Support strength is an important component of #Chineseweightlifting. #Squat recovery’s are similar to jerk dips in that they are a type of supportive movement to help athletes get used to heavy weights. You can perform these at various heights, statically or dynamically, for a few seconds or longer depending on the objective. But this version with 350kg performed by #mastrength friend #LiaoHui (69kg) is particularly used for core strength in preparation for heavy #squats in later #Weightlifting training. Additionally they can be used within the session they can provide extra intensity after a squat session.
So if you find your #technique breaking down after a particular weight or want to add mass to your back, try incorporating squat recovery’s to make sure your support #strength is strong enough to keep your #balance and muscle tension. If you want to learn more about balance and technique, Jon is Toronto on March for our next seminar or message is to host one in your area!

The final word behind Chinese weightlifting philosophy is “stable.” Stability helps guarantee a lift, conserve energy, and reduce the risk of injury. One way to train this is to build strength in your catch positions. Here we see our friend Lu Xiaojun (77kg) work on this by squatting 220kg from the bottom.

This particular method works for squat jerking but one could use back or front squats at various heights to emphasize their catch positions. So if you don’t feel comfortable, strong, or balanced in your catch, spend more time there to build those qualities. We now carry Chinese knee sleeves which you can buy at our store or at our upcoming seminars on Nov 26 in Perugia Italy @CrossFit_ perugia or Dec 3 in Bradenton FL @suncoaststrength! #mastrength #mastrengthyourstrength #Chineseweightlifting #weightlifting #olympicweightlifting #pesistica #strappo #slancio #snatch #cleanandjerk
