Joel Tessier Visits AllStar

and delivers a wonderful Olympic Weightlifting Clinic focused mostly on the Snatch, a lift that can use continual improvement. He took us through great warm up movements which prepared our body for the integrated and highly coordinated lifts we were about to attempt. When I got to the bar I felt very ready. Here, photos below, he teaches us about correct body position and the importance of staying tight, and ritual before the lift. It was a productive day for all who attended, with some PR's in the house! Joel will be back this Sunday the 26th for a Endurance/Pose Running clinic from 11-1:30 come check it out!

Matt has only Snatched maybe once or twice before this clinic, he made significant improvements today.

Don dramatically improves his Snatch technique. Progress!

Josh sets a Personal Record today with a 160# Snatch! This video shows technique work with 135#.
