Hey guys, we created an FAQ based on some of the Qs we got in last week. Check it out!

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!

Inconsistency of footwork can pose a host of problems when practicing the Olympic lifts. Some of these challenges include reduction of speed under the bar, unstable bottom/catch position, and a less efficient reorientation to the rack position. All of the above possibly resulting in a missed attempt on the bar. Bummer.

Great day teaching the foundations seminar. This was a good looking group with lots of good movers. Everyone had great questions and everyone was very enthusiastic to learn! Thank you all for coming out. I’ll be back in Jersey again next week!

Great Level Up seminar today at CrossFit 215. We got to chat about some more advanced topics and the questions throughout the day were on point! Thank you Micah for hosting a great event and also for joining me on a workout after the seminar. I had a great time today!

Would it be strange to wish your legs were the size of someone’s arms? If not, I got dibs on @marksmellybell arms with @silentmikke running a close second.

Throwback Thursday (#tbt) a behind the scenes look at #SanFranciscoCrosSFit the week of 14.5 Open WOD. We had @jasonkhalipa, @richfroning, @grahamholmberg, @ager_bomb and @anniethorisdottir all in to get some work done. My favorite scene? Ava’s cameo appearance. Hearts.

Blocks are a great tool to help an athlete develop strength, speed, and an awareness during different points of the pull. An athlete who is tentative about pulling under the bar would benefit largely as well due to the more “reactionary” nature of the lift.

Set the blocks low to strengthen the position at/around the knees and higher to limit the time and distance to develop second pull power.

Just in case you missed this dropping yesterday!

Hey folks, I’m excited to announce my first Kickstarter project - The Art of Weightlifting! It’s a hardbound illustrated book where you can read my collected thoughts and theories on Olympic-style weightlifting. Unlike the typical textbook, the theories will be depicted with beautiful illustrations rendered by a team of fine artists curated by my creative pal @ericcalderon!
