Guys, there's going to be an Olympic Lifting Clinic here at the gym Saturday, March 13th. See below details. If you have any questions, let Lance know.

USA Olympic Lifting Clinic
Hosted by: Ultimate CrossFit and MuscleDriver USA

When/Where: Saturday, March 13th, from 9:00 – 4:00 pm
Ultimate CrossFit

The Purpose
With proper technique Olympic lifting helps build explosive power and teaches athletes how to accelerate or receive a load (be it an object or another person). The movements of Olympic lifts are common to many sports. Performing these movements efficiently through proper technique increases an athlete’s ability to improve both performance and avoid injury. The Program will cover demos, teaching progressions, and fault correction for the snatch, the clean, and the jerk. There will be plenty of hands on time, as well as, Q &A. The class size will be kept small to allow for plenty of personal attention.

The Coaching Staff
Glenn Pendlay – Head Coach
The Pendlay name is one of the most recognized in both the Olympic Lifting and CrossFit communities. Glenn received a master degree in Exercise Physiology and was taught the Olympic Lifts by Mendeleyev in Moscow. Glenn has been coaching since 1995. In 1999 Glenn started a coaching program in Wichita Falls, Texas that quickly became one of the top programs in the USA, consistently winning team championships at national competitions, and regularly placing lifters on international teams. Glenn is an international level coach, and currently coaches in northern California.

Jonathan North – Demonstrator, Assistant Coach
Jon is a full time Olympic Lifting Professional who trains with Glenn Pendlay at the California Strength Academy. Jon was introduced to Olympic Lifting as a member of the Sacramento State University football team and is now a top nationally ranked lifter in the US with best lifts of 150kg for the snatch and 177kg for the clean and jerk. Jon is known as an efficient and athletic lifter and is currently training for the Pan American Games.

Cost: $125 per person. Availability is limited.

Did anyone else get weird thumb burns from the renegade rows the other day? I've received many strange stares and had to explain how I received my strange condition more then a few times.

I did not get burns, but I used a lot of chalk.

On another note, about the olympic lifting clinic. Did anyone else notice that the 13th of March is when most people will be celebrating St. Patrick's day as the 17th falls during the week? Not that I am looking forward to being able to drink again without feeling guilty, but I'm just sayin..

I don't think chalk would have help...it was from my thumbs rubbing on the rubber of the dumbbell.

I would guess (hope) that it means you would run the 100m in 10m increments indoors.
