Anyone in the Crossfit community is surely aware of the fundraiser that is underway all over the world right now, Barbells for Boobs! It is a great cause and all the proceeds go towards women who need financial support for mammograms, breast cancer,etc. You can donate money or participate in a Crossfit workout called "Grace", which consists of 30 clean & jerks with 135#/men, 95#/women done for time.  More info can be found at Crossfit.com or you local Crossfit affiliate. Please do what you can to donate some money to this charity and if at all possible, lift some barbells to help the cause. Save the tata's!

One of my favorite exercises, or complexes, to perform with weights is the one handed Snatch+Jerk. Its as simple as ripping a weight up from the ground to overhead in smooth movement, then bringing it back to the shoulder and punching it skyward to full lockout again before returning it to the ground or for another rep. Myriad implements can be used here, Kettlebells are a very popular and excellent choice, but so are dumbbells and even a barbell. It sounds simple and the best make it look easy, but it can be tricky to learn how to perform correctly and efficiently. Here are a few of us performing the movement below. Don't forget to inquire about our kettlebell and bodyweight workshop being held 11/06/10. Email me or comment below for more details.

-We played with sandbag and push up races today, again! Take 4 sandbags from 75-125 pounds and carry each about 30 yards as fast as possible, then perform 20 pushups, carry them all back to the starting point and perform 15 pushups, repeat one more time and finish with 10 pushups. Times ranged from 4:24 to 5:39. Tough but fun. 
 
 

Perform all necessary warm ups for barbell movements. 

1.     Clean & jerk 10x1
2a.   Bench press bodyweight 3-5 x max reps
2b.   Pullups 3-5 x max reps

3.     Farmer's carries 3-5 x max distance
4.     Abs- Hollow Rock x 2 minutes
 
 
We started today with thick bar clean and jerks. Honestly, it's one of the top five ways to start a man's day. The only thing better in Frank's opinion, (Frank is the tall, gangly fella who makes fart noises in the video frequently) would be to start the day be drawing an unusually large penis on the whiteboard for everyones viewing pleasure. But he trains for something else:)  Not that there's anything wrong with that... Back to the training.  After that, repetition effort bench pressing followed by repetition effort pullups. Talk about upper body pump! I gots my swole on, big time. Finally, we got out the farmers bars for some carry's for distance. Simple day, hard work, good times. 


1.)     Thick bar clean & jerk 10x1
2a.)   Bench press bodyweight 3-5 x max reps
2b.)   Pullups 3-5 x max reps
3.)     Farmer's carries 3-5 x max distance
-we used a moderate 155lbs on each handle, as we are trying to increase conditioning a little more, bigger weight to come. We all want to be the first to carry 315 per hand!


Enjoy the video, I know not all of the lifts have perfect form, that's why we watch, coach, correct and continue.  It's when you don't know the faults, or worse, ignore the fault's and fail to correct them that present's a problem. 


Train to win, 
Matt
