Remember the “3 H’s”.
Head, Hips, and Hands.
1- Head:
When setting up for your ballistics, make sure your head is up, and not down looking at the floor in front of your KB(s).
By contrast, most people keep their heads down.
Your eyes should be on the horizon.
This is because your body follows your head.
And when your head is up, it initiates the “extensor reflex” which naturally contracts your posterior chain - the muscles running down the backside of your body.
You use these muscles on your Swings, Cleans, and Snatches.
2- Hips:
When setting up your ballistics, your hips should be high enough to feel the muscles of your posterior chain contract.
3- Hands:
Your hand position, in relation to your body on the set up of your ballistics, determines whether you’ll need to employ strategies to “Tame the Arc” - so the KB(s) don’t smack your forearms and shoulders…
… Or whether it comes almost effortlessly. |
