Overthrow

You know those bruises you get on your collar bones from the barbell crashing down on you when you do cleans? You shouldn’t have those. The barbell should land smoothly – not crash.
There may be a different name for it but when people throw the bar too high and it crashes down on them, I call it an overthrow error. In the video above, you can see Alex overthrow pretty badly in the first clip. As the clips progress, the problem gets smaller and smaller. He fixed it.
How did he fix it? Great question. What do you see? What did he change?
