“Whip” refers to the flex and rebound of a barbell shaft under load. As the weight moves, the bar bends and then snaps back, which lifters can use to generate momentum in Olympic lifts. The right amount of whip helps with smoother, more explosive lifts, while too little (or too much) can throw off timing and control.
