While this grip has been shown to be extremely effective for increasing the amount one can handle, it does not transfer over to the clean, and therefore should not be used with clean pulls. Some lifters also may use straps to assist in gripping during higher rep/fatigued sets as well, although others use clean and snatch pulls to develop stronger hook grips.ĭeadlift: One of the most widely used grips for deadlifts is the alternated/over-under grip, which allows a lifter to trap the barbell to prevent rolling. The clean pull also uses this to transfer directly to the clean. The GripĬlean Pull: The clean uses a double overhand, hook grip. To use weightlifting heels that allow for greater hamstring and ankle mobility in the setup, shin angles are still hitting near or at perpendicular to the ground. That alignment allows for the lifter to drive the knees back and create the proper bar path in the first and second pulls.ĭeadlift: To allow for the most vertical of bar paths, lifters typically wear flat shoes, allowing for the shins to be perpendicular to the ground. The heel of weightlifting shoes allows a lifter to position themselves over the barbell using a more vertical torso. The Feet and Shin AnglesĬlean Pull: Clean pulls are performed in the same footwear as cleans, snatches, and jerks, mimicking the Olympic lifts. Overall strength is the primary goal, rather than strength, power, and motor patterning specific to a lift that is highly depended upon those three aspects. The goal of this exercise is to take a given weight from the ground to the upright position, while maintaining a vertical bar path, rather than an “S” curved one. You need to be sure that all glue from previous procedures has been thoroughly removed.A video posted by Julio G on at 11:04am PDTĭeadlift: Unlike the clean pull, acceleration of the barbell from the floor and throughout the movement is less distinct and often slower when attempting a successful lift. Carefully clean tabs with CRS or another releasing agent. We’re not only cleaning the paint surface but we are also cleaning our tabs in preparation for adhesion as well.

Remember: The key to good adhesion comes from starting with a clean surface If a wax stripper or degreaser is required, use the CRS again after degreasing and polishing. Even rubbed on paint from the other car or wall will be removed and the surface will provide maximum adhesion and pull strength. The cleanest paint will be machine polished with high-quality rubbing compound. We recommend that you use compounds that are most commonly used to clean paint on repairs. Polishing the surface with compound polish with increase the power of your pull.

If you are not able to get paint from other vehicles, rubbings, or other debris to release from the surface by using water, soap, or cleaning solution then your last step is to use a polisher to buff out anything that remains on the surface.

Use your microfiber cloth to wipe back-and-forth as well as a circular motion to remove anything on the surface of the area where the glue will be applied.

We recommend that you use Keystone Cleaning Release Solution (CRS). Next, use 99% isopropyl alcohol or as close as you can get to that concentration level. Use a microfiber cloth to rub on the paint surface to be sure you have removed everything. Start by thoroughly cleaning your panel with glass cleaner and water to remove any dirt and debris that may be on the paint surface. Since the tabs need to be glued directly to the paint, we need to be sure this paint is as clean as possible before we begin. If your working surface is not clean, your tabs will not adhere correctly and the process will be compromised. Cleaning your panel is the first step you can take to get a powerful pull.
