TRI have big feelings about this ok 😅🤣
If you are struggling with an early arm bend, you’re pulling the bar up with your arms instead of relying on your legs to move the bar.
⬆️Your legs job is to move the bar up
⬇️Your arms job is to move your body down.
If you yank the bar up like that, you can’t pull yourself down.
High pulls have a place, but if you’re pulling early and pulling the bar up instead of moving yourself down, the high pull is just reinforcing the wrong positions.
Instead, focus on finishing the bar with your shoulders. You’ll most likely have a slight bend in the arm because of the vertical momentum of the bar, but it’s not a big pull up.
When you go to do a snatch, whether it’s a power or a squat, focus on the arms and legs, extending together, and then bending together to move yourself into the catch position.
👉🏻What are your thoughts? Do you agree or disagree?
