Just in case you missed this dropping yesterday:
Announcing my Olympic Weightlifting Bundle, with four back-to-back training plans to teach you the foundations and quickly ramp you up to lift fast and strong. I’m very proud of this program and my team has been laboring away for months to make this possible.

Christy Phillips (@christycrossfit), 5x CrossFit Games athlete from the Mid Atlantic region, came through for a visit last week. Her weightlifting coach (2000 Olympian @caraheads) and her have been working at cleaning up some details on both the snatch and the jerk.
Christy’s challenges on the snatch were:
1. Not relocating the feet to receive the bar.
2. Trying to “flip” the bar up with her back.
3. Brushing low on the thighs.
This resulted in her snatch hovering around 135lbs.
Christy’s challenges on the jerk were:
One word, dope! So this is going to be a grip and shoulder burner for sure. For everyone gunning to get through the AMRAP plus, managing the grip, shoulder and heart rate will allow for a better flow through the workout.
1. I’d recommend suiting up with a lightweight lifting shoe such as the Reebok CrossFit Lifters. The heel will give you an added advantage on the rower, wall balls and cleans.
2. Keep the grip relaxed on the rower setting an even pace to get the workout started. Blowing it out hard here will not gain you much value as you advance to the toes to bar.
