What's the difference between

Heel height/effective heel height ?

When i look at adipowers/romaleos they always seem to write "effective heel height 0.75 in"

In my adidas powerlifts it says "effective heel height 0.60 in" but when i actually measured with a tape/ruler its actually riiight under 1 in.

Also pic related are listed as "effective heel height 1 in" while heel height is actually 37.8mm (1.54 in)

Explain pls /owg/

the balls of your feet aren't on the floor, they're in the shoe

how did you measure the heel height? I hope you didn't just measure the height of the plastic outside

That's how a powerclean jump looks like when taken mid jump

Well, for a beginner, at least. His body needs to be leaned back slightly. He probably just jumped too early

its also an unreasonable amount of air for a power clean lol.

what exercises do you guys do along with oly lifts? I do all of the power lifts and limited amounts of curlbroshit. I like doing dumbell snatches and box jumps for fun. my main sport is amateur wrestling and boxing and I find that the speed I get from clean and jerks and snatches help quite a bit

also you forgot to post the sticky
