My favourite animal is an athlete noticing it all come together and being proud of themselves 🥰

Cues are just a reminder of the solution to the problem you’re trying to solve. The icing on the cake if you will.

While yes, it’s totally possible that you will stumble upon the perfect cue shared randomly on the internet that will transform your lifting, you’re more likely finding the icing for a cake you never baked.

Did I hit with that analogy or nah… anyway definitely try “shunt forward” next time you split jerk, you’re welcome.

Gotta be ok with being bad at it if you want any chance of being good at it in the future ✌🏼

Follow me for more intense core exercises lol.

Think weightlifting looks pretty cool but no idea if it’s something you could do, or where to start?

All going to plan, this post will help as an overview🤞🏼

Weightlifting is not a pursuit reserved for the exceptionally strong in the prime of their youth, there are opportunities that will suit almost anyone, across most ages.

I do think a critical component is being part of a club. While of course that is what we offer at Kotahi Barbell Club, there are clubs all around the country. If you need any support getting connected, I’m happy to help (know a couple of people)

Sidra learns to sn**ch, from scratch, part 4 (of 4!).

For me a ‘complete’ sn**ch movement initially is from the hang- there’s enough going on I don’t see any need to faff around with angles and timing from the floor just yet.

So we build to this and then start playing with what reminders and ways of conceptualising the movement work for her. Not bad for a day 1, huh?

Learning to sn**ch, from scratch, with Sidra.

There’s always a bit of chaos when we get this stage of starting to put things together.

Sometimes people can really struggle with this because they want to get it right from the get go. I applaud that goal but also you’re not going to immediately slay a weird movement you’ve never done before, so chill out and embrace the reality that doing it average-to-poorly is a necessary step in the path to doing it well.

Part 4 and the final product to come

The details around what you’re doing becoming increasingly important the more you progress- they’re how you find further technical efficiency and consistency once you’ve nailed the basics.

They’re also where it’s reeaaaal easy to get overwhelmed and lose sight of what the point is. If you’re feeling overwhelmed bring it back to the question of ‘what am I ultimately trying to achieve here?’ and that should help sort the priorities.

Sidra learns the sn**ch, from scratch, part 2.

Grip and receiving position secured, now we’re looking at how we get there: the basics of bar path (bar go straight up= good) and feet movement.

What’s next? You’ll see in part 3 (there’s 4 altogether dw this isn’t GTA6)
