Greg Everett O-lifting Certification
Jan-28-2008 Posted under Olympic Weightlifting
Last weekend, Angel, Sack and I went down to florida for an Olifting Certification hosted by Greg Everett of Catalyst Athletics.
Greg has a way of saying things very bluntly but in a sophisticated way. You can tell that he is very educated and ensures that no matter what level you are at you will get something out of it.
-Learning how to breath before the split Jerk (aka becomming fat)
-Realizing the purpose of pointing the elbows out to the side when gripping the snatch.
-Picking up coaching queues and progressions for people have problems with early arm bends and getting underneath the bar.
-And meeting some really cool people!
Bellow is a picture of me and Angel receiving our certificates with Serena who is a crossfiter from New York about to do her first O-lifting competition next weekend.
Thanks my dear! My snatches were so damn smooth today my coach was so happy–he related like a dad who’s kid loses his training wheels
Awsome! You could see the progess made and comfort levels increasing in your lifts throughout the course of the cert, and I’m sure they will continue to imporve!
Always nice to have days like those leading up to your meet. I’m sure You’ll do awsome! just enjoy the whole experience of it and have some fun while your there
Well now at least I know my coach knows his stuff too! Hope to get up to Vancouver again to lift with ya! Now when is your next meet?
