Had a great time yesterday talking weightlifting and smashing doughnuts during round 2 of my podcast with the fellas from Barbell Shrugged Podcast. If you don’t already, head over and give these guys some love. They’re funny, fun, and the information they provide in regards to fitness, strength and conditioning is top notch!

I had all my splits once upon a time. Let’s see how long it takes me to get them back. Shout out to my boy Johnny for capturing this shot of me challenging my goat.

Less than 2 weeks out from the Bless The Gym + FuBarbell Olympic-style Weightlifting Camp! Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) and I will be uniting our coaching skillz and dropping some crazy knowledge bombs over the course of 3 days. A lot of you have been asking, but we will not be taking this show on the road so come hang out with us at Jason Khalipa’s (@jasonkhalipa) NorCal CrossFit and let’s learn how to defy gravity!

The start position allows you to create leverage against the floor when initiating the first pull. The importance of this is to set the system up for a good second pull. There are dynamic starts, static starts, high hip starts, low hip starts. How do you know which is best suited for you or your athlete? A few things to consider would be:

.

1. Comfort of the athlete. Can the athlete adopt the shape he/she is trying to get into for the start? If flexibility or strength is an issue, temporary adjustments need to be made.

Working within the CrossFit and Olympic-style weightlifting communities, I come across many men and women within the Armed Services. I am reminded almost daily of the sacrifices these men and women make to protect our country. For this I am thankful and I wish everyone a very happy Memorial Day. #FuBarbell

There’s just never a dull moment at San Francisco CrosSFit (@sfcf). Check out my friend Mark Bell (@marksmellybell) floor pressing ALL the weights (insert meme here). We will be choosing winners from yesterday’s #HipCircleContest. This was a fun giveaway. We had some really great entries of photos and videos. Thanks for playing everyone!
