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.

Kelly Starrett 235lbs/107kg mixed grip clean AND jerk. After years of not being able to jerk off the front rack, Kelly is experimenting with a new technique to be able to connect the lifts and go overhead.

Hanging out at the #SanFranciscoCrosSFit Movement and Mobility Seminar with the one and only Kelly Starrett. I’ve attended over a dozen of these seminars with Kelly and his talks just get better every time and the jokes get funnier too.

Bringing the bar into the hips is arguably one of the most difficult transition to make in weightlifting. This is the point where athletes will fall apart by either rushing the transition (bar contacting low on the thigh) or chasing the bar with their hips (keeping the bar out front). And yes, Kelly Starrett is about to PR his legendary mix grip clean at 158kg/347.5lbs.

Kelly Starrett sequence of a 134kg/295lbs power clean. Kelly uses a mixed grip cleaning and racking technique due to an old wrist injury. Epic.
