#tbt One of my CrossFit favorites Annie Sakamoto clean&jerking 87kg/190.5lbs at a BW of 57kg/125lbs. I had the privilege and pleasure of lifting with her down in Santa Cruz last year during an event at her gym.

Dmitry Klokov (@klokovd) jerk balances. It’s just amazing to witness the amount of base strength these guys have while performing their assistance exercises. Klokov says he spends about 70% of his time strengthening his back and about 30% of the time strengthening his shoulders. These are his “weak” areas; and when improved, improves his classic lifts as well.

Got a text from Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) the other day showing me this video saying this is the first time he’s pulled from the floor in 6 months. 6 months! Wow.

Everyone could use a little support from time to time, and he’s my biggest fan ❤️

@ilyailyin4ever clean movement sequence. Interesting point to note is where the balance of weight is during the power position for this style of pull.

Stepped out during the clinic to watch Nikita catch his workout with some coaching from Polovnikov.

#tbt, remembering the days when it was cold, wet and zero excuses were given. Christmas is over. Time to get back on that barbell!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope your day is filled with love, laughter and joy. #FuBarbell

Getting some squats in at The Sports Palace before heading out to spend the next few days with family. Run by Coach Jim Schmitz (@jimschmitz), this is the place where I first grew my roots. The walls have history dating back to the 70s and Jim can recount stories of every Olympic, World, National, and PWA local level meets. I’ve been to many wonderful weightlifting gyms and this is by far still my favorite.
