Barbell Movement Analysis for Strength Athletes

What This Is

We break down your lift to identify exactly where you’re losing efficiency, power, or control.

This isn’t just “form advice.”
You get a structured analysis of each phase of your lift with clear, actionable corrections.

How the Analysis Works

Each lift is broken into key phases so we can isolate where problems actually occur.

First Pull (Floor → Knee)

We assess:

  • Bar path off the floor

  • Spine position and bracing strategy

  • Knee and hip sequencing

  • Weight distribution (midfoot vs toes/heels)

Common issues we identify:

  • Hips shooting up early

  • Bar drifting away from the body

  • Loss of tension off the floor

Second Pull (Knee → Hip Extension)

We assess:

  • Timing of hip extension

  • Power transfer through the hips

  • Bar proximity to the body

  • Coordination between upper and lower body

Common issues:

  • Early arm pull

  • Incomplete hip extension

  • Bar looping away from the body

Third Pull (Pull Under / Catch Phase)

We assess:

  • Speed under the bar

  • Receiving position (depth, stability, alignment)

  • Shoulder and thoracic positioning

  • Footwork and timing

Common issues:

  • Slow turnover under the bar

  • Poor catch stability

  • Inconsistent receiving position

Lifts We Analyze

We apply this breakdown to:

  • Deadlift

    • Setup, tension, and bar path efficiency

  • Clean & Jerk

    • Pull mechanics + front rack + overhead stability

  • Snatch

    • Full movement efficiency, speed, and overhead control

  • Power Clean

    • Explosiveness and receiving mechanics

What You Get

  • Video breakdown of your lift

  • Phase-by-phase analysis (first, second, third pull)

  • Clear corrections you can apply immediately

  • Mobility or stability limitations identified

  • Optional follow-up programming or treatment recommendations

Who This Is For

  • CrossFit athletes

  • Olympic lifters

  • Powerlifters

  • Anyone wanting to move more efficiently and lift without pain
