So cool to see how far CrossFit has come in such a short amount of time. I’m sitting at @WanderlustSalon flipping through @Vogue Magazine and who do I see? None other than our very own @AnnieThorisdottir looking mighty and strong with a 5 page spread! Legit.

REPOST FROM @barbellshruggedpodcast: “BREW SOME COFFEE! New episode w/ @dianefu is posted! #barbellshrugged #dianefu #weightlifting #fubarbell”

It’s here! Head over to www.barbellshruggedpodcast.com to hang out with me. And while you are there, get your learn on with their All Star line up of podcasts!

A closer look at the Chinese Pull:

.

1. Teaches an athlete the timing of the extension into the pull under/reversal under the bar using proper back and arm involvement.

2. Builds confidence for the athlete helping them clearly see how they handle driving higher weights.

3. Most importantly, for those practicing a more Chinese-style pull, allows the athlete to feel how far forward of their base they can be without actually tipping forward.

REPOST FROM @barbellshruggedpodcast: “Do you practice the fundamentals of weightlifting? Are you getting lost in all the details of what elite level lifters are doing? This week on the @barbellshruggedpodcast we’re joined by weightlifting coach @dianefu of FuBarbell”

Round 2 coming up with my favorite boys! Always a great time with these guys.

I saved the best for last! I’m so proud and honored work along side these two on a daily basis. Watching their dedication and hard work each and everyday towards practicing their craft is inspiring to everyone around them. These two moved well from start to finish and made all 3 attempts in Event 1 (hang snatch) at the NorCal Regionals. Congratulations Lisa Warren and Courtney Walker for closing out a great season!

Highlight reel 2 from the women’s Event 1 (hang snatch) at the NorCal Regionals. Brooke Ence swept this event with her easy peasy 185lbs lift while Alessandra Pichelli took 1st place in our NorCal Region winning her a spot at the 2014 CrossFit Games!

Highlight reel from the women’s Event 1 (hang snatch) yesterday at the NorCal Regionals. This heat was STACKED so apologies for some of the spastic camera movement. Trying to catch them all go at once proved quite the challenge. Congratulations goes to Chyna Cho for placing 2nd overall and advancing to the 2014 CrossFit Games!
