(Transition,scoop, or double knee bend). From mid thigh to full knee and hip extension Third pull - The transition from the extended position to the receiving position under the barbell Center of mass - Point around which the total mass of an object is equally distributed. Center in terms of balance. Want to keep center of mass over feet for a successful lift 2Emily Charlene © All Rights Reserved 2025. Line of gravity - imaginary vertical line that passes through the athletes center of mass and runs through the point at the feet over which the athlete is balanced. Slightly behind mid foot Center of pressure - The point of the foot at which the downward force of the barbell body system is focused. Line of gravity usually passes through this point but not when an athlete is moving Strength versus technique - Debates are on extreme ends of the spectrum, some say Olympic lifting is fully dependent on technique while others say technique is irrelevant with enough strength. Strength versus technique continued - You need both a good amount of strength and technique to per a successful lift Technique is - The medium through which strength is expressed Legs versus hips - Both are critical for optimal pulling, knee extension for elevating the barbell and hip extension for the speed of the barbell Maximal hip and knee extension - Creates maximal elevation and acceleration of the barbell Body proportions and effects - There is an ideal physique based on anatomical structure that gives lifters an advantage in Olympic lifting 3Emily Charlene © All Rights Reserved 2025. Body proportions and effects continued - Anatomical structure-Lengths Of limbs and trunk, the width and shape of pelvis, shape of the skeletal components of the shoulder complex and the precise alignment of various joints Physical traits - Traits that individuals possess by virtue of birth, not due to any intentional intervention, examples include speed and explosiveness. Physical traits continued - Speed and explosiveness are primarily dictated by the natural ratio of fast to slow twitch muscle fibers,hormone levels, skeletal structure and neurological factors such as motor units recruitment. Example of physical traits - People who are n
