We are 4 weeks out from the Bless The Gym + FuBarbell Olympic-style Weightlifting Camp! Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) and I will be uniting our coaching skillz and dropping some crazy knowledge bombs over the course of 3 days. A lot of you have been asking, but we will not be taking this show on the road so come hang out with us at Jason Khalipa’s (@jasonkhalipa) NorCal CrossFit and let’s learn how to defy gravity!

In case you missed this dropping yesterday… Bless The Gym and FuBarbell are on a mission of spreading the good word of Olympic-style weightlifting. Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris), 2x Olympian, and I (@dianefu) put our heads together and decided to come together and unite our coaching talents. For this one time only, we will be packaging this experience together for you into a 3-part workshop held at Jason Khalipa’s (@jasonkhalipa) NorCal CrossFit in San Jose, California. Come join us from 6/8/14-6/10/14 for this once in a lifetime experience!

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.

Got a text from Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) the other day showing me this video saying this is the first time he’s pulled from the floor in 6 months. 6 months! Wow.

Sunday morning repost from one of our lifters @avina86. He spotted @kendrickjfarris and I scheming it up and jumped in for a little photo op! Thank you for making me look incredibly #jacked. My shoulders look like they’ve got their own set of shoulders.

Final day down at The 2013 Reebok CrossFit Games. Stoked to see who’s going to be crowned Fittest Man and Woman on Earth!

Rockin’ my Bless The Gym gear thoughtfully sent over by @kendrickjfarris.

Not only do I look and feel like a super hero. I’m pretty sure it made me stronger while I was training.

The word is out! Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) and I came together to put down the 5 most important things you MUST remember when snatching:

1. Set-Up: Tight back, loose arms, and get ready to drive the legs through the platform.

2. Focal point: Eyes to the horizon (or above).

3. Chest Up: Throughout the lift maintains position of the body.

4. Finish the hips and shoulders: Be aggressive!

5. Lockout: Light or heavy, put that bar where you want it to go.

Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) reeling in 200kg/440lbs power jerk for not 1 but 4 missing only barely on the 5th.

What happens when one weightlifter (@holleymangold) sees another weightlifter (@kendrickjfarris) at University Nationals? A whole lot of silliness!

Such a great photo — made me smile. Had to repost!
