UPDATE.
A key component to "pulling under the barbell" into the receiving position is to;
answer >>> use the contraction of the trapezius muscles to pull the body under
even as the barbell is being pulled up.
During the jerk drive, from the power position: answer >>> Lifter explodes
upward against the bar by pushing against the floor and extending the legs and
there is generally a slight upward rise on the toes.
When the barbell, initially, leaves the platform: answer >>> Shoulders and hips
rise at the same rate.
A key point in the "starting" position of a lift is that; answer >>> The shoulders are
never 'set' behind the barbell
As the barbell passes the knee; (1pt) answer >>> The feet are flat on the platform
The Front Squat Assessment can determine if the weightlifter; answer >>> has the
wrist, elbow, and shoulder flexibility to support the barbell on their shoulders in
front of the neck
,USAW
The Military Press Assessment is useful in determining if the weightlifter; answer
>>> Can begin practicing jerks and jerk related exercises
The reason that a pre-training assessment should be performed on all new
athletes answer >>> to determine the appropriate starting point for a new
athlete.
What are the four flexibility assessments and the criteria a coach uses to evaluate
if the athlete has sufficient flexibility and if the lift was performed correctly?
answer >>> Front Squat, Overhead Squat, Snatch Grip Deadlift, Military Press
What are the key points of the BOTTOM POSITION of a correctly performed
overhead squat? answer >>> The lifter squats down as low as possible, while
maintaining an upright torso held in the universal lifting position and with feet flat
on the floor. The stick remains above the shoulders, or slightly behind them,
throughout the squat
When, during a training session, should a lifter complete flexibility exercises that
increase range of motion be performed? answer >>> After the strength training
has been completed
The method in stretching involves movement into one's maximal range of motion,
or as close to that as possible, by contraction of the muscles being stretched to
oppose stretching motion. These muscles are contracted for several seconds, to
fatigue them, and then they are again relaxed is; answer >>> PNF
5 Statements concerning flexibility as it relates to weightlifting: answer >>> 1.
only muscles that have been warmed up through a general or specific warm-up be
stretched
, USAW
2. gradual increases on the range of motion are achieved during stretching and no
sudden moves into the full range of motion are attempted
3. only the current range of motion is sought during warming up and no effort is
made to improve the current range of motion
4. flexibility exercises cease as the specific warm-up progresses, and they are not
resumed until the end of strength training during a given training session
5. flexibility training to increase an athlete's range of motion is performed
immediately after strength training has been completed, while the muscles are
still warm
2 fundamental purposes of stretching answer >>> 1. Help an athlete achieve his
or her current range of motion
2. Increase that range of motion
What are 5 acceptable forms of stretching? answer >>> 1. Static: It involves
slowly moving into a position nearing one's maximum range of motion and
holding that position
2. Ballistic/Dynamic: Ballistic stretching involves moving a limb or body part such
as the torso thought a range of motion the tis assisted by momentum
3. Passive vs. Active Stretching: In passive stretching, the athlete's body is moved
through a range of motion by a live or robotic stretching partner
4. AIS: a stretch reflex actually begins to resist the stretch it activated
5. PNF: This method in stretching involves movement into one's maximal range of
motion, or as close to that as possible, by contraction of the muscles being
stretched to oppose stretching motion.
