Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) demonstrating depth jumps to train reaction time and explosiveness of the quads along with finding balance and support in the landing position. How you land during these jumps is an indicator of what position your body will default into when you snatch and clean.

Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) snatching 120kg/264lbs at a bodyweight of 70kg/154lbs. With very little time to train these days, he says he hasn’t attempted a weight this heavy in five years. Still very smooth.

When your quadz cast a shadow over your knees. That’s the #quadlife. @wuchuanfu @jamiejoyce2

Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) demonstrating the clean “fa li la” (panda pull) using the quads to push the bar up and lats to finish the extension. The Chinese use this exercise to develop tempo, timing and gauge momentum on the barbell. @iamjwjw

Starting Sunday with a 8kg PR on my back squat with 131kg/288lbs on the bar thanks to Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu)! Squatting over 300lbs feels within reach again. @iamjwjw

Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) has officially landed in LA! I’m on my way down to meet up with him now. This is going to be a great week for everyone involved. But without further ado, here’s the last piece of the Chinese methodology Back Squat series by Jonathan Wong (@iamjwjw).

Tempo:

.

The tempo (or movement rhythm) which an individual performs the Back Squat is critical to skill and strength transfer to the Snatch and Clean & Jerk.

Week 4 of practicing the lat sweep + quad extension. The coordination of the two is coming along quite nicely. This is 73kg from the blocks which would be a PR for me. The timing of the lift still needs to be better to make the extension smoother, but I’ll take this for now.

Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) working up to 107kg for a triple in 15min during his seminar in Malaysia. Even with little time to train these days, Coach Wu has motor patterns that are deeply practiced and understands how to use his body efficiently.

Coach Wu will be in the states this Friday. Looking forward to hanging out with him and continuing to learn about Chinese weightlifting methodologies in person. Last chance to sign up for Coach Wu’s seminars in LA (@torrancecrossfit, @danielsan, @jamiejoyce2) and SF (@unitedbarbell, @jwerba, @verymiao).
