The CrossFit Open started several weeks ago, and if you like to see fit people in board shorts and tattoos do some amazing physical feats, tune in. After a few weeks of online competition, they whittle down the field to each region's best men and women. From there to southern California to find the fittest male and female on Earth.
Dan Bell is a technical weightlifting coach. His latest post is entitled Jerk Dip and Drive. It is well worth a read if you are having trouble with the last movement in weightlifting.
For all of you Donny Shankle fans, he recently began a Youtube channel of his own. He is coming back from a freak accident. He dislocated his shoulder during a snatch (extremely rare). The series of videos is in essence the story of his ongoing climb back up the hill toward heavy weight. These are certainly not the type of videos that you watch, unless you are a weightlifting fan... they are not the most exciting. However, they are educational.
Lastly, after coming out of retirement and putting on a show at the Arnold Classic, Jon North just hit 160 kg in the snatch for the first time in quite some time. (352 pounds!!!) This is how a competition should look.
