Getting the Most Out of the First Dip – 002 – Kettlebell Sport Science

Welcome to episode 002!

The Jerk is composed of 4 different phases:

  1. First Dip
  2. Drive
  3. Second Dip
  4. Recovery

For this episode, we talk about getting the most out of the first dip.

In my opinion, if the first dip isn’t executed optimally, this can set you up for a “less than ideal” drive phase.

Watch below to learn how to set yourself up for a successful and efficient lift.

 

Key points discussed in the video:

  • Why many people are “wasting” energy by not using the most important hip extensor muscle!
  • Why your low back is at risk for an injury
  • How an optimal first dip can set you up for an optimal drive phase
