This is THEEEEE BEST VIDEO I've EVER seen on how to increase mobility. Ever since I started O lifting (at 66 ... I'm not 68), I've had absolutely no shoulder flexibility. I became an Ontario (Canada) champion AND a Canadian champion by split squatting the snatch. I'm gonna really try this. You make it look so easy, but I'll you a box full of air (I'm someone who has no flexibility at all), that I can't do it. I'll make this a routine every day. Thanks.
I just started crossfit and have been pretty overwhelmed with all the different movements and techniques. I have been literally giving my everything at the gym but only have seen some improvement. Then while doing some research I came across these training videos and it feels like I have unlocked a new world of training with so much attention to detail on each movememnt. I 100% recommend these videos to anyone who is new to crossfit coz a lot of times the coaches don't have so much time to work with you individually unless you pay for 1 on 1 training which could be expensive. THANK YOU from bottom of my heart for making these videos. You are the BEST and I hope you keep making more of these videos.
Excellent excellent. Now I know what it means to use the hips to move back. Soon as I tried it using your explanation (key words, "keep the weight at the heels)... All of a sudden I can squat much deeper than I was... Thanks so much
This is great! Ive been wanting to learn how to do these, thanks for the tips!
You're welcome, hope it helped!
Great video sir !
Great video, useful info and drills presented well! Thank you!
You're welcome, hope it helps!
OHS...arguably my most challenging movement..this will help me SO much!! Thanks!!!
You're welcome, hope it helped!
Great vid.
Best explanation on the mobility for the snatch especially on the squat part seen a lot on the snatch but no else explained the squat part, most talk about shoulder and thorax spine, great video👍🏋
Thanks for letting us know! Hope it helps:)
Really great. Thank you
Thanks so much for your amazing explanation you rock coach 💪🏼
You're welcome! Let us know if it helped:)
Great instruction Thank you
Very usefull inormation! Many thanks for the video, David.
You're welcome! Let us know how it goes:)
I'm the poster child for this video. Thanks for the tips. Adding these to my daily routine!!!
Good luck, let me know how it goes!:)
Thank you very much sir... With someone like me with powerlifting background, not being able to do an OS is so frustrating, I will do this 2 times per day every day... Again, thank you very much :)
Great, let us know how it goes!:)
Yes. Nice.
Great video! How many times a week would you do these drills? I can’t seem to get my OHS better than 45 degrees from upright with an unloaded bar :(
This is the type of work you can do almost daily. Changing existing habits and developing new positions is hard. For most people, this is a fight against sitting too much for many years. Personally it took me about a month of regular work to be able to achieve a full range of motion working on it about 5x per week. Good luck!
Thx!
Great information !!!
Thanks! Let us know if it helps.
That's very good info.thx
Our pleasure!:)
These suggestions will help me a lot, thanks. I have a question though, I fractured my elbow many years ago and I can't straighten it out, this really seems to limit me in my overhead squats and snatches since I can't lock out my one elbow. Any suggestions?
Thanks! I can't say for sure about your elbow. Unfortunately sometimes these types of injuries can prevent people from being able to hit proper position. There is a possibility that it is not a structural issue, but has been immobilized due to lack of use. It would certainly be painful to break that up, but it is possible through that massag, or graston type work that you can improve the range of motion.
Other than seeing a professional, one of the simplest and most effective things I tell people to develop straight elbows and shoulder mobility is hanging on a bar. I have one permanently hanging in my office door and accumulate time on it almost every day.
Hope that helps and let me know how it goes!:)
I should have mentioned that there are 2 screws in my elbow holding it together and have been told that it won't straighten out. But I will certainly try your suggestions, thanks a lot.
What if my hands can't touch the ground?
I like your lessons
Thanks!
Exelente informacion
Thanks! We hope this helped!
Thumbs up👍👍👍
Excellent video. Now I understand why this 66 year old brand new to weight lifting (snatch and clean and jerk) finds it impossible to do an overhead squat. I can do it, but my arms want to come WAYYYY forward. To do it right is impossible ... for me. BUT, I'm gonna get there.
Holy shitballs.. I need to get on this
Do it! Let us know how it goes!:)
LOL. You'd expect an instructor to show some physical sign of exercise...
Thanks for your comment! That expectation is actually something we are working to change. We believe in function over aesthetics as an indicator of fitness and using many different points of performance to judge a persons fitness level. Although form does typically follow function, of which my goal is currently general physical preparedness for hobbies like surfing, rock climbing (which benefits me to be leaner), skiing, snowboarding, etc. I have hundreds of videos of myself training, so let me know what you would like to see and I'll see what I can dig up. Thanks again and let me know if you have any additional thoughts or questions:)
@@paradisocrossfit1 ok, show me a real snatch, with real weight. Otherwise you can not possibly know what you're talking about. Even 60kg's will do.
No offence.
@@PatrickSavalle I'll be totally honest, I just spent way too long looking for a video of my old lifetime snatch PR to show you and I couldn't find it! Now I'm going to have to spend more time looking for it, because I really hope I have it still!
sAnywho, my liftime PR snatch is 185 when I was at a BW of around 160. All I could find is this video of me performing a 3 position snatch at 135lbs, so I hope that is sufficient. If not, here are a few other things:
-I spent a few years training for the CrossFit Games Regional level, performing Olympic Lifting 5x/week through the Outlaw Way method and coaching my regular group class in the same manner for over 2 years.
-In 2012 I helped found the Venice Barbell Club and have promoted the sport of Olympic Weightlifting in my gym for over 7 years, with multiple national level lifters that I have had the fortune of training with and providing a training environment for (notice American Record holder Derrick Johnson in the background) .
-I am by no means an expert lifter (as you can see from the video) and I have never really had a passion for weightlifting (especially the snatch), but I do enjoy the mental/physical challenge of performing the lift to the best of my abilities and believe in and promote its utility for general fitness to all. Thanks for listening:)

@@paradisocrossfit1 ok, I stand corrected ;)
