 Big fish in a small pond Member 1150, 2101 posts | Post Edited: 27.02.2014 @ 22:40 PM by RyanH So first time doing them today, normally do belt cleans, and ive found i suck at them and am limited more by the clean than i am the press. What would people recommend to improving at them. How would you go about training them and any assistance?* admin please amend title typo Continental. | ||

 Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | Learn to pull the bar higher and have it sit on top of your belly rather than it drop down onto your belt Also train high pulls (both normal grip and wide grip) You could also have the bar set in a power rack at the height you'd want it to be sat on your belly and train the last part of the pull; getting it to your shoulders etc... It's also learning to lean back in the pull to get yourself under it that can be hard to pick up; well I found it was but I'm 6ft 4 so it's a fair height it needs pulling to! | ||

Big fish in a small pond Member 1150, 2101 posts | With high pulls though they will be double overhand, unless u mean practice high pulling on an axle with under/overhand? | ||

 my face was on fire Member 494, 2394 posts SQ 250, BP 150, DL 320720.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq | best progress I have ever made on axle was when I was once a week going for a pb single, triple or five (clean every rep or just one clean and then pushpresses) in a separate session once a week after squats and deads doing doh beltless high pulls and actually landing the bar for a split second on top of my belly. working up to a weight that I miss then doing 3singles at the previous weight. sometimes with chains | ||
