, arms straight, elbows pointed out, weight on heels, vision straight ahead, hip drive, heels down, posterior chain locked out. Thanks for viewing, create a great day!! -Coach T

Teaching the Power Clean with the “clean pull, clean” complex

Here is an easy progression for your athletes in teaching the concepts/movements of the power clean. Complex’s are great to throw into your athletes training program early on to help strengthen the areas needed when performing a clean. It also helps to insure that your athlete doesn’t load the bar with a ton of weight before they can actually get the movement down properly. Enjoy and create a great day!!! -Coach T

3×6 reps
