Triple Extension




It's the body position that most Olympic Lifters and CrossFitters must strike when performing the clean and the snatch. It is defined as full extension of the ankles, knees and hips plus a HUGE shrug of the shoulders. The driving force behind the elevation and upward momentum of the bar (or dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, keg, small animals and children, etc). Jump and land, my friends. Jump and land.

Yesterday's 6:30pm class pictured above KILLED IT yesterday. Beautiful (if immature) hang power snatches. There's a bit of arm pull that's happening, but it's because y'all don't trust yourselves and are jumping aggresively enough. It's okay though. You'll get better. We'll all get better!

Today's 6am class was a hit. It will be added to the schedule now! Thank Heidi when you see her.
