Bracing Your Spine

3/16/2014

One of my favorite K.Star videos is one where he showcases a spine loading error and its effect on your position and technique for a clean. This video is applicable every day you step in the gym, for the same reasons its applicable to the clean. So, in your cleans, you should try to optimize your spine & hip position to minimize the shear forces on your spine. When you try to “unround” your back at the bottom of a clean, you can end up adding another/different set of forces to the spine. If you do so tired, as during conditioning work, you may create a completely different setup position each time. 
So, your goal should be to brace your spine when it is under as little external demand as possible (typically while standing), then add load (hip hinge, slightly bend your knees, grab the bar and stand up). Have a look and see if the video helps you understand how to better brace your spine before a clean or during any other movement.
