Clean and jerk

Strength and conditioning coaches (SCC) have strived to find exercises that transfer to aid the development of specific sports skills. These exercises come in many forms, from resistance to body weight or from more technical based Olympic style weightlifting exercises, such as the clean and jerk, with the aim being to benefit the athlete with transferable capabilities that improve the sport specific skill (Hori et al., 2008; Behm, 1985). For the coach to design an effective training plan, how an exercise dynamically corresponds with a skill helps to pick the most effective exercise for the desired response.

When the clean and jerk is properly performed, it combines a deadlift, upright row, front squat and a push press all into one quick movement. The lift was initially implemented as one of the original lifts in Olympic weightlifting competitions, normally performed after an athlete clears the snatch lift. When setting up to perform this lift you will need to be on a…

My boyfriend Brant is no cow, so it’s very easy to push him over. Brant’s “pushover” ways are because of his lose/win paradigm. There are many paradigms of interactions and everybody has displayed them all before, but Brant loves to practice the lose/win paradigm the most. A lose/win paradigm is an interaction where Brant loses in his favor while the other person gets their way and wins. Whether he is interacting with me, his teachers, his friends or even his own sister, a lot of the time he…

Ernest Hemingway is one of the most revered and studied American authors, famous the world over for his extensive bibliography of short stories and novels. However, Hemingway was a deeply troubled man, and many of his works are monuments to his struggles with depression. “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” is an ideal example of Hemingway’s nihilistic view of the world: it appears to be a mirror into his very soul. The theme of “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” is decidedly nihilistic: life, human ideas…

In Hemingway’s A Clean, Well-Lighted Place a dark loneliness fills the void of man’s solitary existence, while in O’Brien’s 2006 film Isolation, physical remoteness allows for the entrance of a sinister shadowy evil, each demonstrating, in its own way, nature’s need to fill a vacuum. The inner struggles that the old man had gone through had been felt by his presence in the cafe. The young waiter does not know why the…

Clean coal is a technology of greatly disputed value with some believing it is the way of the future while others believe it merely applies a band-aid to a gunshot wound. Clean coal technology is not the most economically or environmentally practical method of energy production causing me to advocate for the increased use of alternative technologies. Any technology that reduces the environmental impact of burning coal falls under the clean coal technologies umbrella (Halber, 2008, para. 1). The…
