The Second Pull
Here we have footage of two very good lifters, in slow motion. The key point that I want you guys to take away from this is the second pull- the explosion of the hips as the bar passes between the knee and hip (it is all over 3 seconds in). Most of you are to the point where you are developing your oly lifting skills- you have gotten the first pull (off the ground) and some of you are getting the third pull (under the bar) dialed in. This second pull that you can really see here is key to moving big weight, and not coincidentally is usually the hardest part of the lift to wrap your head around. We will keep working on this in the gym!
