D’Angelo Osorio is California grown. He started weightlifting for HassleFree Barbell Club with Kevin Doherty at Abraham Lincoln High School at the age of 14.

Now 20, D’Angelo is now coached by Zygmunt Smalcerz at the OTC. His best official lifts are 155kg/195kg and best unofficial lifts are 160kg/200kg in the 94kg weight class.

When asked what his biggest take away from the OTC was, it was to finish the pulls on his snatch!! D’Angelo has his sights set on Rio 2016. Show him support at @ooosorio!

Spent the morning with Coach Wu again today. Today he tried explaining to me the concept of using “chi” to create stability in the body allowing the muscles to stay in a more relaxed and ready state to exert energy. Can’t say I’ve been able to wrap my brain around this concept yet; but with Coach Wu’s patience, I’m slowly learning a little more each week. Here Coach Wu demonstrates a casual 352lbs/160kg snatch balance double. Impressive.

Video cred: @CoachWu

New practitioners of weightlifting will often walk themselves up to the bar, put their shins right against the bar and set-up with the majority of their weight sitting back in towards their heels. The outcome in this style of set-up often results in the lifter either pulling the bar around their knees, shooting the hips up first while rising, scraping the shins up during the first pull and/or being off balance over the base.

Got to hang out with the strong boys and girls down at NorCal CrossFit a couple weeks back when @kendrickjfarris dropped into town to hang. We did triples on the rack jerk and Kendrick led the crew through his warm-up and coached the boys as they worked up in weight.

Videoed here are: Jason Khalipa (@jasonkhalipa), Garrett Fisher (@garret0329), Miranda Oldroyd (@crossfitmiranda), and Molly Vollmer (@molly_vollmer). Lauren Fisher (@ltfisher12) was in to play too, but she was tapering to slay Jr Nationals that weekend.

Continuing the string of strong friends coming through to play. Ben Claridad from Midtown Barbell was in lifting with us last week. Here he is pulling an “easy” 143kg/315lbs snatch from a deficit and following it up with some “panda” snatch pulls. In talking to Coach Wu from Singapore, he has no idea where that name came from. Just like when I asked Dmitry Klokov, he’s never heard of Smolov or The Russian Squat program. Fun facts.

Annie Thorisdottir (@anniethorisdottir) in town to play this past week. Watching her move, she looks stronger than ever! Here she is jerking an easy 93kg/205lbs. Legit.

Just in case you missed this dropping yesterday…

I’m very excited to announce that you can now train with me online! For those who have attended my FuBarbell seminars and want continued learning, or for those of you who have never trained with me in person and want to develop a working Snatch and Clean and Jerk, then listen up!
