Barbell Tuesday, Snatch work

This is some pictures from Tuesday's Snatch workout. 

V-sits everyone

V-sits were part of the warm-up last night as were other gymnastic moves. 

I added a "Gym INFO" box to the right column please take a look at it, Coach Laura and I will be out of own over the next 2 weeks and there will be schedule changes. This box will also be used for announcements about upcoming classes as well.

Have a great day!!

Unicorns...

Jerk boxes are to weightlifters what unicorns are in fairy tales..... mythical creatures.

Weightlifting shoes?

This is what happens when you come to your O-lifting session and you have forgotten your shoes. You lift in your dress shoes and make it onto the blog.

From what I hear Fight Gone Taylor Sport kicked some ass yesterday! 

Great Job Coach Laura!!!!

Olympic Weightlifting on Tuesday

We continued the Clean Technique on Tuesday. Everyone  did a great job!!

Don't get discouraged these are not easy movements and they will take time to master. Not even the masters in the sport do them perfectly all the time.

Have a great weekend!!

Angel with WINGS

Part of the warm-up was box jumps. We didn't know that Angel had Wings.

Great job!!!

Shoveling, pull-ups and torn calluses.
