One of the coaches demoing a push press. Many of the girls were exhibiting a bad habit of sliding backwards when performing the lift. This sends a portion of the energy backwards instead of upwards. If this happens during a heavy jerk, there won’t be enough power transfer to drive a the weight to the necessary height, or it ends up shooting the lifter out away from the bar.

All the coaches here are former national level lifters. Coach Shi competed in the 48kg weight class. Coaches here don’t really lift anymore after retirement so the kids like to goat them on when they demonstrate.
