Life is full of curve balls. My barbell is my outlet.

Getting the hips through under the bar is imperative to a solid receiving position in the jerk.

A few cues that may help are:
- “punch the front foot forward”
- “step off the platform”
- “lead (forward) with the hips”
- “punch up, jump down”

What are some of your favorites?

A common thread amongst athletes and coaches in our community is the yearn to learn. Hungry to become better, I find most of us are intelligent, well read, thoughtful and insightful just to provide a few adjectives.

Going to a weightlifting meet is like a hub where decades of experience and knowledge just wait to get plugged into and all at the cost of a simple hello and asking a question.

The one, the only Julie Foucher (@juliefoucher). Julie competed in “Team Linda” Friday at the CrossFit competition portion of The Arnold. Lucky me got to say hi in passing as we saw each other wading through the thousands of bodies walking the corridors of the expo.
