You can probably still learn to pull properly even if you're not catching the lift at the bottom. I would continue to train the lifts and catch them as deep as you can with good position while improving your ankle mobility.Tsypkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07103282631908551095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35533064.post-24926386158655108312012-05-02T05:19:34.591-07:002012-05-02T05:19:34.591-07:00Hi Jacob,

I've been self learning the olifts for about 6 months, well C%J anyway. currently up to 100kg, but realise my mobility is definitely not up to par. I'm using mobility wod and working hard on flexibility - should I stop olifting in the mean time? <br /><br />If you can't get into an ideal position should I completely abandon the movement? are there any other olift assistances you could recommend in the mean time?<br /><br />main mobility problem is ankle dorsiflexion.<br /><br />thanks!JMJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897557854933605723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35533064.post-23723466402619909092012-04-28T13:52:17.428-07:002012-04-28T13:52:17.428-07:00Ellie,

I am generally in the "from the top down" camp, and I think that performing the lifts with heavy weight from crucial positions, starting from the hip and working down to the floor, is probably the best way to learn them. You have to know where the bar is going before you can put it there.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.Tsypkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07103282631908551095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35533064.post-56322635216760370682012-04-28T04:23:51.379-07:002012-04-28T04:23:51.379-07:00Hi :)

I think in special situations sometimes going right back to basics (we did: from the hip, then the thigh, then the knee, then the floor over a few weeks for both lifts) is the best thing for consistent accurate technique - having said that I am a complete newb so maybe should've started like this in the first place :)The Bear https://www.blogger.com/profile/04584393826979086414noreply@blogger.com
