Lester Ho (@lesterhokw) is back this week with a talk on momentum. Coaches will tell you not to “grip and rip” a bar off the floor, but do you know why? The obvious answer might be “to hold/maintain your position”, but what does that really mean? Lester is here to decode these messages in this 2 part series on the role of momentum in your lifts.

Part 1

“Momentum is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object. In weightlifting, the goal is to generate sufficient momentum to displace the barbell overhead.

Missing my friends down in South America (@fuerzacrossfit, @kallpacrossfit, @tuluka). I got to hang out with some pretty great people during my travels. Here is Juan Ruiz Morelo of the Colombian national team making 184kg/405lbs fly. Juan and Carlos Berna came down after one of my seminars to hang out and play. The result? Lots of fun, talked shop the whole night, and I set a lifetime PR on the snatch.

Hung out at Max’s Gym today in Oakland and lifted with Max (@mxaita) and JoAnn Aita (@joannaita7). It’s great to get out of your own club, train in a different space, and also get a fresh pair of eyes on your lifting. Max is a master at the squat. It’s been great being able to pick his brain on squat technique and mechanics. Here he is smashing an easy 270kg/594lbs. Legitsville.
