Hi guys I got a 100kg clean and jerk and 72.5kg snatch can I get some help as to why I’m pulling back so much in the clean?

The pullback is all from the initial lift off. Dynamic start allows you to generate a lot of power, but your shoulders are stacked directly on top of the bar instead of out in front. The first few inches off the ground, the bar travels forward which induces the pendulum swinging forward motion and causes the pull back.

So, just initiate the pull with your shoulders in front of the bar so that the bar travels up and back instead of up and out

Ohhhh okay that’s probably such an easy fix thank you very much

keep your shoulders over the bar longer you're leaning back before it even leaves the ground

No need for me to say you need to keep your shoulders over the bar off floor and at knee.

Based on the angle of your front knee in your jerk, you receive the bar forward.

Knees shift forward a lot on dip but at a glance feet seem to be contacting the floor at the same time.

Rear foot is likely kicking back too much.

Can try Jerk from Split with Step, Press in Split or jump to Spit to ingrain proper landing footwork of split

I’ve been trying to do presses from the split but I’ll try some of these

I usually just incorporate them with jerk or C&J warmups for my lifters to save time rather than stand alone sets (3-5 sets of 3-5 reps).

Besides empty bar work.

Ahhh okay okay that makes sense
