So the supple leopard (@mobilitywod) has goal of cleaning 400 by the time he’s 40. A great goal if I do say so myself.

From years of teaching others what it means to be in a good position, his own patterns are very well formed. One of the things I did notice, however, was that in his efforts of training for his 100 mile mountain bike race, the slow steady state has made his speediness not as speedy.

Hanging out with @jimschmitz at The Sports Palace down in So San Francisco, CA. This place has more history than a museum! I’m pretty sure the Eleiko bar I’m training on is just as or older than I am. Love this place!

Can’t imagine a better way to spend my holiday weekend but down in the dungeon.

Fun Day at CrossFit Visalia. An amazing group of athletes eager to learn weightlifting; and, I learned that I really enjoy warm weather!

It is truly a pleasure going around visiting all these different communities and seeing the tight knit bond that each one shares. As always, it really does have to start from the top before it can work it’s way down. Great work CrossFit Visalia!

Last day of filming for @CreativeLIVE for my 4 day Strength Biased Circuit Training workshop.

It’s been a fun 4 days being the opening act for Abel James (the fat burning man) and Dave Asprey (the bulletproof lifestyle).

Many beginners will often set-up at a different place from rep to rep. Being consistent in where you start will lead to consistency when you pull. Starting the set-up at a different place is like taking a different route every time you drive to work. It might make for an interesting drive, but the path will never become automatic thus taking up valuable bandwidth that could be applied elsewhere.

Keeping the elbows over the barbell for as long as possible will close the gap between the barbell and the lifter.

This will not only help with preventing swinging the weight out front but also facilitate a smoother relocation underneath the bar.
