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.

My @codyapp Olympic-Style Weightlifting bundle has been my post popular course, and now has over 1K members! This week @codyapp and I have partnered with @stupideasypaleo and we’re re-launching this 12-week program for 20% off! This series will develop and improve three major lifts: the snatch, clean and jerk.

Dmitry Klokov (@klokovd) demonstrating a pause snatch while hanging out in an exaggerated knee position. Looking on is Ilya Ilyin (@ilyailyin4ever), Zygmunt Scmalcerz and Yasha Khan (@yashakahn). This movement appears to be a staple in his training helping him build a stronger back for the lifts.

Seminar today at CrossFit734 (@abrewercf734) is a wrap! What a great crew today with many different communities coming together to explore weightlifting with me. We had some really good lifting happening today, and I want to thank everyone that took the time to come out and learn.

This wraps up last seminar for the 2014 year. Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm! The 2015 schedule will be out shortly. I continue to look forward to meeting as many of you as possible. You all are the best!
