Hi Tracy, could you offer some hints on how to do the catch, please? My "flip" from the swing to the catch isn't in control and I'm wildly trying to catch the falling bell.

What's a bottoms up swing? I know what a bottoms up clean and press is. Do you flick your wrist at the top of the swing?

Zorbs,

I'll have to think about that one....maybe because it's not an actual "flip" as you describe, it's more of a simple sliding of the hands to the bottom of the bell, as the bell swings up and forward. As soon as the bell starts to float, about hip level, that's when you "slide" your hands around the side, catching it around bottom corners.

I think the down catch is trickier because you have to "toss" it out of your hands and catch it on the handle.

I hope this helps a little, maybe I can break it down in a future video.

Lisa,

It's the same thing. It started out as a BU clean, but the movement I do has more of a "backstroke", similar to a swing, so I call it a "bottoms up swing".

I think a BU clean has more of a corkscrew decent, staying closer to the body, sometimes I do it that way.

Zorbs,

Reviewing the video I'm reminded that as you "catch" the bell your thumbs are still wrapped inside of the handle, so you never completely let go, that's where the "slide" is, and then you hands actually end up around the side, not the bottom corners, 1/2 on the handle (with thumbs inside), 1/2 on the bell.
