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.
You solved my 90% problem with doing snatch , thank you sooo much I not even catch barbell in 40kg but now i do my PR with 58kg Thank you sooo much 😍😍😍
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.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been having the exact collapse issue when I attempt PRs. I’ll incorporate the chest forward and shoulder to ears in my movement. 💪🏽
Dude I'm new to the Olympic lifting and have been looking at your channel. You need to do more of these because this is great stuff. Keep it up and keep it coming in English as well. Cold mind, Warm body.
Crossfit coaches need to see this video. Its always bothered me how they tend to emphasize having the elbow pits pointed upwards. Its just not a natural position
That’s funny, my CrossFit coach taught the same thing as oleksiy did in my CrossFit session this afternoon! He is very good at explaining weightlifting movements!
@@camerongray7767 At the CF-L1 they teach it elbows up. I've never heard an Oly lifter/coach outside of CrossFit teach it that way. I teach my athletes this version.
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.
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.
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 as all of your previous ones. I'm a supper beginner trying to learn the proper move using PVC pipe. the Catch is not bad thanks to your videos however, the jerk is still difficult. Please give us some tips.
This is literally how I found this video. Literally just sitting here in bed years after stopping CrossFit, randomly thinking, "man I should Google the snatch shoulder position, I wonder CrossFit was wrong" and here I am.
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.
Well done! It seemed like the shoulder to ears was a bit rushed. If you push shoulders up to ears isn't that unlocking the upper back? Do you have a demonstration with the shoulders to ears in thr back view?
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

Your english has gotten really good
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.
The previous videos weren't so clear, I hadn't understood the concept, but with this one, man, super ! Thanks
Most helpful person on the internet teaching weightlifting
Best vid I've ever seen on this important topic! And your English is excellent! Why didn't you make more vids in English before?
Dude your English is straight perfect now. Bravo!
You solved my 90% problem with doing snatch , thank you sooo much
I not even catch barbell in 40kg but now i do my PR with 58kg
Thank you sooo much 😍😍😍
This is by far the best explanation about WHY to internally rotate
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.
Awesome! This is, by far, the best position for your snatch/ohs. Thank you, Torokhtiy!
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been having the exact collapse issue when I attempt PRs. I’ll incorporate the chest forward and shoulder to ears in my movement. 💪🏽
this is Great, new to Olympic lifts and this helped immensely-Thank You
Thank you for using English.Great video once again.Cheers from Greece
Γεια
Чётко, предельно ясно и коротко изложено.
Браво Олексий! Вы в очередной раз продемонстрировали свой талант педагога!
perfect explanation for a strong snatch overhead position!
I literally can not snatch, barely with empty bar. I will try this technique, very well explained. Thank you sir, all the respect.
4 years later still helpful love u man
Damn that was a great explanation. This might have just saved my shoulders. Best teacher when it comes to olympic weightlifting. Thank you so much!
Besides explaining he speaks English amazingly well
Super helpful! What about the wrists? The last weak points? Thank you!
Great explanation! Fixed my form after several months struggling with it. Thanks!
Great explanation Great english, Fantastic brother
Very nicely explained the biomechanics of the lifting,thanks sir
it makes sense now, every other video did not explain this thank thank you so much coach
You fixed my catch for the first time! Thank you. So simple!
U r amazing. Best explanation I have seen so far. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, I feel like you do a great job of explaining things in very simple terms, even children could watch and understand.
Thanks Oleksiy, great explanation, very illustrated examples.
Very good explained! Now people have to understand!👏
Brilliant. Exactly what I was looking for in a very clear no fluff way. Thank you!!
Awesome as usual Oleksiy! Thanks for the video
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Directly helpful! Smart and clear demonstration, well explinated!
Mind blown great demo wow
I learned something new today, I wasn't aware that that was the best possible position to carry the weight I was just doing it jaja.
Thanks bro! I really need to power my snatch, and your tips are valuable. Спасибо
Information is gold , just like his 2012 Olympic medal 🤗
You just answered my question with this video! Thanks!
വീഡിയോ ഉയർന്ന നിലവാരം പുലർത്തി... ഇതുപോലെ നല്ല വിഡിയോയോസ് വീഡും ചെയ്യണേ. നന്ദി 👍
Bravooo! English is basically perfect now.
The best explanation ever thanks
This is exact what i want to know! Thank you so much!
Very simple and effective breakdown of this position. Excellent.
Dude I'm new to the Olympic lifting and have been looking at your channel. You need to do more of these because this is great stuff. Keep it up and keep it coming in English as well. Cold mind, Warm body.
I needed this video!! couldn't lock my elbows !
Oh THAT'S why you should rotate your elbows forward! This is good way to remember, thanks
thank you for the video, simple, well explained and straight to the point! 👌🏽
Thank, Oleksiy!
You improved your English..... Very good
I agree. He communicates very well
Love this explanation!
Very good explanation. Thanks 👍
So good information. We all appreciate this. Spasibo❤️👏🏽
This guy is magic, Thanks
I like the way he says "chest forward"
Such good tips!!!
Your English has gotten a lot better. Can you upload some back squat footage training?
He has already done those.
Appreciated from India.

Our shoulders are independent ***little shoulder dance***
Thank you for speaking english!
man, I wish I had you as a coach/instructor but can't afford it.
🙌
Your body is getting more compact as well 💪
Thanks! Great tips and information.
Incredibly helpful
Thank you so much . Good video
great video as all of your previous ones.

Perfect explanation! Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS!
Very very helpful
great tip for solid positioning
Thank you it is so much helpful
Great content, thank you
Great video
2:19 “Our shoulders are independent” *cha cha cha*
You are the best oleksiy
Great information thank you!
Очень полезное видео! Спасибо!
He's the best.
This is really good
very good champ! Thanks a lot!
Seems like I need more thoracic mobility. I have beem trying to keep my shoulders down and force internal rotation all this time.
Perfect, thank's😉👍💪
Crossfit teaches the exact opposite, and what he just described just feels sooo much stronger that puts me in a more stable position.
ua-cam.com/video/YpAZY8oxqNs/v-deo.html exact opposite instruction here
This is literally how I found this video. Literally just sitting here in bed years after stopping CrossFit, randomly thinking, "man I should Google the snatch shoulder position, I wonder CrossFit was wrong" and here I am.
super, doskonale
Nice, vid! Also luv the pronunciation, but that’s just a bonus. P.s could please say ‘breathing’ more often!?
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.
it is strange because it is very hard to do it differently that he is showing here.
Because CrossDressers want to deliberately be different. They want to be unique but end up having shit technique.
Oleksiy Torokhtiy makes it look easy. But when I try, it’s not 😂 My scapula mobility is not good enough. 😐 I need lots of training.
Ok great tips on the movement but any tips on how to get the accent?
Great video
"The more kilos, your bar will start to smesh you."
Hm... sounds familiar
Smesh is every Dagestani man’s first word.
Well done! It seemed like the shoulder to ears was a bit rushed. If you push shoulders up to ears isn't that unlocking the upper back? Do you have a demonstration with the shoulders to ears in thr back view?
Thanks! Nice english!
спасибо 👍👍👍👍
Well explained. Thank u! This works for the Jerk too?
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
