Great work for the FuBarbell team this weekend at the Hassle Free Open and Invitational.

Pat Griffin (@paddygriffin) went 5/6 with 87kg/115kg. This was a PR total and lifetime PR on the clean&jerk.

Katie Fiscalini (@katiefisc) went 4/6 with 62kg/74kg. This was a PR total and lifetime PR on the snatch.

Kristin Newman (@dancefightlift) went 4/6 with 82kg/105kg. This is 4kg above her total at The American Open positioning her well for Nationals this July.

For those of you who enjoyed my podcast with the @barbellshruggedpodcast boys, here’s another one with Nick Horton, “The Iron Samurai”, from Weightlifting Academy.

I got a chance to meet Nick a few years ago at The American Open and have since been following his work in the weightlifting world. He’s a great guy and even better coach. This was a fun hour plus that we just got to hang out and banter about all things gym.

Nice Clean and Jerk PR @sean_mz! It’s really incredible to see this much progress in such a short time on my program.

Here is more of what @sean_mz has to share about his experience so far:

CrossFit Open 14.2

Wow, CrossFit HQ sure is clever! I wait in anticipation each week to see how they will spin these WODs; and just when you don’t think they can come up with something original, CrossFit HQ never ceases to amaze me. Love it.

This week’s challenge has two movements, the overhead squat and chest to bar pull-ups. At face value, this seemingly innocent couplet seems simple but it’s far from simplistic. Demanding a rather large end range for both, either one or both can be the nemesis for the athlete within this WOD.

Points of Performance for 14.2:

Lisa Warren (@lrwarren88) has one of my favorite rhythms for the clean. Very smooth and always in full control of the movement.

Very bummed I couldn’t make it out to Columbus, OH for The Arnold Sports Festival this year. These larger events are when you get to watch some great lifting and catch up with athletes and coaches that you don’t get to interact with on a regular basis. PRs are made and stories are shared over beers post competition.

You can then further imagine my disappointment when I learned Lydia Valentin (-75, Spain) was putting up a workshop the very same weekend.

Fortunately, one of my remote athletes Jennifer Hsia went out to attend the fun and sent over a detailed summary of her experience.

The boys down at PushPress have done it again! A cool timer featuring motivational words from great athletes and coaches such as @carlpaoli @behemothcf @jamiejoyce2 @elyseumeda @liftlikelindsey @ltfisher12 and the man @mikeburgener himself! I was also honored enough to be a part of this talented crew. And, in true PushPress form, this timer is yours free for download at the App Store.
