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.

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.

Do you perform your best in practice or does the fire come out during competition?

Being in the heightened state of competition gives you an extra boost of adrenaline. The way you harness that energy will determine if you’re the type to make PRs at meets or if the PRs only come when you’re in the comfort of your own platform.

Yes, I tried not to, but I totally fan-girled Tommy Kono at the TK Open - VIII last weekend at the meet.

For those of you who do not know this man, check out www.tommykono.com and learn the history that is legend.

Tommy Kono, now 83, still travels from Hawaii to the mainland once a year to host this event and then holds a clinic the day after.

Andrea Searby snatch technique work 85%x1x8.

We’ve been working hard at getting Andrea to stay back during the finish of her pull. Things are really starting to come together putting her on the fast track to some larger numbers in the not too distant future.
