Upper East Side

Jessica Lucero of Catalyst Athletics showing us what a proper catch position in a clean looks like.  Note her rack position – elbows are up, hands are outside her elbows, her elbows are aligned with her shoulder. Her back is flat and with a strong upright torso.  Her feet are in a place of stability (squat position), knees tracking over her toes, hips easily below parallel.  If you aren’t familiar with Catalyst Athletics, no better time than the present!  Founded by Greg Everett, protege of Mike Burgener, Catalyst offers fantastic weightlifting articles, journals, video’s, movement analysis, and even made a well known weightlifting documentary called “American Weightlifting”.  Check them out at: www.catalystathletics.com
