Matt Bruce: The 3 Phases of The Pull

May 18, 2022 by

Let’s talk Olympic Lifting. 

You’ll never throw up Olympic-level weight if you don’t have the basics of form down. Train correctly from the beginning, and you’ll change the future of your lifts. 

There are 3 phases to a good, effective pull: 

  • 1st pull: 
    • Mid-shin position to the knee
  • 2nd pull:
    • Knee position to the hip (power position)
  • 3rd pull:
    • Hip position to the jump shrug (triple extension)

Dive a little deeper into these phases with Matt Bruce, Olympic Weightlifting National Champion. He breaks it down in detail to help you gain explosive power through proper form.

Happy lifting,

Matt
