    The “Holy Grail” explanation! Finally - a thoughtful, straightforward directive on how to execute. No confusion. Well done Coach

    Thanks for clearing that up. A while back when Zack did a video about rotation he mentioned how the internal rotation isn't necessarily the goal but rather it was a result of the chest coming forward. I now clearly understand why.

    Thank you for the explanation. I hear so much about this but this is the only demonstration I can understand. I am just learning Olympic lifting for CrossFit and have watched a ton of your subtitled videos - somehow reading the translation while watching helps me learn better! But I like the English videos along with the demonstration.

    • @alexbramwell1870
      @alexbramwell1870 4 роки тому +1

      It's clear that the chest is the driving factor. Crossfit should teach that. Whilst chest is forward, naturally some people internally rotate, whilst others externally rotate. It matters not, as long as your elbows are locked because your chest is pushed forwards.

    Hey Oleksiy, great video as always! I’m wondering if you have tips for the jerk overhead position for people who have very little shoulder mobility. I’m doing thoracic extension drills and sleeper stretches for internal rotation, and it’s slowly getting better.

  • @JibinLincolon
    @JibinLincolon 4 роки тому

    You also have stronger internal rotating muscles than external rotating muscles. A lot of people have believed Kelly Starret’s teaching of external rotation overhead which is incorrect.

    • @bastiaanbogers4114
      @bastiaanbogers4114 4 роки тому

      Well, they don’t really have to be stronger, they perhaps should work harder when the bar is overhead.
      Don’t forget to do external rotation drills. Your external rotators are often weak by nature (mine were super weak) and that can result in injuries.

    Great video, why does crossfit teach external rotation to all their coaches? Back when I was training crossfit that was the bible to do external rotation and anything else was wrong. Idk if this is true for all crossfit gyms but I guess the coaches all go through the same training program.

    • @bakbaklavaa
      @bakbaklavaa 4 роки тому

      I would say yes based on the overhead position in oleksiy’s power jerk but jerk grip is narrower so you’re going to have less visible internal rotation of the numeral head when you push your chest forward to unite your scapulas
