Body trajectory dictates bar trajectory. To allow the barbell to continue to travel back over the base of support, the shoulders must finish back and out of the way.

In coaching, we want to try and provide cues that will address multiple issues at one time. Being that there are 1,001+ things to remember, simplification of technical processes will free up mental and physical capacities resulting in improved performance.

The flip side is that cues are just that — cues — and should address technicalities from a foundation of understanding bridged between the coach and athlete. I would yell “magic unicorns” if it got my athletes moving the way I want to see them move.

In the Olympic squat (aka high bar back squat), a proper rack is formed by having the athlete retract and then elevate the shoulder blades. This prominently exposes the upper traps where the barbell can then rest securely without crushing the spine.

Rockin’ my Bless The Gym gear thoughtfully sent over by @kendrickjfarris.

Not only do I look and feel like a super hero. I’m pretty sure it made me stronger while I was training.

A good coach is that voice of reason; that vote of confidence during the heat of competition.

A good coach doesn’t need to push his/her athletes to train harder, but knows when to pull them back from training too hard and becoming injured.

A good coach is a leader inspiring his/her athletes to believe in larger message.

Does it warrant me even saying? Every athlete needs a coach :)

The word is out! Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris) and I came together to put down the 5 most important things you MUST remember when snatching:

1. Set-Up: Tight back, loose arms, and get ready to drive the legs through the platform.

2. Focal point: Eyes to the horizon (or above).

3. Chest Up: Throughout the lift maintains position of the body.

4. Finish the hips and shoulders: Be aggressive!

5. Lockout: Light or heavy, put that bar where you want it to go.
