Olympic lifting course.
Dave butterfield , coach at crossfit teesside , is putting on a 12 week course once a week concentrating on the two big Olympic lifts. Aside from another of our coaches callum cambell I doubt there's many people in the country who have progressed in oly lifting as much as Dave b in such a short time. He's a true technician of the lifts!
Now, if anyone needs help on tekkers in oly lifts..it's me! Current pb's are 62kg snatch, and 80kg c&j , not mean figures by any stretch, the snatch was basically a muscle snatch and the jerk was pretty much a strict press...so I ain't going any heavier without some technique ha!
I get there half hour early after sitting at home in my training gear watching crossfit games on YouTube for the past 2 hours, serious zone accessing going on there like! So as I'm early I'm off for a run to warm up, ten min later I'm back and the gym is open...game on!
1st 6 weeks are dedicated to the snatch.
Start off with the burgener warm up , but nice and slow spending bit of time on each section. Onto some high hang snatch work with the pvc pipe, after bit we move into an empty bar still focusing from the high hang and adding very small weight increments as we are ready, when we've found a nice comfortable weight not to heavy we are off into a 5 min tekkers on the clock, every 30 sec do 2 high hang snatches, got a little sweat on @ 30kg ha. We end the season with some heavy bottom hold squats, 3 seconds in the hole then explode up, working up to a 1rm , 95kg felt tough but maybe could of pushed for but more but session was ending so happy with that.
Good sesh.
