@ilyailyin4ever clean movement sequence. Interesting point to note is where the balance of weight is during the power position for this style of pull.

Stepped out during the clinic to watch Nikita catch his workout with some coaching from Polovnikov.

#tbt, remembering the days when it was cold, wet and zero excuses were given. Christmas is over. Time to get back on that barbell!

Getting some squats in at The Sports Palace before heading out to spend the next few days with family. Run by Coach Jim Schmitz (@jimschmitz), this is the place where I first grew my roots. The walls have history dating back to the 70s and Jim can recount stories of every Olympic, World, National, and PWA local level meets. I’ve been to many wonderful weightlifting gyms and this is by far still my favorite.

Messing around down at CrossFit Hollywood continuing to explore different styles of barbell movement.
The Russians and Zygmunt Smalcerz (USOTC resident coach) are teaching a straighter pull off the floor with horizontal movement being mitigated by the act of the hips coming in to make contact with the bar.
My technique with this style of pull is far from perfect, but I will continue to explore and report my findings.

Had the pleasure of working with Jackie Perez (@jackie585) today dialing in some snatch technique. I’m very excited with the progress we made on our very first session. The first two lifts (53lbs) is what she came in with at the top of the session with and the last lift (123lbs) is after a solid 90min of work. Nailed it!

Position is key when it comes to creating movement that is productive towards your activity. Here are 3 points of performance in relation of the barbell when it passes the level of the knees:
1. Weight balanced in the foot
2. Shins vertical against the ground
3. Shoulders and chest up and covering the bar

It’s been a great week hanging out and learning new styles of movement from, as Zygmunt Smalcerz would put it, “the best in the world!”
I also got the chance to push forward the FuBarbell collaboration with @ericcalderon who got some pretty cool shots during our filming.
