Greg is an amazing Olympic weight-lifting coach. Moreover, he’s also an anatomy and coaching geek like myself, so that made for a pretty amazing interview!

In this interview, we cover the following:

• Greg’s general background, and how he originally got into Olympic weightlifting.
• Answers to common questions such as:
• Where do you place your hands on the snatch?
• Elbows “locked” or “long” on the pull?
• What is ideal neck position in the squat and/or pull?
• How do you improve wrist flexibility to front squat and/or catch cleans?
• A discussion on how to catch the bar on multi-rep sets of jerks or push presses.
• An awesome cue Greg uses to get the abs working correctly in the squat.
• The final question – one big mistake Greg has made, and what he’s learned from it over the years.
