Shadow snatching.

Old parking lot shenanigans.

Happy Friday everyone!

The first pull is all about placement with the goal being to optimize efficiency in the second pull.

A common fault often observed in baby weightlifters is insufficient loading of the hamstrings and insufficient shifting of the weight back towards the base of the heels during the first pull off the floor.

There is this weird myth out there that #OlympicStyleWeightlifting (OSWL) is hard to learn. It really isn’t THAT hard. I see people come into our Introduction to #CrosSFit Basics workshops all the time, learn the #snatch and #clean&jerk along with various other skills inside an hour and start lifting within that same session. However, if we take that thought one step further, I would say #OSWL is rather difficult to master.
