A fun little recap of your favorite posts in 2013. It’s been an amazing year for FuBarbell, and I have all of you to thank for your support. I look forward to 2014 where we will continue the journey of exploring Olympic-style weightlifting sharing with you all tidbits along the way.
Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Got a text from Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) the other day showing me this video saying this is the first time he’s pulled from the floor in 6 months. 6 months! Wow.
Everyone could use a little support from time to time, and he’s my biggest fan ❤️

@ilyailyin4ever clean movement sequence. Interesting point to note is where the balance of weight is during the power position for this style of pull.

Stepped out during the clinic to watch Nikita catch his workout with some coaching from Polovnikov.

#tbt, remembering the days when it was cold, wet and zero excuses were given. Christmas is over. Time to get back on that barbell!

Getting some squats in at The Sports Palace before heading out to spend the next few days with family. Run by Coach Jim Schmitz (@jimschmitz), this is the place where I first grew my roots. The walls have history dating back to the 70s and Jim can recount stories of every Olympic, World, National, and PWA local level meets. I’ve been to many wonderful weightlifting gyms and this is by far still my favorite.

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!
