The journey towards the future is always clearer when you know where you’ve been in the past.

Not in the habit of logging your workouts? As a weightlifter, it’s pretty much a must or you’re flying blind.

Here is my list of must haves when logging workouts:

There are a few universal principles when it comes to weightlifting in which technique is then created:

1. We will always be the strongest when the bar is closest to our body.

2. To elicit the most mechanical advantage, balance (of the barbell + weightlifter system) must be balanced over the base of support (the feet).

3. The body is made to structurally support the most weight when stacked upright.

Want to find out if you’re a candidate for more trunk work?

Ask yourself these questions:

Bringing the bar into the hips is arguably one of the most difficult transition to make in weightlifting. This is the point where athletes will fall apart by either rushing the transition (bar contacting low on the thigh) or chasing the bar with their hips (keeping the bar out front). And yes, Kelly Starrett is about to PR his legendary mix grip clean at 158kg/347.5lbs.
