OLYMPIC Weightlifting MEET Day Today is the Olympic Total Day. Just as the CrossFit Total Day (consisting of Strict Press, Squat, and Deadlift), we are aiming at reaching our 1 Rep Max on two movements.  The entire class is dedicated to these two movements.  You will be put through a warmup and then we will get after each lift.

Olympic Total

Find your 1 Rep Max Squat Snatch Find your 1 Rep Max Clean and Jerk (Full Clean=Squat Clean)

The Clean and Jerk (210kg ) Donny Shankle

The Squat Snatch (199kg) Kendrick Ferris (watch those hips and that explosion…sickness)

If you ever want to research the C&J or the Squat Snatch, “google” or “youtube” either of the above U.S. Olympic Weightlifters. Technique is what allows them to go as heavy as they can and why they are world class. And if you are confused about the conversions…

1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds

Yes, they are moving some heavy loads!!  

NOTE:  Tomorrow is Paleo Sampler Saturday.  Bring in your favorite Paleo recipe and treats for others to share and try.  Remember! You can only eat if you participate and bring a dish!!!
