FuBarbell

I get asked a lot about what our club does for programming. My answer is always it depends on what block or cycle we’re on and what elements were trying to push. Snatch, clean&jerk, and squats are the staple throughout the week with accessory movements sprinkled in for flavor.

For my five day program, the heaviest days are on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday with Tuesday and Thursday being the lighter to medium level workouts.

For my four day program, the heaviest days are on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with the lighter to medium level workout on Wednesday.

Finishing the weekend with an Advanced Concepts Olympic-style weightlifting seminar at FitLab in Torrance, CA.

Keenan (@timesofla) killing it with a 10lbs clean&jerk PR at 285lbs and a 15lbs clean PR at 290lbs. Jaime (@jamiejoyce2) hitting a 5lbs PR clean&jerk at 210lbs and a 20lbs clean PR at 225lbs. Not a bad day at all!

Big thanks again to @danielsan for hosting this weekend’s events.

FuBarbell Ts and tanks are BACK IN STOCK! I want to thank everyone who purchased a shirt showing love and support for FuBarbell. It is through your support that we continue to do what we do. You may not know this, but I get texts from people all the time about random FuBarbell T-shirt sightings roaming about in the world.

Since San Francisco is just now hitting our hottest months, we are test driving a new color (Summer White) Ts for the men and tanks for the ladies. This color is extremely limited in quantity!

This has NOTHING to do with weightlifting, but this has EVERYTHING to do with why I love the people that surround me everyday.

So the supple leopard (@mobilitywod) has goal of cleaning 400 by the time he’s 40. A great goal if I do say so myself.

From years of teaching others what it means to be in a good position, his own patterns are very well formed. One of the things I did notice, however, was that in his efforts of training for his 100 mile mountain bike race, the slow steady state has made his speediness not as speedy.

Hanging out with @jimschmitz at The Sports Palace down in So San Francisco, CA. This place has more history than a museum! I’m pretty sure the Eleiko bar I’m training on is just as or older than I am. Love this place!

Can’t imagine a better way to spend my holiday weekend but down in the dungeon.

Fun Day at CrossFit Visalia. An amazing group of athletes eager to learn weightlifting; and, I learned that I really enjoy warm weather!

It is truly a pleasure going around visiting all these different communities and seeing the tight knit bond that each one shares. As always, it really does have to start from the top before it can work it’s way down. Great work CrossFit Visalia!
