Just wrapped up a great workshop at @tuluka. 60 athletes came to weightlift on a Saturday night. Argentina knows how to roll. Epic.

Understanding positions during the pull is key to being able to execute a consistent movement pattern during the lift. This consistency over time allows the body to find efficiency and develops a solid foundation to the continue building up and advancing the snatch and clean.

A game I like to play with my athletes is ‘Simon Says’. The goal being whether or not they can reproduce each position I want to see with mechanical precision and no hesitation. Spending an extra 5 minutes prior to lifting priming these points will pay dividends come time to load up the bar and go.

When the two strongest men you know each drop you a gift on the same day, the universe is telling you today’s a good day to lift some heavy sh*t! Pumped to test drive my new Sling Shot wrist wraps and Reebok CrossFit Lite TR.

Thank you: Mark Bell (@marksmellybell), Jesse Burdick (@jesseburdick), Reebok (@reebok ), ReebokONE (@reebokONE). You guys are the bee’s knees.

The link is also in my profile.

Here is more information on the bundle, in case you missed it:

The bundle includes four back-to-back training plans to teach you the foundations and quickly ramp you up to lift fast and strong.

The clean to sotts press I posted the other week might be one of my favorite diagnostic tools, but the snatch to snatch squat press runs a very tight second. Fun to mess around with, you can highlight deficiencies producing this movement with very light weight. It also serves a great primer on snatch days to ready and activate the body for lifting and receiving weight.
