A closer look at the Chinese Pull:

.

1. Teaches an athlete the timing of the extension into the pull under/reversal under the bar using proper back and arm involvement.

2. Builds confidence for the athlete helping them clearly see how they handle driving higher weights.

3. Most importantly, for those practicing a more Chinese-style pull, allows the athlete to feel how far forward of their base they can be without actually tipping forward.

I saved the best for last! I’m so proud and honored work along side these two on a daily basis. Watching their dedication and hard work each and everyday towards practicing their craft is inspiring to everyone around them. These two moved well from start to finish and made all 3 attempts in Event 1 (hang snatch) at the NorCal Regionals. Congratulations Lisa Warren and Courtney Walker for closing out a great season!

Highlight reel from the women’s Event 1 (hang snatch) yesterday at the NorCal Regionals. This heat was STACKED so apologies for some of the spastic camera movement. Trying to catch them all go at once proved quite the challenge. Congratulations goes to Chyna Cho for placing 2nd overall and advancing to the 2014 CrossFit Games!

Had a great time yesterday talking weightlifting and smashing doughnuts during round 2 of my podcast with the fellas from Barbell Shrugged Podcast. If you don’t already, head over and give these guys some love. They’re funny, fun, and the information they provide in regards to fitness, strength and conditioning is top notch!

I had all my splits once upon a time. Let’s see how long it takes me to get them back. Shout out to my boy Johnny for capturing this shot of me challenging my goat.
