Last week Jon Wong (@iamjwjw), student of Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu), talked about the purpose of the back squat in light of Chinese weightlifting methodology. Today, we will move into a discussion of how to establish proper positioning for this style of back squat.
Highland Games world champion Matt Vincent (@matsoexplosion) came through last week to do some filming for his new “Drifta Lifta” series (https://m.youtube.com/#/user/mvincent4130). He wanted to do a quick segment on Olympic lifting and we had a little under an hour to get some work done.
Long weekend? Yes please. Fatty enjoying the extra day off from his usual 9-5. Happy Labor Day! #FuBarbell
You train hard. You play hard. You work even harder. Don’t lose sight of what ties it all together. Family.
Shout out to the man that keeps my back and body healthy @drtremaynedc!

I’ve been learning about Chinese-style WL methods now for almost 8 months. Through many long Skype sessions and my personal interpretation of Coach Wu’s (@wuchuanfu) explanations, I was able to start changing my movement patterns to start matching what I felt was a closer representation of this WL style.
It wasn’t until Jonathan Wong (@iamjwjw) came through last week that the process became clearer of the involvement of the lats and quads. My timing is still a bit off here, but 75kg/165lbs did feel pretty crisp racking on the shoulders.
