Jonathan Wong (@iamjwjw), student of Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu), came through for a visit last week in San Francisco. We spent much of the time training and discussing concepts taught to us by Coach Wu of Chinese weightlifting philosophy. We decided to put out a series of posts to help everyone further understand the message that is being delivered from out East. Enjoy.

Great day @crossfit503 today! Thanks for all the athletes for coming out and hanging out for the day learning weightlifting. Portland city and people remind me on a mini San Francisco. Love it.

As you can see, my auto-timer skillz on the camera need some work. I jumped the gun on running back to the phone and ended up with this masterpiece! Lol

Just landed in Portland, OR for my seminar @CrossFit503 on Sunday. Decided to drop into Vulkan Weightlifting located @CrossFitPE. Thank you for the warm hospitality. It feels great to have a place to shake off the travel when you land.

First thing I saw was this written on the floor. It was faint, but still very prominent. Guess who passed through here weeks before for a workout as well?

Training sesh with Oxana (@oxanaslivenko) and Vasily (@polovnikovvasiliy). Their coach Vladimir (@vladimir.safonov) is observing in the background. Would’ve loved to watch Oaxana do some snatch and clean&jerking, but it seemed she was just hitting up some accessory work this day. @nikita789

I want to first off congratulate Lester Ho (@lesterhokw) in welcoming the newest addition to the Ho family — Lochlan Ho! Amongst practicing the new skill of intermittent sleeping, Lester was able to put together a post teaching us about the subtle differences in lever lengths.

.

“When teaching the lifts, there is a stereotypical progression of positions taught especially when teaching within a group setting. Even for individual one to one coaching, each coach would have probably developed their positions they deem ideal for lifting.

Jonathan Wong (@iamjwjw) has been a student of Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) for the last few years and has been traveling around teaching seminars with Coach Wu.

He’s in the states for the next few days which gave us a chance to sit down and go through a lot of Coach Wu’s theories and teaching progressions. It’s good stuff if you haven’t had a chance to take a look at it yet. You can find the syllabus on FuBarbell FaceBook page at www.FaceBook.com/FuBarbell.

I was flipping through the photos taken by @chalkmonkeycrossfit when I did my seminar last December in Pearland, TX @crossfitarmada. So amusing to see my “action shots” as I’m teaching. Some of my facial expressions are priceless.

Having troubles with your start position off the floor? Need to learn how to stay on your pull longer? Or, maybe you just want a little variety in your training? Try snatching/cleaning off a 2” deficit. Benefits of deficit work include:

.

1. Because you will be in a slightly more upright position, the use of the legs to initiate the movement is more forced reinforcing a stronger start off the floor.
