FuBarbell

Week 4 of practicing the lat sweep + quad extension. The coordination of the two is coming along quite nicely. This is 73kg from the blocks which would be a PR for me. The timing of the lift still needs to be better to make the extension smoother, but I’ll take this for now.

Just spent the morning with Dave “the God Father” Spitz and @kellystarrett at CalStrength (@cal_strength) this morning for their team morning session practice. Dave’s a wizard when it comes to engineering a plan of attack for his team.

Do you know how to leverage your body? Or, in other words, which style of pull is better suited for you? Before we begin to explore these topics on a deeper level, Lester Ho (@lesterhokw) is here to lay a foundation and plant those seeds of thought.

“SAME LEVERS, DIFFERENT PULL

.

Levers determine how the weighted develops force and moves around the bar in the most efficient and effective manner. Understanding the length of your levers and how they relate to each other is as important as understanding how to use them.

Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) working up to 107kg for a triple in 15min during his seminar in Malaysia. Even with little time to train these days, Coach Wu has motor patterns that are deeply practiced and understands how to use his body efficiently.

Coach Wu will be in the states this Friday. Looking forward to hanging out with him and continuing to learn about Chinese weightlifting methodologies in person. Last chance to sign up for Coach Wu’s seminars in LA (@torrancecrossfit, @danielsan, @jamiejoyce2) and SF (@unitedbarbell, @jwerba, @verymiao).

With a box name like CrossFit Love (@crossfitlovephilly), the day was destined to be great. NYC and Philly are a wrap! Great to meet all the athletes today and expose them to some new movement concepts.

I ❤️ NYC! Day one at @crossfitconcretejungle complete! This is one of the best groups that I’ve taught. They moved well, asked great questions, and were so much fun to be around that it made the day go by so fast! On my way to Philly for day two tomorrow. CrossFit Love, here I come! @crossfitlovephilly

Week 3 of practicing the timing and technique of the lat pull + quad punch. First video is from practice yesterday at the top of the session where you can see my traps and lats coming in too early/fast prior to my legs extending. Second video is 2 hours later trying out different cues and lines of thought to coordinate the body better. The timing is much better on the second lift yielding a pull that is more accurate, stable and ends up driving the barbell higher even after 2 hours of training. I’m pretty sure I snatched 65kg a zillion times during this session.
