Odd lift week 5
one arm clean and jerk
did this one
today towards the end of my session at Crossfit Reading. nice lift but
keeping it under control at the clean is really hard. I found two ways
of doing it. firstly with you hand facing you, as you would in a normal
barbell clean. it's very easy to clean in this manner but hard to keep
under control at the top before jerking. in the end I settled for the
second option of doing what looked like a bicep curl from the floor.
only got up to 40kg on this one
A9. Clean and Jerk – One Arm
The
rules of the Clean and Jerk apply with these exceptions. Only one arm
is used to perform the lift. The bar is gripped in the center by one
hand and may be cleaned in front or cleaned to the side. Any grip may be
used by the lifter. The bar must be cleaned to the same shoulder as the
lifting arm in a single movement. During the clean, the bar must not
touch any part of the legs or torso. In receiving the bar at the
shoulder, the bar must not make contact or rest on the shoulder or chest
opposite to the lifting arm. The center of the sternum is the line of
lineation. The non-lifting hand may be supported on the thigh or knee of
either leg but must not contact the bar, platform, or lifting arm
during the lift or it will be a disqualification. With a single distinct
effort the lifter will jerk the bar to arms length above the head. The
non-lifting hand must be clear of the body upon completion of the lift.
The bar may be in any degree of rotation when overhead. Once the bar is
overhead motionless, the lifter’s body in an upright position, the feet
parallel and in line with the
torso, an official will give a command
to lower the bar. Both hands may be used to lower the bar. The lift ends
when the bar is returned to the platform under control.
