The low back is one of the weakest links in the body — especially if you consider it’s role in both structural support and extension in weightlifting. This is something athletes that have attended a seminar with me hear me harp on when we start to discuss programming considerations. Last weekend, I picked up another neat low back training exercise from @nikita789 during the Russian WL seminar: The Superman GHD Hold.

Raphael Dozzi of Max’s Gym (@mxaita) demonstrating a deficit snatch deadlift + snatch high pull (2 + 2). This exercise is used as a way to strengthen the back and learn how to elongate the pull. @nikita789 @polovnikov105 @oxanaslivenko @vladimir.safonov

Visily Polovnikov (@polovnikov105) clean pulling an “easy” 330kg to kick off the Russian WL seminar down at Catalyst Athletics. The seminar is now in full effect! It’s been a fun day of living, learning and watching Russian WL philosophy. Thank you Greg Everett and the Catalyst Athletics (@catalystathletics) team for hosting this weekend.
