Good overhead receiving position has the athlete supporting the barbell down the middle of the body using the joint structures to create a sturdy rack. Any deviation from this stacked posture will result in the forces around the joints to not be centrated and cause the athlete to lose efficiency in supporting the weight.

Kelly Starrett 235lbs/107kg mixed grip clean AND jerk. After years of not being able to jerk off the front rack, Kelly is experimenting with a new technique to be able to connect the lifts and go overhead.

Pro tip: wrapping athletic tape. A little wrap of tape can go a long way in lending stability, confidence and comfort to the joint.

1. Grab a roll of athletic tape. They usually come in 1.5" width; and these days, in a plethora of colors to match your mood. I find Mueller and Johnson&Johnson to be my favorite brands cause they don’t turn into bracelets as soon as you start to sweat.

2. Unravel a 8"-12" strip.

3. To prep, use @tonyblauer Spear™ hands. This allows room for your wrist to expand and not cut off circulation.

Weightlifters will use assistance lifts to try and strengthen their position under movement. Deadlifts, pulls and high pulls are commonly inserted after the classic lifts are performed to get some extra work in before moving on to parts of the workout.

The benefit, however, really only comes if you perform the various pulls the same way as you would snatch or clean.

To test if you do, try performing a:

deadlift + pull + high-pull + snatch/clean.

Did they feel the same or did each lift feel different?

Sunday morning repost from one of our lifters @avina86. He spotted @kendrickjfarris and I scheming it up and jumped in for a little photo op! Thank you for making me look incredibly #jacked. My shoulders look like they’ve got their own set of shoulders.

Final day down at The 2013 Reebok CrossFit Games. Stoked to see who’s going to be crowned Fittest Man and Woman on Earth!

Hanging out at Waxman’s Gym lifting AND watching the ladies get after the Clean&Jerk ladder for the 2013 Reebok CrossFit Games. This is what we call having the best of both worlds. #Winning
