Chillin’ with the crew chatting it up during the Q&A portion of the seminar.

Rockin’ my Bless The Gym gear thoughtfully sent over by @kendrickjfarris.

Not only do I look and feel like a super hero. I’m pretty sure it made me stronger while I was training.

The word is out! Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) and I came together to put down the 5 most important things you MUST remember when snatching:

1. Set-Up: Tight back, loose arms, and get ready to drive the legs through the platform.

2. Focal point: Eyes to the horizon (or above).

3. Chest Up: Throughout the lift maintains position of the body.

4. Finish the hips and shoulders: Be aggressive!

5. Lockout: Light or heavy, put that bar where you want it to go.

Special guest @trainerbob in the house! I’m a fan :)

Recovery on the snatch requires the athlete to maintain a rigid trunk as the legs work to elevate system.

Lack of adequate strength in trunk to secure the bar overhead can express itself as the lifter getting pinned in the hole, the trunk tilting off axis to the shoulders during recovery, and/or instability during recovery resulting in potential loss of the load (usually forward). #FuBarbell #weightlifting #crossfit #crossfitgirls #Oly #Olympic #Olympicweightlifting #usaw #snatch #clean #cleanandjerk #technique #inspiration #motivation #instagramfitness #fitspo #dianefu

Having a solid set-up establishes a strong starting position to enter the movement. This reduces the chance of needing to make compensatory adjustments as you move along the way.

To set-up:

1. Feet underneath hips.

2. Hook-grip.

3. Shoulders over the bar with the hip crease above the level of the knees.

4. Extend and brace the back.

5. Elbows out.

6. Chest up.

7. Knuckles Down.

8. Hips open to the arms.

9. Eyes to the horizon or higher.

10. Barbell lines up over the base of the toes.

Coach @carlpaoli said this would make me go faster.
