I don't get the "need" for what he wrote. Meaning, why would you "apologize"?

« on: January 27, 2015, 01:59:15 pm »I think you are both right. Because the triple extension frame is missing, but also given the knee and hips angles at the "takeoff" frame, it looks like there was no triple extension at all. I will film again when i get the chance and study it.
Again, when should the triple extension occur?
I think just as in a jump: right before the take-off and "during" it, as the heels come off the ground and you finish on your toes, you should be extended at all the three joints.
By the way... it's interesting, but when I think of the joints that are extending, and which muscles do the extension of each joint... I come to think of looking at the antagonists of these muscles and see how well developed they are in order to see how much ankle, knee or hip "functional" someone is. For example, highly developed hamstrings might show quad dominance, since the hamstrings had to develop in order for the quads to act explosively. Highly developed abs and hip flexors might show glute dominance/good glute involvement in explosive movements.
Who knows if there's any value in what I'm thinking...

You should watch if the hip hyperextends properly. In your case (and mine's) the hip is still flexed there... I personally feel "unsafe" about hyperextending my hips explosively during cleans, I just feel like I'll hyperextend my back or get injured or that my abs aren't strong enough to control and decelerate the hyperextension or something.

I'm pretty sure I did. When I used to squat parallel and/or with a wider stance and toes pointed out more, i didnt dorsiflex as much. Thats because mechanically it wasnt necessary. but i COULD have had the same dorsiflexion had i went atg and narrow.
my dorsiflexion isnt limited by my calf flexibility at all. its limited by.... my foot?
analogy: how much can you flex your elbow? why cant you go any further, is it because the tricep is tight? no, its because your bicep is in the way.
same thing with my ankles. i cant dorsiflex more than i already do unless i change the structure of my feet and ankles.
Hm... yeah but in my case, the difference of dorsiflexion between my left and right ankles is tremendous.
