In this video, you can hear the coach say something in Chinese that sounds like Hai sze bu gou at the end. It means Still not enough. At the front, he says Ba yao sou zhu (Tuck in your waist) So direct translation, the athlete did not tuck in his waist enough. I went through a variety of thoughts in my head and asked my Instagram account subscribers. Why did the coach say Waist still not tucked enough? You can see the answers in the link. To understand the coachs answer, you must understand the IDEAS driving these coaches. 1. Chinese believe that a good lift, is a lift done beautifully. Regardless of number on the bar, the form CANNOT breakdown. This jerk, the athlete shook when dipping, driving, and receiving. 2. Once the first position is messed up, all other positions after are just compensations. Its already a bad lift. Train to make heavy weights look light. Not train and still make mistakes at heavy weights. The coach said the waist is what transfers force. Its the connector between the power generator (legs) and the load (barbell). So in order for something to connect well, it has to be stable and thus the waist has to be locked tight. When this athlete dipped, I realised at the corner of my eye, the coach already stopped looking. He said, during the dip itself, the athlete has slid his hips forward. Notice at the bottom of his dip, he actually had a double-dip? Thats how he knew the back was not locked enough. The rest of what happened was just corrections or domino effects. So yeah, thats why! That double dip caused a host of other issues at the back, but it was that double-dip that started it all.
