Each week Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) spends time with me chatting about Chinese WL philosophy. Now a coach of the Singaporean national team, he lifted as part of the Chinese national team during his competitive career having a best snatch of 157kg and clean&jerk of 190kg as a 72kg lifter.
Coaching has him pretty tied up these days so his own personal training is only so-so. But still, his ability to be able to harness his power is pretty unbelievable. Here, Coach Wu is demonstrating to me how to use the quads to drive energy. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it.
Hanging out at Max’s Gym (@mxaita) this morning to get some work done on our squats. Max’s best back squat is 335kg/737lbs and holds an elite total in powerlifting. This exercise is called “the handle squat” used to build up the quads for a stronger leg drive.

Raphael Dozzi of Max’s Gym (@mxaita) demonstrating a deficit snatch deadlift + snatch high pull (2 + 2). This exercise is used as a way to strengthen the back and learn how to elongate the pull. @nikita789 @polovnikov105 @oxanaslivenko @vladimir.safonov

Lester Ho (@lesterhokw) is back with another lesson in biomechanics! This week we will touch upon bar speed and it’s role during application.
.
“Understanding bar velocity is not just knowledge on how fast the bar is moving once you initiate movement off the ground. It is also about when the maximum point of velocity is attained within your lift.
