ready? Tell them when to go. How's everybody doing? Danny Loehr with The Lifting Fix.
I'm here at CrossFit Excel and I have Lexi with me. Lexi's been training with me for almost a year. Kind of working on her lifts a little bit. We meet up once a month, once in a couple months to kind of refine some things.
She has an issue in her clean. When she comes up, she starts to bend her arms. So as soon as you start to bend there, that is going to be the weak link. And when you go to finish, you're going to lose some tension.
It's almost like-- It's like having a bar hanging off rubber bands and you're trying to clean it. It's not really effective. There are some people that hit clean, but it's very rare and it's a different thing. That's not what's going on here.
So in order to correct that, we need to practice in the range of motion that needs to be fixed. So what she's going to do is she's going to do a clean pull concentrating on back tight, tension, relax, loose arms, one pull, and then she's going to do a couple pulls in rhythm, 3, 4, 34, however she feels like doing. And just follow that directly into a clean so it's all at the same rhythm. Let's see it.
Arms straight the whole time. concentrate and keep your elbows straight. Okay and practicing good mechanics in the range of motion that you struggle. Alright we were talking about earlier say she's done 2,000 cleans well she's bent her arms during 1,500 of those alright that's the majority of the time she's done that movement she's done it incorrectly.
So what we need to do is accumulate repetitions in the range of motion you need them using proper form. Good job. Thank you, Lexi. Thank you, those plates that are holding up my phone.
Thank you, Liv Soar. So much one take Tommy.
