RAW STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING TRAINING AND ONLINE PROGRAMMING FOR ATHLETES ON THE GOLD COAST.

The Clean and or power clean is probably the most important lift in increase an athletes power production. In the clean the bar is brought from the ground to the shoulder in one movement (gross movement) however there are several critical points to the clean that we should all focus on. The second part of the WOD is dynamic power combined with agility which is moving/changing direction at speed.

TRAINING CROSSFIT ATHLETES ON THE GOLD COAST

Why include hip thrusts as an accessory exercise to your Olympic Lifting program? Because weightlifting is all in the hips! You do a hip thrust every time you perform a snatch or clean.

At CrossFit Norwest we are constantly striving to improve the turnover phase of our snatches and cleans, this action is an integral part of these tricky lifts. A lot more attention tends to be paid to the third pull/turnover of the snatch rather than the clean. Why?? Likely because in the snatch the consequences of poor execution tend to be more dramatic and noticeable, however the turnover in the clean also deserves some attention! The difference between making a heavy clean and getting a 1RM, failing a lift or gassing muscles at a Sydney CrossFit games day comes down to timing and precision.
