Working from the hang or boxes helps to develop speed strength, positional strength and, in Jackie’s (@jackie585) situation, confidence under the barbell. So much fun to watch the progress each week!

To continue the string of PRs this week, Jackie Perez (@jackie585) knocked it out of the park with a clean, rack jerk and clean&jerk PR of 173lbs all in one session. CrossFit athletes have the best work capacity. Like a boss.

Kristin Newman (@dancefightlift) post surgery PR clean&jerk at 238lbs/108kg. Lifetime PR is 244lbs/111kg. I think we’re going to blow that out of the water soon. Boom.

Who wore it better? Kelly Starrett (@suppleleopard) or Jackie Perez (@jackie585). Having some fun in between sets.

Courtney Walker (@walkercourtney5) clean&jerks 83kg/183lbs and cleans 88kg/193lbs at 57kg/125lbs. Awesome sauce.

#tbt One of my CrossFit favorites Annie Sakamoto clean&jerking 87kg/190.5lbs at a BW of 57kg/125lbs. I had the privilege and pleasure of lifting with her down in Santa Cruz last year during an event at her gym.

Messing around down at CrossFit Hollywood continuing to explore different styles of barbell movement.

The Russians and Zygmunt Smalcerz (USOTC resident coach) are teaching a straighter pull off the floor with horizontal movement being mitigated by the act of the hips coming in to make contact with the bar.

My technique with this style of pull is far from perfect, but I will continue to explore and report my findings.

Had the pleasure of working with Jackie Perez (@jackie585) today dialing in some snatch technique. I’m very excited with the progress we made on our very first session. The first two lifts (53lbs) is what she came in with at the top of the session with and the last lift (123lbs) is after a solid 90min of work. Nailed it!

Pop Quiz! Why do some lifters lift with their mouths open? The answer will be discussed on Friday’s post.
