Unreal Speed and Accuracy

(video via Adi the Beastmaster)


This is a training video of Pyrros Dimas, a World Champion Olympic Weightlifter (who's won 3 Gold Medals) out of Greece, doing what he does best.

See how he opens completely before getting under the bar? Notice the speed at which he drops under the bar in his jerk?

He's Superman with a barbell.

WOD

3RM clean & jerk

The clean is a full squat clean. You may split or push jerk- whichever you prefer.

Post loads to comments!

Need some motivation and accountability with your nutrition? This isn't a true challenge (a la Look Good Naked or PaleoRx), but it's fun to have some people with similar goals ESPECIALLY before the holidays.
Hey Ya'll! 
Welcome to the most Informal Nutrition Challenge! Since the holidays are just around the corner Aimee P, Lillian, and Sheena decided to put a group together to go through a challenge to build smarter eating habits. There will be no points or prizes and logging your daily intake will be OPTIONAL. If you decide to log your food, feel free to write it in this group page. It has helped a lot of people in the past, especially with accountability. 
There are a number of people who have experience with eating clean, including The Paleo (and/or Primal) Diet, who will be participating so if you have ANY questions at all -- please don't hesitate to ask Lillian, Sheena, and Aimee P.
Here are a few simple "guidelines" to the challenge:
  • Eat lean meats, seafood, vegetables, some fruit, + nuts & seeds
  • Work out
  • Avoid processed foods, sugar, grains, and/or dairy
  • Get enough rest/sleep
  • Have fun!
We'll also be providing more information as we go along (hence the "Informal") and will also be sharing our favorite recipes. Hope this will help those who have been meaning to eating more clean to see improvements in workouts, improvements in energy levels, and improvement with how clothes fit!
