Awesome day down at CrossFit Roseville talking, teaching, and having discussions about weightlifting and even philosophy? The more I teach, the more I learn as a coach. Thank you everyone for spending your Sunday and hanging out with me!

The second pull.

Goal:

.

1. Delivers power to the bar using hips and legs.

2. Continues upward trajectory of the barbell.

3. Maximize height of the barbell.

Bonus:

.

1. Many athletes cut the pull short in an effort to dive into the hole. All things being equal, how high you can drive the bar will be the limiting factor in how much weight you can lift. Maximize the height and give yourself more time to get under the bar. Aka, finish your pull.

The first pull.

Purpose:

1. To transition the bar past the knees.

2. To set the bar up at the party (second pull).

.

3. To ensure good use of the legs to move the system up.

I didn’t realize the video yesterday would pull such a positive response! There were some requests to SloMo the video so here you guys go. A couple tips for this trick:

.

1. Build slow. Start with no weight and build a 10lbs plate at a time.

2. Kneel about 6”-8” away from the box otherwise you might clip your feet on the landing.

3. Goal is to get the hips open! You won’t be able to realize your power if the hips stay muted on this exercise.

Have fun!
