A little extra 411:

Got to train with some of the men from the Colombian national team last week after the seminar. It’s been fun chatting with each of the nations and learning how their system approaches the sport. Here, in Colombia, weightlifters are sponsored and supported by their government. So literally, weightlifting is their jobs and they are at work lifting twice a day. They use a Bulgarian approach to how they train with some slight modifications to meet the needs of the athletes.

Chillin’ with the crew chatting it up during the Q&A portion of the seminar.

Got invited to train at The Olympic Training Center in Guayaquil, Ecuador by head coach Profe. Edison Carriel. Here, the women and men lift in separate halls. I got time in with the junior women yesterday evening and trained along side them. What a great experience watching so many girls (all under the age of 20 with the youngest being 8) lift weights. Thank you Profe. Edison Carriel and my hosts at Kallpa CrossFit (@kallpaevents) for organizing such a fun evening!

Bless The Gym and FuBarbell are on a mission of spreading the good word of Olympic-style weightlifting. Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris), 2x Olympian, and I (@dianefu) put our heads together and decided to come together and unite our coaching talents. For this one time only, we will be packaging this experience together for you into a 3-part workshop held at Jason Khalipa’s (@jasonkhalipa) NorCal CrossFit in San Jose, California. Come join us from 6/8/14-6/10/14 for this once in a lifetime experience!

Just in case you missed this dropping yesterday:

Announcing my Olympic Weightlifting Bundle, with four back-to-back training plans to teach you the foundations and quickly ramp you up to lift fast and strong. I’m very proud of this program and my team has been laboring away for months to make this possible.
