FuBarbell

Comparison of 4 power positions. The frames were captured right before the athletes started extending towards the finish at the top of their pull.

For the inevitable question of which is ideal? It will vary from coach to coach and athlete to athlete. Some will want to see varying degrees of shoulders over the bar to shoulders behind the bar along with the weight distribution biasing the front heel edge or going towards the base of the toes.

I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning than coaching weightlifting to a crew of motivated folks. Thank you CrossFit SkyBox for hosting FuBarbell.

The eyes help set the proprioception for the rest of the body. In other words, wherever you look, your body will tend to motion in that direction. This is largely a reason why weightlifters look directly ahead to the horizon when lifting.

I actually like having athletes look higher than the horizon level to help rotate the body more upright in the receiving position.

Getting some practice in during lunch yesterday. Blocks take a bit of effort to set-up at my box so it was a nice treat to have them already out and ready to go.

The vibe today at V CrossFit was on point!! Some great lifting coming out of the attendees. LA is always a fun trip for me.
