Matt Bruce: The 3 Phases of The Pull
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
