“…Anecdotally reported purposes including training ''the athletic movement of dropping under the bar'', ''yielding strength'', and ''rapid acceptance of a load'' may stray from the primary purpose of the weightlifting movements, which may lead to incorrect technique during the exercises that may ultimately affect the overall training stimulus. Let it be noted that this does not mean that weightlifting movements that include the catch phase need to be completely eliminated, but rather, used sparingly, because of the greater injury rates that have been associated with catching [120,121]. Indeed there have been arguments that sports like American football use the catch to mimic the impact received during a game.…”

Weightlifting Pulling Derivatives: Rationale for Implementation and Application

This review article examines previous weightlifting literature and provides a rationale for the use of weightlifting pulling derivatives that eliminate the catch phase for athletes who are not competitive weightlifters. Practitioners should emphasize the completion of the triple extension movement during the second pull phase that is characteristic of weightlifting movements as this is likely to have the greatest transference to athletic performance that is dependent on hip, knee, and ankle extension. The clean pull, snatch pull, hang high pull, jump shrug, and mid-thigh pull are weightlifting pulling derivatives that can be used in the teaching progression of the full weightlifting movements and are thus less complex with regard to exercise technique. Previous literature suggests that the clean pull, snatch pull, hang high pull, jump shrug, and mid-thigh pull may provide a training stimulus that is as good as, if not better than, weightlifting movements that include the catch phase. Weightlifting pulling derivatives can be implemented throughout the training year, but an emphasis and de-emphasis should be used in order to meet the goals of particular training phases. When implementing weightlifting pulling derivatives, athletes must make a maximum effort, understand that pulling derivatives can be used for both technique work and building strength-power characteristics, and be coached with proper exercise technique. Future research should consider examining the effect of various loads on kinetic and kinematic characteristics of weightlifting pulling derivatives, training with full weightlifting movements as compared to training with weightlifting pulling derivatives, and how kinetic and kinematic variables vary between derivatives of the snatch.

Finally, the suggested derivatives enable the development of important lower-and upper-body musculature that will be used to enhance the force-velocity profile during later training phases in tandem with core exercises such as squatting, pressing, and pulling movements.…”

“…By using higher loads (i.e., .100% 1 repetition maximum [RM] clean/snatch) during the pulling derivatives, it is likely that greater increases in strength may occur (2, 88,89). Although the use of weightlifting movements typically results in a low injury rate (44), previous literature indicated that training exclusively with the full weightlifting movements involving the catch may result in a greater potential for injury (63,82). An additional benefit of the pulling derivatives is the reduced technical demand (i.e., removal of the catch phase), which may (a) make the movements easier for athletes to learn due to fewer technical components and (b) may reduce injury potential due to the relatively neutral position of the shoulders, elbows, and wrists during the second pull phase (89).…”

WEIGHTLIFTING MOVEMENTS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES MAY BE IMPLEMENTED IN A SEQUENCED PROGRESSION THROUGHOUT THE TRAINING YEAR TO OPTIMIZE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ATHLETE'S STRENGTH, RATE OF FORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND POWER OUTPUT. WEIGHTLIFTING MOVEMENTS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES CAN BE PROGRAMMED EFFECTIVELY BY CONSIDERING THEIR FORCE–VELOCITY CHARACTERISTICS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL UNDERPINNINGS TO MEET THE SPECIFIC TRAINING GOALS OF RESISTANCE TRAINING PHASES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TYPICAL APPLICATION OF PERIODIZED TRAINING PROGRAMS.

“…This is of major concern to the medical community, because there is evidence that proper execution of the exercises is constantly overlooked by recreational athletes [21]. It has been established that, after the shoulders, the back is the second most common site of injury in fitness centers, which is mainly due to major overload or improper execution [22].…”

Abstract:The back is an extremely common site of injury among both athletes and sedentary people. Furthermore, low back pain has become prevalent in our society. Maintaining strong back muscles can help prevent future pain or injuries. Here, the aim is therefore to assess the kinetic and kinematic movements of four pulling exercises with different external loading directions. Fifteen healthy subjects were analyzed using a 3D motion capture system. The pulley machine was equipped with a load cell for force data acquisition. The exercises consisted of 8 repetitions each of the lat pulldown (25% and 50% body weight (BW) extra load), the lat pulldown with 45 • incline (10% and 25% BW), the seated cable row (25% and 50% BW) and the upright row (standing, 10% and 25% BW). The minimum and maximum curvature angle in the thoracic as well as the lumbar spine was larger during the upright row than during the other exercises. Furthermore, during the upright row, the sagittal moment in the shoulder joint is opposed to the other exercises in the direction of retroversion. Due to the higher lumbar curvature observed in low back patients, to avoid overload, it is not advisable for patients with back pain to perform upright rows.
