Would it be strange to wish your legs were the size of someone’s arms? If not, I got dibs on @marksmellybell arms with @silentmikke running a close second.

Throwback Thursday (#tbt) a behind the scenes look at #SanFranciscoCrosSFit the week of 14.5 Open WOD. We had @jasonkhalipa, @richfroning, @grahamholmberg, @ager_bomb and @anniethorisdottir all in to get some work done. My favorite scene? Ava’s cameo appearance. Hearts.

Blocks are a great tool to help an athlete develop strength, speed, and an awareness during different points of the pull. An athlete who is tentative about pulling under the bar would benefit largely as well due to the more “reactionary” nature of the lift.

Set the blocks low to strengthen the position at/around the knees and higher to limit the time and distance to develop second pull power.

Just in case you missed this dropping yesterday!

Hey folks, I’m excited to announce my first Kickstarter project - The Art of Weightlifting! It’s a hardbound illustrated book where you can read my collected thoughts and theories on Olympic-style weightlifting. Unlike the typical textbook, the theories will be depicted with beautiful illustrations rendered by a team of fine artists curated by my creative pal @ericcalderon!

Got to train with some of the men from the Colombian national team last week after the seminar. It’s been fun chatting with each of the nations and learning how their system approaches the sport. Here, in Colombia, weightlifters are sponsored and supported by their government. So literally, weightlifting is their jobs and they are at work lifting twice a day. They use a Bulgarian approach to how they train with some slight modifications to meet the needs of the athletes.
