Just finished my second in a series of four clinics at Team Crossfit.  As is true of many clinics these days, the emphasis was on proper performance of the Olympic lifts.  One month ago we went through the training exercises that are depicted through videos in the training exercise video section of the Takano Athletics website (www.takanoathletics.com).  They are assistance movements selected to improve performance of the classic snatch.

We went through the movements and then everyone was sent home to practice them for the month.  All of them came back today with very few technical errors in the snatch.  A few more weeks and they should perfect their technique.

They will also be working on new exercises designed to improve technique in the clean.  Videos of these movements will also be posted on the Takano Athletics website this week.

In a month, we will have another session working on the technique of the jerk.  The final session will focus on the design of training.
