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.

Thank you Sean Waxman for hosting this very cool event and providing coaches and athletes with this unique opportunity.
