Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) shared this photo with me the other week. A couple boys from the sports school in Coach Wu’s village where he grew up/trained as a child. Remember where you came from.

Black friday special!! Only 24 hours left to get my @codyapp Olympic-Style Weightlifting Bundle at the sale price! In this 12-week program, we dive into the mechanics of the clean, snatch and jerk to clean up your form and get your lifts cleaner and more efficient.

Boone of CrossFit SAA (@crossfitsaa) demonstrating a strong finish in his pull. Does the bar have a tendency to get away from you when it leaves your hips? Or, do you like to hop forward when receiving the bar? To hedge these pesky problems from happening, make sure the legs don’t give up on pushing through the floor until hips are done with its work. One of my favorite cues to help with solving this problem is to have the athlete think about “punching” their quads at the top of the pull.
