The other problem with the squat jerk (aside from incredible mobility in shoulders and not being able to save the lift when it’s out in front and not in the slot) is that some guys think they can power jerk and they get driven into a full squat when they don’t have the leg strength to rise. How many times have you seen a guy have the bar locked at arms length descend into full squat do an outstanding job of keeping it locked but simply not be able to rise? True power jerkers like Kakishvilli and David Benzanyan locked out well above parallel and were never forced into an impossible bottom position. I’m not saying they never missed a jerk however.
This is probably her first pair of flopped lifts in a competitikn(although she’s a guest here). She’s a great lifter but I hope these mistakes don’t affect her confidence. They could have pushed her to lift the 148 at another comp(Olympics maybe?she’s more than strong enough)
The question you must ask yourself in deciding squat jerk/split jerk is “Is my name Lu Xiaojun ?). If you answer yes, you may squat jerk, everyone else must split.
Lu was a historical legend that comes one time in the life but also Olivia is going to be another legend I bet on that she is an Iron Woman may God protect her from injuries
Of course Dimas was extraordinary. What I meant by the Lu comment was that nobody could match Lu Xiaojuns bottom position, hands close together,rock bottom position. Get ahold of the 2019 worlds comp vid where he sets records with an injured back in the cl&jk to beat a healthy Li Dayin literally getting off the floor having his back iced to win. Straight up ballsiest thing I’ve witnessed in watching/ participating in sports for more than half a century.
Nah there was nothing wrong with her doing her split jerk. The majority of these lifters do split jerk. I just think her back leg she let go too far out behind her #1 and #2 her body just gave out bc of the heavy weight. I have no doubt that she will make that record attempt again and she'll be successful this time. I mean shit she's only 20 years old. Bright future.
Such a cool story in the making, she in the only US athlete that is not a complete douchebag, has a real shot at a medal in Paris and can totally win it in 2028 in the States!
@@johndoherty-hh2ck RUclips deleted my comment but I don’t understand where this guy got his view from….none of the IS team are douchebags or maybe they’re differnet in real life and not on camera
Olivia 148 Clean&Jerk was better than her 145 ,Maybe cuz she didn't get more than 2 Minutes Rest Back to Back Attempt unlike IWF Doha 2023 .Leg Strength no Problem but Jerk was the Issue
US state department couldn't guarantee athlete safety in Venezuela so they were invited to lift in Europe instead and accepted. They can't medal but all their lifts will count towards Olympic qualifications.
To me it looks like she was just out of breath and her CNS shut down. Common occurence in the male categories, especially in the heavy/super heavy weightclass, especially when you don't have much time between lifts like it was for her here.
Squat jerking is not easier, it demands the bar be placed perfectly overhead and incredible mobility demands, whereas a split jerk has more room for error and can be more stable. China etc do more power and squat jerks because of their shorter legs on average compared to westerners. It's also just the technical model they follow.
It's not a split squat. It's called a clean n jerk. The other way your talkin about ("squat jerk") is actually called a power jerk. Some do it that way but they're very few.
@@WatchMeLiftt67 hey hey maybe they haven't heard of power jerking yet. I bet they'd be happy to learn about this new style that would be Perfect for Olivia
that's why i hate split jerk and prefer squat jerk and it makes sense because you put the weight on two legs than one leg and she is goddamn so strong she is a tank it would be better for her to squat jerk
It is the mindset: Women never suitable with Squat Jerk. But the Chinese women are doing it ( some of them ) and I think we will see more female squat jerker in future
@@benchgoblin maybe you are right but I guess her body is normal if she take off the built you will see that and as long as her back muscles and Rectus abdominis muscles are strong would be an advantage
"The US State Department launched a level 4 do not travel advisory for Venezuela due to the political situation in the country, which makes it unsafe for the athletes and for all other citizens overall.

So close... what a force she's going to be.
148...... as a junior..... let that sink in.
Olivia’s legs are sooo long, her squat impresses me so much because of this.
Incredible mobility
how tall is she?
Terrific stuff she is gonna crash lots of records
Olympics gonna be 🔥

Holy Guacamole. That 140kg moved like a empty bar. It is just a matter of when, not if. U got this Olivia.
She's squatting 200kg 😮😮😮
And she's a Jr.
She's going to go super Siayn soon...

Wrong continent
Genetic freak
Why do they do that split squat? Shit she would’ve had that easily with a regular squat
Split squat is easier for this body type
Yo someone definitely needs to tell her coaches that there’s some dude in the comments who knows how she can lift more

Guest atheletes, counts for Olympic qualifying. They can't win medals here, but they can set US and World records.
