CalStrength powerhouse (@cal_strength) and Caffeine&Kilos (@caffeineandkilos) came through to lift today at FuBarbell! I caught a bunch of video that I’ll be threading together for you guys tomorrow.

Jonathan Wong (@iamjwjw), student of Coach Wu (@wuchuanfu), came through for a visit last week in San Francisco. We spent much of the time training and discussing concepts taught to us by Coach Wu of Chinese weightlifting philosophy. We decided to put out a series of posts to help everyone further understand the message that is being delivered from out East. Enjoy.
