Scaling: If you can't do a static pull-up, use a band that will enable you to do 2-3 reps at a time. I want quality reps. Treat this more like strength training rather than as anaerobic training. If you have 1-2 static pull-ups/chin-ups, don't worry about using weight. If you have 3 or more static pull-ups/chin-ups, use weight.

C. Run 800 meters for time.

DAY 4 WITH PIERRE

Today was very hot in Ottawa, 37 degrees hot.

The morning session went well but I am getting really tired. We took the afternoon off because of the heat warning that the city declared and then were back at it in the evening.

Pierre pushed me hard tonight. I got to the point on the snatch where I was so tired I just wanted to be done for the night and quit. I knew that if I executed the lift properly, and followed his instructions, that I would have to do less reps. One would think that each time your coach gives you instructions that you would want to try and follow through, but I don't think that necessarily happens. But tonight, I was so fatigued, and it was so hot, I just wanted to nail the lift so that I could be done.

Fatigue can be an important factor in becoming a better lifter. When you are exhausted your lifts have to be perfect. When you are fresh you can get away with a lot more because you can usually save the lift.

Apparently, I have a really good jerk. I had a scare the other night when my back kind of 'buckled' under the bar. I have had this problem before and the worst thing on the jerk is to be hesitant. I am still working on it and you can see in the video that I posted that I am actually moving away from the bar rather than aggressively driving under it. My other problem on both the snatch and the clean is that I am not aggressive enough when I meet the bar. I stop my pull too soon rather than let the weight of the bar drive me down. My strength on the lifts is that I am quite explosive and I pull the bar very high but now I need the courage to let the weight take me down into the squat. You can see that hesitation in my snatch. I don't get the bar back at my scapula. Instead, I stop the bar right over the top of my head.

The video of the young athlete clean and jerking is Sammy. Sammy is 14 years old, he weights 62 kg. Here, he clean and jerks 73 kgs.

I should also mention that Sammy, Nancy and Nico have only been lifting since November! Neither Sammy nor Nico had ever played a sport before they took up weightlifting.

DAY 3 WITH PIERRE

I AM NOW FINISHED 3 DAYS OF TRAINING UNDER PIERRE, THAT IS ABOUT 24 HOURS OF LIFTING. NO SUPPLEMENTARY MOVEMENTS, JUST FRONT SQUAT, SNATCH AND CLEAN AND JERK. OH, AND SOME TIME ON THE BLOCKS TO PRACTICE MY SNATCH.

Got a PR on my front squat today of 158 lbs, which I am pleased with. Mostly I am happy because even at that weight I kept my elbows up. I have learned just how important it is on the front squat to shift the hips forward to get under the bar. I mean really forward. My PR came at the end of the third training session of the day. Go figure - a PR after 7 hours of training.

I am starting to get more and more comfortable with the lifts. One of Pierre's most effective coaching techniques are the simple cues that he gives. Here is an example for the snatch: "slingshot the bar once it gets to your knees." You will see in these videos that the kids really do use their bodies as a 'slingshot' to hurl the bar behind them.

I have included a couple videos of some of Pierre's athletes. Nico just turned 18. His snatch PR is 85 kg (187 lbs)and he weighs 67 kg (147lbs). He and Pierre have their eyes on Junior Worlds.

Nancy just turned 17 years old. She is also looking to Worlds. Her 1RM in the snatch is 55 kg (121 lbs).

DAY 2 WITH PIERRE

Another training day completed!

I knew I would be physically drained from all of the lifting but I hadn't taken into account the mental fatigue. My lifts all look and feel so different from just two days ago - radically different - so you can imagine how much I have had to "think" about the lifts. I had a nap after our morning session and when Pierre told me it was time to wake up and head to the gym I really had to will myself out of my bed.

But Pierre was right, I am starting to get to the point where I am doing and not thinking. He said something today that really resonated with me, "Worry about what YOU are doing. Don't worry about what the bar is doing." If you master the movement then the bar will follow the way it is supposed to follow.

And finally, after day two, Pierre told me that I was starting to lift like a weightlifter rather than someone who lifts weights! Yeah!

Day 1 with Pierre

Well, I made it through my first day of training - barely. By the end of the day my erectors were so sore around my lower back, I wasn't sure I could finish - I didn't tweak it or anything, it is just that the erectors were working overtime all day to keep my back nice and straight. Pierre alleviated the pain by having me do a bunch of ab work! And it worked!

I went to a max front squat, snatch and clean and jerk three times today!

Pierre's gym is a really special place. He trains young athletes, 14-19 as well as adults. The kids are just incredible athletes and they train with fierce determination.

Pierre is a passionate coach and his sincerity in wanting his athletes to succeed shines through. Pierre uses a lot of visual metaphors and cues, rather than super technical cues that can bog the individual down.

More of the same tomorrow. Max Front squat, max snatch, max clean and jerk, then drop the weight a bit and do doubles.

The philosophy behind Pierre's coaching style, who is heavily influenced by his coach, Alexander Varbanov, is to fatigue the body to the point where you no longer can 'think' about the lifts, you just do them. Key to this training style is adaptation, not recovery. You must train the body to adapt to the immense stimuli. If you are recovered, you are not actually adapting to anything new, you are just experiencing stasis.

Being here and learning under Pierre has reaffirmed how important it is to reach out to those very special individuals that can have a huge impact on your life as well as your ideas around coaching, training and fitness. I have no doubt that Pierre's presence will be felt at our gym in much the same way that OPT's and Ido's philosophies and ideas have been taken up and integrated into Flux.

I can't wait to share everything I have learned with all of you!

Put away your equipment when you are finished with it. Except for the really big Kettlebells, the kettlebells should go on the rack, not on the floor. Equipment includes bands, boxes, etc.

If you leave blood, skin, DNA on the bar, please wipe it off.

Also, try and show up on time. We only have an hour for class so we need to use our time wisely.

Upper Body Structural Imbalance

Hello Flux Folks,

Many of our athletes have a tough time getting into that 'best fit' on the press, push press, jerk, front squat, thruster and clean. Anyone recognize a pattern here? The weight is in the frontal plane of the body.

If you have trouble keeping your elbows up during any of the above movements, or you go into a Mr. Burns posture with your upper back rounded out, or your elbows drop subtly on the first dip of your push press or your jerk, then PAY ATTENTION!

The potential problems:

- External rotation of the shoulder is underdeveloped.

How to fix it? Cuban Rotations at a tempo of 3 0 0 0.

- Tightness in the thoracic spine.

How to fix it? Dumbbell thoracic extension. 30 sec hold.



- Weakness in the Trap 3.

How to fix it? Trap 3 Raises at a tempo of 3 0 0 0.
