Welcome to THE BARBELL STRIKES BACK!
On this episode James welcomes Frank Ford (@frank_ford_) back to the show! The two discuss the weightlifting seminar James coached at CrossFit Sona (@crossfitsona) on Saturday, April 24th. Topics include: the importance of taking notes at seminars if you're a coach, the definitions of "ugly" and "beautiful" snatches, why you shouldn't be hard on yourself as a beginner, the difference between drills that isolate parts of the full lifts and the actual snatch and clean and jerk, why you should be stubborn and fight to hold positions, not being a blind follower and not leading others to failure, manipulating teaching progressions to correct movement errors, spending time with the empty bar and practicing positions, Frank making a surprise snatch jump from 115 kilos to 130, some thoughts on Godzilla vs. Kong, and lessons learned from PRs the Sona crew made during the seminar.
Thank you for listening.
Enjoy!
