FuBarbell coach + athlete Kristin Newman (@strength_geek) is not only a national level Olympic-style weightlifter, she also carries an elite total in powerlifting and is about to qualify for nationals in strongman. A modern day physical culturist, Kristin is here today with a post about the application of straps.

"You don’t want hand pain from over-use or torn callouses to get in the way of your training. That’s where straps come in.

What an exciting weekend with USAW nationals! We had over 400 lifters registered equally split between male and female contenders. Each year, we find the number of athletes within this sport growing and also the number of athletes qualifying for national meets increasing. This is an exciting time for our sport.

Here’s a congratulations to my friends down at Superior Athletic Advantage (@crossfitsaa) — Mallory Rawlings (@malrawlings) — for competing in her first national meet. Mallory competed in the 58kg weight class and went 4/6 (62kg snatch, 77kg clean&jerk). Great job!

FuBarbell coach/athlete Kristin Newman (@strength_geek) at USAW nationals this weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kristin (+75kg) did an outstanding 83kg snatch and 105kg clean&jerk for a total of 188. A big shout out and thanks to Jasha Faye of Jasha Faye weightlifting for helping coach Kristin through her session.

So cool to see how far CrossFit has come in such a short amount of time. I’m sitting at @WanderlustSalon flipping through @Vogue Magazine and who do I see? None other than our very own @AnnieThorisdottir looking mighty and strong with a 5 page spread! Legit.

Got one last hang snatch sesh in with Jackie Perez (@jackie585) today before her team heads to CFG Regionals. We were able to really dial in her movement by the end of the session giving her some confidence in her openers for the competition. Best wishes to her and the @csagym team next weekend!
