[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Hey Folks!

Beauty WOD!  Some tired grip strength it looks like.  The cleans looked pretty nice though – so keep them up and maintain that connection to the bar.  Remember, a Squat clean can simply be a failed power clean – meaning you can practice meeting the bar exactly where it comes to, and then riiide it down into that squat.  Makes for a more pleasant experience than diving into the bottom and waiting for the bar to arrive.  Heavy barbells don’t sneak into squat parties… they kick the door in and shotgun a smirnoff ice all up in your grill.  You don’t want that happening.  No one wants smirnofs being shotgunned…

Coaching tip of the day – Turn that core on!  “but what about if I’m doing a KB swing?”  -Core.  On.  “Snatches?”  -Core. On.  as with EVERYTHING ever 🙂  Make that mental checklist, and start it with “core on” – as without it, something else will compensate, and nothing is particularly good at compensating for the “core”.  So set your pelvis by squeezing your butt, then tighten up that “stomach” and THEN Git’ ‘er Goin’![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhlWKDq5bug”][vc_accordion][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
