Thanks. I'm learning to do the Olympic lifts from your videos and book. I won't ever be that strong, since I'm 60 yr. old, but I can learn to do it right.
I think you really nailed it, some confusion can be established when recommending push press but it's hard to explain. Probably the best description I've seen thanks.
Thank you for this kind video Greg! Your channel deserve more sub. I just started into weightlifting and I'm having a problem at overhead squat position i do have long limbs, can you recommend some drills? I'm doing good for both front & back squat(mobility), there is this some kind of feeling during the overhead squat position that i can't go deeper than my normal squat position.
awesome video. I have a question: can limited mobility force me to compensate with my lower back by hyperextenting it? if i am hyperextening my back what could be the issue? Thanks!
Yes. Limited overhead mobility - shoulder and/or thoracic spine - can make lower back hyperextend in order to compensate (bends you backward to make up for shoulders not opening as much). But it can also be (or in addition to overhead immobility) from a poor split position in which back leg is too straight and/or back foot is too far back, which forces pelvis to rotate forward excessively. Focus on bracing more forcefully to maintain proper back extension regardless, but then also look into those things.

Its refreshing to watch these videos, I see so many Instagram coaches and lifters these days especially from C******t that haven’t got a scooby doo what the hell they’re doing, thanks for posting Gregg.
Are you psychic? After a 2 month lockdown, I had not done any lifting over just the bar, so I was a little worried at what I could do today. Happily I managed I was within 4kg of my 1RM, but I pressed out the last one slightly because I was a diaper baby...lol. Love the tips. Thanks Greg!
Hi Greg. My left elbow does a little wobbly motion, like its soft. Its momentary and sometimes cannot be seen in real time, however the lock out is full. Is this a technical error? Or a strength problem? I worry it wont be counted as a good lift when I compete next year. As a side note when I do push press it locks out perfectly without a noodle like wobble.
You go to catalystathletics.com and check out the videos and articles (or you can search through my RUclips acct if you have the patience) and find the resource that addresses your problem. Many reasons for a forward bar.
The worst thing in jerk lockout is practicing them with submaximal loads and really forcefully pushing the arms up while being slow to land in the split, so you just rip your shoulders and then smash on the floor.

The most informative 4 minutes of weightlifting info on RUclips.
I hope to one day be Not A Diaper Baby™
Love the "diaper baby" as a stand in for lack of commitment. Excellent video as usual!
An incredible amount of info per sec.
Definitely one of the most valuable videos for weightlifting!

How do you fix bar too forward?

Well, i'm definetly a diaper baby!

Yes... you shouldn't do that
Diaper baby...hilarious.
thank you
