Barbell Movements
Focus: The Upper Back
We often talk about the elbows staying up in the thruster, but one reason the elbows may be dropping is because athletes have lost the rigidity in their upper back. In this movement, we can focus on keeping elbows high and the upper back solid by pulling the shoulders down and back. If we also take this concept over to the power snatch, it helps athletes maintain a neutral spine in the pull off the floor. Keeping the upper back rigid during the pull allows athletes to get the bar higher on the body for the jump overhead.

Stimulus wise, we are looking for:
1st Weight – Very light. 30+ repetitions unbroken when fresh is a possibility on both movements.
2nd Weight – Moderate. 21+ repetitions unbroken when fresh is a possibility on both movements.
3rd Weight – Moderate-Heavy. 15+ repetitions unbroken when fresh is a possibility on both movements.
4th Weight – Heavier, but manageable. 9+ repetitions unbroken when fresh is a possibility on both movements.
Coupling two barbell movements, as we build our barbell cycling capacity.
Today, let’s use a single barbell, and change weights as we go.
