Before CrossFit,  Clean and jerk would mean something else entirely. Another Olympic lift with a great aesthetic value, the Clean and jerk has turned out to be a CFSF favorite.

Great workout everyone. Super strong lifts Derrick, and Erin. Your children have the DNA of super beings, walking the earth performing insane feats of strength. Boyfriends watch out!

Some muscled the lift today with little finesse. The impressive thing is what will happen when they learn to move more efficiently, getting a fuller contribution of power from the hips, and pulling under at the top instead of just pressing up.

Whether you had difficulty getting the bar to the rack, or getting the bar up and overhead, everything came down to efficiency. Without over thinking the C+J, we talked about two things we wanted to occur: hips opening fully, and receiving the bar in an active shoulder position. Good job hitting those targets.

For some, this was the first opportunity to put everything they've been working on together into one big movement- the Clean and jerk. Nice work, and thanks for your attention to detail. Continue.

Are you eating like a caveman? At least most of the time, yes?

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.
