Substituting Weighted Jump for Olympic Clean

They are pretty much what we would call arch ups, yes.

 

I always had my clients who had trouble with deadlifts build up to 3 sets of 15-20 reps with at least 35-45 lbs.

 

 

Good to hear. I do not like deadlifting except for single leg variations.

 

 These days having pontificated on this a lot I would prefer the use of a Chinese style Panda High Pull.

 

 These basically have the same speed of a Snatch or Clean which the traditional High Pull lacks as it is slow and generally with more weight.

 

 The chinese often do these from a hang around the knee rather than off the floor. You could pull the first off the floor, then do 2-3 more reps from the hang. Use straps.

 I find these style of pulls come a bit more natural with a snatch grip. As well for gymnasts, you don't have to worry about teaching the specifics of a snatch or clean or adding more stress to the shoulders or the risk of tweaking a wrist from a missed clean.

Hi Blair. I've tried some of those and agree completely. They feel a lot more natural.
