There isn't just one technique that everyone must use. When I go to the Worlds or the Olympics I always go to the press conferences after the lifting and I have asked many, many of the medalists why they use a certain technique and the all say that's what works best for them.

You have to use trial and error to find out which is best. There are many great examples from Juri Vardanian to Anatoly Karpathy (who I felt had the absolute best technique ever). Another great example is the gold and silver medalist 75 kilo women in the 2012 Olympics, one used the frog style stance and split jerked, the other started with a wide stance, didn't move the feet and power jerked. So, you go with what works! Now that Jim has answered, I'll add that you can't assume that what a lifter does is what is best for them, at any level. It's just the best that they've figured out so far.

For example, I think there's a fairly strong consensus that a bent rear leg in the jerk is more stable. A straight leg tends to be use more as a brace and is less used for support, while a bent leg allows for a more equal distribution of weight front-to-back. We also know it's a common problem for an athlete to put almost all of their weight on one leg and shoot the other back. So if, say, Klokov tends to jerk with a straight back leg, I don't think you could differentiate between whether that's something he desires to do or whether it's just an issue he hasn't fixed. Supposedly Klokov himself said his technique is not as good as some of his competitors.

That being said, body proportions also have a lot to do with it. The optimal knee bend changes based on your overall leg length and your femur/tibia length ratio, as well as how far out you're able to get your front foot. That's why, when choosing what 'style' to use (if you want to put it that way), many of us simply look at your weight distribution to decide if what you're doing needs adjustment. I agree with all of what you said. I think bending the back leg provides more support in general because it recruits more of the leg muscles. However, dropping the back knee can also cause problems. Perfect example is julia rohde: first attempt looks solid.

Second attempt, i think she misses because of the way she drops her back leg - which causes her right hip to collapse. I have tried experimenting with different jerk positions and knee angles. I find that using 90 degrees recruits a lot more muscle in the left leg as opposed to pushing the left leg straight out. It does leave me open to error, though.

Like dropping my knee to the floor. Which would be bad under heavy weight. So, a slightly larger angle works best.

I, however, naturally default to a straighter leg. And I think that also causes me to miss lifts, because I feel it leaves me unstable. Yeah, it's important that you stay tight in the receiving position, which I think is the error you're describing. We're used to keeping the front leg working hard in the split, but the back leg can be a bit lazy. I put this on the same level as staying tight in the catch of the clean or the snatch: easy enough to fix, and not a strong reason not to use the technique.

Ringtone Suara Sirine Pemadam Kebakaran. About Julia as an example, I don't see her right (rear) hip collapsing on her 110kg jerk. Instead, it looks to me like her left (forward) leg was unable to brake the downward momentum of the bar, or perhaps just that she was slightly out of position and got spit out from underneath the weight. From the overhead view at 2m22s, she flies out of position the instant after she plants her feet. If her back leg was collapsing then I expect she would have struggled under it longer as it crushed her. This looks more like what would happen if, say, her back was too arched and/or the weight was just slightly too far behind her. I think overall our coaches are getting better and doing a pretty good job, thanks to USA Weightlifting's Coaching Education Program.

New coaches sometimes push their lifters too hard and heavy too soon and there are also the coaches that bring their lifters along too slowly. I think the biggest problem with our coaches is they don't help with the officiating and running of competitions, everyone wants to be a lifter or a coach, but few want to be a referee, loader or meet director.

A US weightlifting coach has to do it all. I don't train any of my lifters on two a day programs because they have jobs and or school. Therefore, they train 3 to 5 times per week for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. These are good hard high quality workouts. However, if I were to train someone twice a day I would do technique work and squats in the morning and heavy lifts and assistant exercises in the afternoon or evening. There have been so many changes from going from iron weights to rubber weights, to improved technique and training methods, to women getting into the sport big time, but I think the biggest is the professionalism that the most successful countries do, they select, recruit, develop and reward their lifters and weightlifting is their job! The most impressive lift I have seen was Vasily Alexeeve's 255 C&J at the 1976 Olympics, he won his gold medal with 230, then jumped 25 kilos to take back his record from DDR's Gerd Bonk, who had done 252.5 at the 1976 Europeans.

I don't like them. My main issue is that the qualifying procedures should have been determined 12 to 9 months before the qualifying deadline, so lifters and meet directors could prepare and plan for them. Now we have a good news, bad news problem with USA Weightlifting, the good news is our sport has grown tremendously and the bad news is we can't quite handle it yet. I would like to see the National totals raised so that just our very best lifters could compete on one platform, but have lower totals for the American Open and have the AO a two platform competition.

I would like to see our Junior and University Nationals also run on two platforms. The biggest problem we have with this great growth in our sport is we don't have enough qualified officials and support staff. I just hope we do a better job of qualifying criteria and qualifying events in 2015 than this year.
