#tbt Remembering the good old days of the parking lot. Seems like ages ago, but we’ve only been indoors since this past January!

I used to get asked a lot when I posted photos of athletes like Matt Chan and Christy Phillips lifting off a 1.5” mat, “What are they standing on and why are they standing on it?” Well, the short answer is they’re standing on a mat (I’d prefer the use of a wooden board but we haven’t gotten around to picking up any from the hardware store), and I use it to help athletes feel what staying back in the finish means.

I get asked a lot about what our club does for programming. My answer is always it depends on what block or cycle we’re on and what elements were trying to push. Snatch, clean&jerk, and squats are the staple throughout the week with accessory movements sprinkled in for flavor.

For my five day program, the heaviest days are on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday with Tuesday and Thursday being the lighter to medium level workouts.

For my four day program, the heaviest days are on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with the lighter to medium level workout on Wednesday.

Finishing the weekend with an Advanced Concepts Olympic-style weightlifting seminar at FitLab in Torrance, CA.

Keenan (@timesofla) killing it with a 10lbs clean&jerk PR at 285lbs and a 15lbs clean PR at 290lbs. Jaime (@jamiejoyce2) hitting a 5lbs PR clean&jerk at 210lbs and a 20lbs clean PR at 225lbs. Not a bad day at all!

Big thanks again to @danielsan for hosting this weekend’s events.

FuBarbell Ts and tanks are BACK IN STOCK! I want to thank everyone who purchased a shirt showing love and support for FuBarbell. It is through your support that we continue to do what we do. You may not know this, but I get texts from people all the time about random FuBarbell T-shirt sightings roaming about in the world.

Since San Francisco is just now hitting our hottest months, we are test driving a new color (Summer White) Ts for the men and tanks for the ladies. This color is extremely limited in quantity!
