FuBarbell coach/athlete Kristin Newman (@strength_geek) at USAW nationals this weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kristin (+75kg) did an outstanding 83kg snatch and 105kg clean&jerk for a total of 188. A big shout out and thanks to Jasha Faye of Jasha Faye weightlifting for helping coach Kristin through her session.

#FuBarbell Saturday club. Cameo by Hugo (aka the fatty) ❤️
The Chinese pride their pulls on being fast, smooth, and close to the body. It’s so rhythmic that this 63kg/138lbs lifter can make a 130kg/286lbs double look just as effortless as his 90kg/198lbs warm up. Being incredibly forward focused on their technique, the Chinese will not advance the weight in a training session unless the quality of the movement is precise.
Only a few hours left to get my Footwork for Olympic-Style Lifting at the introductory price!

Good footwork is one of the most important requirements to build success with your lifts. I’ve seen many athletes come through my doors that are strong, but lacking in footwork. After dialing in their footwork their balance, stability, and consistency dramatically improves. I made this plan as this is a pattern I’ve observed in many athletes, and I wanted to share it with the broader Olympic-Style Weightlifting community. Enjoy!
