My foot landing sucks in the bottom of the clean. I either split my feet to wide or split them uneven. I’ve backed off the weight and am trying to correct this.
I have noticed some lifter who simply start with a wider stance and don’t split their feet out at all on landing, especially in the snatch. Is this a good technique to use or a bit too unorthodox?
It depends on the lifter. Some are more flexible and can be stable with a narrow stance whereas others aren’t. I think it boils down to personal preference.
Concentrate on Jumping backwards when you explode. After you perfect this, your feet will land perfectly. I use to jump and split until I learned from Olympic lifters themselves. My power clean dramatically improved also. Jump Backwards!
