Week 6 of practicing the lat sweep + quad punch. The positions and movement are becoming more natural allowing the speed to progress naturally. I missed this power clean at 83kg/183lbs, but I am pretty pleased with the way the coordination of the lift is coming together under this new technique.

My buddy Matt tossing a giant caber at his last Highland games competition. So very honored he was reppin’ the #FuBarbell love. Definitely one of the coolest things done while wearing the FuBarbell tee AND in matching pink socks with a kilt. Legitsville.
