So Ya Wanna Get Better at O-Lifting?


It would seem like I'm trying to be sarcastic if I said the only way to get better at the Snatch and Clean and Jerk is to do them. You'll have to forgive me for that! Unquestionably, the only way to get better at anything is to practice.
Where do you go or what do you do if you don't have a firm idea of what to practice or how? The answer there might also seem a little brusque. CFLV might not be a bad idea.
We also have a great friend, John Broz, who just happens to be an Olympic Weightlifting coach. He has always been more than willing to help answer any of my questions in regards to the lifts.
Lastly, you could check out two particular dvds! "The World's Fastest Lift" and "The World's Most Powerful Lift", by World Class Coaching, are amazingly detailed analysis' of the Snatch and the Clean! These dvds take each movement and literally tear them into smaller progressions for practice sessions! The narration does tend to drone and leave one looking for a softer place to watch them, but at least you'll be dreaming about how to improve your lifting technique.

STP Update!
Victor Leach, of BioMechanics of Nevada, was the winner of our little "Share the Pain" competition!  Victor brought in the highest number of unique visitors over the three days last week!  Because of this we will give Victor the chance to write his own workout and submit it for approval and inclusion in an upcoming week of programming!  Thanks Victor and keep up the fantastic work!! 

Upcoming Events
Group Shoot Out:
We are once again getting together to shoot our guns at random junk and stuff in the open desert of Nevada! On Sunday, February 27th, we will be heading down to Sloan to waste perfectly good ammo and have a good time! We will meet at the gym at 12pm and head down from there. As always, we will have an impromptu dinner thing afterward!
If you would like to come out with us make sure you sign up at the front desk. Also be sure to bring plenty of targets! We didn't really plan ahead last time and ran outta junk to shoot at!
Foam Wow Clinic with Dr. Josh Satterlee:
Many of us have been rather anxious to attend the Foam Rolling Clinic that our good friend, Dr. Josh Satterlee puts out! We have set the date for the clinic to Saturday the 12th at 10am. If you are interested in participating be sure to sign up at the front desk! Cost is $25 without the purchase of a foam roller and $50 with the purchase!
