The first pull is all about placement with the goal being to optimize efficiency in the second pull.

A common fault often observed in baby weightlifters is insufficient loading of the hamstrings and insufficient shifting of the weight back towards the base of the heels during the first pull off the floor.

There is this weird myth out there that #OlympicStyleWeightlifting (OSWL) is hard to learn. It really isn’t THAT hard. I see people come into our Introduction to #CrosSFit Basics workshops all the time, learn the #snatch and #clean&jerk along with various other skills inside an hour and start lifting within that same session. However, if we take that thought one step further, I would say #OSWL is rather difficult to master.

Guess who happened to be in town and decided to drop into #FuBarbell? Dan John!

It was great watching a coach of his caliber do his thing and share his wisdom.

Here he is coaching @paddygriffin through his workout as he tapers for The Arnold’s Sports Festival next weekend in Columbus, Ohio. Legit.
