Great Slow Mo Video of the Mechanics of the Snatch
Here is a great slow motion video of the Snatch from the Side View. Notice how the bar comes to the athlete the Hips and Shoulders rise at the same rate. He never goes to the bar the bar comes to him. When the Bar is at the Hip his Torso is Vertical. The bar moves very little horizontally. Read more →
University of Sioux Falls Football Player works hard this Summer
I wanted to wish Sam Lantz good luck at Football Camp. Today was Sam’s last day with us this summer. Sam plays Football at the University of Sioux Falls. Sam learned how to develop Power from the Olympic Lifts. He saw very quickly the benefits of this methodology of training for Football.
Fitness Client shows skills in Weightlifting
I also wanted to give a big shout out to Kristen Ferranti. Kristen has adopted our Athletic Sports Performance Mindset and has taken to the Olympic Lifts with great ease. She has shown a glimpse of interest in the lifts and I may program them more into her workout. She battled hard today in her conditioning session and she kept going despite wanting to die. With time she will reach all her goals. Keep it up girl you did a great job today. I tried to kill you but you hung in there.
Wrestlers & Softball Athletes getting after it this summer
Congrats to Wesley Moore on hitting 120 kilos in the Clean & Jerk today. As a Collegiate Wrestler who is just coming back off a two year Religious Sabbatical his strength is regaining quickly. His previous best Clean & Jerk before he left was 135 kilos. Each session he is gaining back more and more of his strength. Keep it up Wes we can’t wait to see you on the mat this coming year.
Another top performer today was University of New Mexico Softball Player Tess McPherson. Tess has shown unbelievable determination in this offseason. She attacks every workout and her conditioning is coming into top form. She is going into her Sophomore Collegiate Season and we are excited to watch her play in 2014.
Basha High School Wrestler working Hard in the Offseason
Great training last night by one of our State Champion Wrestlers. Trey Ronayne Power Cleaned an easy 95 kilos. Trey won the State Championships as a Junior in the 180 lb weight class. He is going for his 2nd title this coming year. Keep it up Trey. His younger brother Joel who is in going into his Freshman year Clean & Jerked an easy 65 kilos. Both boys are working hard in the off season.
Strongman to Weightlifter
An easy Front Squat from Pro Strongman Ryan Bakke at the end of his Friday Workout. Ryan is making strides in his conversion from Strongman to Olympic Weightlifting. Timing and Technique are getting better every workout. There are many similarities that Strongman and Weightlifting share but there are also very different technical aspects of our movements. With time and hard work I believe Ryan can make an impact on the National Scene in a year year and half.
