Such good advice, so many times I will leave the bar unhappy because I didn’t reach the number I was hoping for instead of leaving happy with the work I’ve done.
I was doing this today and the goal was 115 but I worked my way up to 4 reps in 105 with 2 front squats. I’ve been doing CrossFit for 6 months. I couldn’t make the 115 in tree attempts so I came straight to your channel to look for advice! Thanks a lot to the both of you and all the team!
Watched this video this morning before going for new 1RM and blew my old one out of the water! Your tips and instruction are so great. Thanks for sharing, I love your content.
Yes thank you!! Been needing this. I'm slowly transitioning to oly lifts after training closer to a powerlifting style for two years and it's been rough!
Thank You Kristi, for the tips as I’m a beginner in CrossFit. From Tasmania / Australia. Your you tube channel is so informative, very much appreciated Cheers 👍
Ok, the knuckle down tip @ 4:30 corrected multiple problems and I immediately lifted 15% more. I am a beginner at these lifts so issues with early arm bend, bar swinging away, racking....., improved balance and power leaks....and I like your warmup progression.
Dear Kristi and the crew me and my buddy love your channel so much good positive content and energy! we live in a small town in Michigan total looked up your gym and its are dream to come visit someday! we have never been to a box before, but we love training crossfit! just wanted to say its your videos that help are form and give us the knowledge and drive to do it no matter what! Thank You!!!
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! EPIC TIPS!!!!. Knuckles down works. THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDZ!!!.... For me once the muscle memory of where the bar placements are at lighter loading on traversing the movements; Making sure technique is on point. It's just down to slapping on the RED plates and GO BRAVE
Hi Kristi. Another great video. Will need to re-watch it several times. I would love a video on weight progression. How do you increase weights safely? I did 175lbs clean and all was well. Then went up to 185lbs and pulled my lower back. So how do you know when it's too heavy?
Good day Mrs. just like The jerk and clean video, can you possibly think about doing a front squat video? Always I hope you and yours are having a great week🤓
My arms are so long I can touch the top of my knees while standing straight up. So my clean always look like I pull early. I've tried the arm bend before but it has never worked well for me. I think it was because I would create the bend as I was pulling instead of doing the bend at the start like what you said. I'm going to try it again on my next clean day. Thanks!
As always thanks for the great tips! Doing 1:1 coaching on Thursday, and definitely will review this information prior to my session. Glad to see Milo got to go to the gym.
Kristi you give great info on the cleans the jerks the moves I absolutely love I also love your videos clips I’m teaching myself (actually your teaching me)😆to do CrossFit and some of the olly lifting I don’t go super heavy it’s technique I’m after I’m 62 and I love the cleans Thank you you give me so motivation. Can I also ask what do you eat in a day and how does your training look like from day to day. I have found you a bit late in my life but I do love to follow you. Hopefully I can have a little bit of muscle and a leaner body fingers crossed 🤞 thanks for your help in advance 👍Deborah love from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 Thank you.
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell hit a 2 rep Max C&J today using the knuckle technique helped me rip the bar off the ground while keeping the bar path on target for a decent catch ... Thank you for the help
I NEVER make contact with my thighs/hips during the 1st pulls of the clean/snatch. I feel like it’s a huge issue that has hindered my ability to get stronger in my Olympic lifts. Last time I tried to fix this problem, I noticed i was losing all of my momentum from the first pull to the second pull. In other words: I was basically pulling the bar from the ground the to my thighs and almost pausing before cleaning the bar. Any tips or exercises to help fix this problem?
I looked at your other videos to see how you perform the clean (the main thing is to look more carefully, and not be distracted by a pretty girl:))), I'm glad that you made a separate video...what material the bar is made of? I can only guess from Patrick's tense face that it is not made of plasstmass😄...you make it fly up like a feather👍I'm a little late, but I congratulate you on the beginning of spring🌻
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell we had almost no winter :) I saw snow only a few times (quickly melted) but the month of March is always a symbol of spring for us, even with snowdrifts
Thank you for sharing your barbell warmup. Thank you for sharing your tips on the Clean & Jerk. If I had a EMOM-6 of 6 Pull-up buy in & to accumulate 36 Clean & Jerks, would I do touch & go or 115#? Could I do that warm up before I started the workout? Great job with the EMOM workout. Do you not want to have a slight bend of the arm? Don't you always want to try for your goals even if you hit 90% and your positioning might be a little off? Great job with the heavy Clean & Jerk.
My gym mates says I have strong arms and shoulder but I can’t do bar muscle up, previously I was doing bar muscle up 3 rep unbroken for couple of days then suddenly I stopped practicing bar muscle up bcz of some pain issues, and now when I want to do bar muscle up I can’t do it, I feel my technique to do bar muscle up is not right before and not stored in my brain cells , do you have any easy tips so that I can go back to do my bar muscle up, I appreciate if you can. Thanks 😊.
Really great tips, Kristi! And I love hearing how you get past the fear of the heavy bar. Super easy to relate to you and be inspired at the same time!!
Need to watch this over and over and over and over.....thanks coach!
Glad you got something out of it. now go get it!!
Me too!
7:40 got me so fired up lol, Elite CrossFit athletes are def like the modern day gladiators (without all the killing lol)
Glad you liked it!!! We love the dramatics!
Such good advice, so many times I will leave the bar unhappy because I didn’t reach the number I was hoping for instead of leaving happy with the work I’ve done.
Yes!!! Positivity is key!
Thank you very much. I have learned so much from watching your videos. You are AMAZING. I wish you were my Coach. Thank You.

Do a tutorial about chest to bar butterfly pull up 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Woah, this is so helpfull thanks

If that 75-85% is feeling off then I don't push it. There is days the body just hurts or needs a bit more recovery!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell Gotcha ya. I have 6 pull ups buy in & to accumulate 36 Clean & Jerks, what weight should I use
Love your outfits!!
Thank you! Our gym made the tie dye shirts!
Thank you for this!
Glad you liked it!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell Just found out we are testing our clean tomorrow, so perfect timing!!
I wish your camera man would get your whole body on many instances during technique tips.
We make sure sound quality comes first so you can hear the cues and we need the mic to pick it up! Will work on it!
It maybe the camera 🎥🤔
