Abstract

Weightlifting is a highly technical sport which is governed by interactions of phases to optimise the load lifted. Given the technicality of the snatch and clean and jerk, understanding key stable components to identify errors and better prescribe relevant exercises are warranted. The aim of this article is to present an applied method of analysis for coaches that considers the biomechanical underpinnings of optimal technique through stable interactions of the kinetics and kinematics of the lifter and barbell at key phases of the lift. This paper will also look to discuss variable components which may differentiate between athletes and therefore provide a foundation in what to identify when coaching weightlifting to optimise load lifted whilst allowing for individual variances.
