Dr. John Garhammer — brilliant mind, with a terrific understanding
of Newtonian mechanics, physics and mathematics and a great deal
of experience in training athletes, from Olympic
weightlifters to throwers — addressed the important similarities in terms
of peak
power output (a derivative
of absolute strength) and rate
of force development between Olympic
weightlifters, high jumpers, and throwers.
«Effort» is how much
of our maximum muscle
power we're using: a weekend warrior and an olympic
weightlifter are feeling the same «effort» when they do their 1RM (1 repetition maximum), but
of course, the olympic
weightlifter can produce lots more
power at that same effort.
Exploring the ground reaction force (GRF), Souza & Shimada (2002a) investigated a
power clean performed with 60 — 70 %
of 1RM in young, male
weightlifters.
Investigating the horizontal displacement
of the bar during the hang
power snatch, Christ et al. (1996) compared an elite
weightlifter and a resistance - trained individual.
Souza & Shimada (2002a) explored the forces acting on the knee joint during a
power clean performed with 60 — 70 %
of 1RM in young, male
weightlifters.
This lack
of a strong relationship differs from observations made in resistance - trained individuals who are not Olympic
weightlifters relationships, where a moderate - to - strong association between 1RM
power clean and vastus lateralis muscle cross-sectional area has been observed (McMahon et al. 2015).
Probably in consequence
of the high proportion
of fat in the diet
of Olympic
weightlifters, carbohydrate intake is generally much lower than standard recommendations for strength and
power athletes (Slater & Phillips, 2011), where 55 — 60 %
of caloric intake is generally proposed (Rogozkin, 2000).
While an element
of the unexplained variability will likely have arisen though measurement error, it is more likely that the variation occurred primarily through variation between performances within individuals, as snatch, clean and jerk, and total 1RM varies by around 2.3 — 2.7 % in elite Olympic
weightlifters (McGuigan & Kane, 2004), although test - re-test reliability
of the 1RM
power clean is nearly perfect in adolescent male athletes, with ICC = 0.98, a standard error
of measurement (SEM)
of 2.9 kg and a smallest worthwhile change (SWC)
of 8.0 kg (Faigenbaum et al. 2012).
The
Power Clean is one
of those training exercises and a so - called derivative
of the competition lift the Clean and is used by Olympic
Weightlifters as a training exercise to improve the Clean.
