List 3 factors that influence pulling downward under the barbell 1) bent legs
2) traps shrug shoulders upward explosively
3) arms begin to bend
Explain the 3 basic parts of barbell trajectory 1) bar travels slightly backward toward the
lifter while the bar moves from the floor to the knees and continues to move backward while the
lifter is beginning to drive knees and hips forward toward the bar until the knees are well in front
of the bar and lifters legs make solid contact with bar
2) beginning at this point bar travels slightly forward as lifter finishes upward explosion from the
power position. Bar continues to curve forward as lifter descends under the bar , but then it
begins to curve back again in a loop as the bar reaches its maximum heightand begins to drop
back down and backward toward the lifter
Explain the key points of the split jerk in terms of the following areas: 1) start 2) dip 3) drive 4)
catch 5) recovery 1) barbell rests primarily on shoulders above clavicle and in palms of
hands(facing upward), arms are relaxed and fully bent with the elbows at or below shoulder
level. Lungs are inflated to lift chest and balance is toward lifters heels
2) knees move forward and down dire fly over toes while hips move straight down under bar.
Trunk is rigid and strictly vertical, bending of legs proceeds at a moderate pace until the bar has

travelled downward 8-12% of lifters height. Downward motion stops crisply with the bar
remaining firmly in contact with the shoulders and the lifter in the power position
3) lifter explodes upward against bar by pushing against the floor and extending legs, slight rise
into toes. Balance shifts to middle of feet and legs are extended. Driving process ends when legs
have fully extended. Lifter begins to move under the bar with no hesitation in the legs extended
position, rather the lifter moves directly under the bar as soon as legs have reached full extension
4) feet move just above surface of platform. Back foot moves slightly earlier and lands earlier
than front foot. Arms push up against bar, driving lifter down under the bar while working to
reach a quick and solid lockout of the elbows. Hips move under the bar or slightly forward, torso
remains vertical or leans slightly forward. Legs are bending as soon as the feet land and are
athletically relaxed in bending to depth necessary for the lifter to lock elbows. Shin of front leg is
vertical and front foot is flat. Feet positioned straight ahead with back foot heel turned in slightly
5) barbell, shoulders and hips are maintained in vertical alignment while lifter extends corny leg
and takes one step back, legs extend further and back leg takes one step forward. Barbell, torso
and feet are all parallel
A key component to pulling under the barbell into the receiving position is to Use the
contraction of the traps to pull the body under even as the barbell is being pulled up
