Jonathan Wong (@iamjwjw) has been a student of Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu) for the last few years and has been traveling around teaching seminars with Coach Wu.

He’s in the states for the next few days which gave us a chance to sit down and go through a lot of Coach Wu’s theories and teaching progressions. It’s good stuff if you haven’t had a chance to take a look at it yet. You can find the syllabus on FuBarbell FaceBook page at www.FaceBook.com/FuBarbell.

I was flipping through the photos taken by @chalkmonkeycrossfit when I did my seminar last December in Pearland, TX @crossfitarmada. So amusing to see my “action shots” as I’m teaching. Some of my facial expressions are priceless.

Having troubles with your start position off the floor? Need to learn how to stay on your pull longer? Or, maybe you just want a little variety in your training? Try snatching/cleaning off a 2” deficit. Benefits of deficit work include:

.

1. Because you will be in a slightly more upright position, the use of the legs to initiate the movement is more forced reinforcing a stronger start off the floor.

Analyzing the bar path is a quick and easy way for the coach or athlete to start painting a picture of how the athlete is moving. The bar path tells it’s own story based on the trajectory.

The bar path will usually express some “S” like shape (some coaches like to call it a straight pull, but there’s still some wave to it). Maintaining balance in the foot along with proper sequential initiation of the body starting with the legs then moving to the hips, back and shoulders will result in a bar path that’s tight while optimizing the levers of the body.

Tommy Kono talks quality over quantity. Focusing on each rep and how you can improve upon the next rep will move your performance along faster over treating weightlifting like a punch card at work and just clocking in the hours.

Hanging out at BodyTribe Fitness listening to Olympian Tommy Kono (one of the greatest weightlifters of all time) speak history, technique and his philosophy on weightlifting. My kinda Sunday.
