I just got done going through Coach B’s Oly Cert this weekend.
Fun stuff. Day 1 we went through the progressions into a Snatch, and Day 2 was progressions into the Clean/Clean and Jerk/ and the Split Jerk.
Two days is hardly enough time to be completely polished in the O-Lifts, but I learned a few fine points as to hand placement, body alignment, a proper dip and drive, and most importantly foot placement.
Coach B is an amazing coach. His day job consists of strength and o-lift training to high school students. His skill in teaching is evident as he can easily manage such a large group of athletes, and teach them the finer points of Olympic Lifting. He is loud and boisterous, and his motivation is contagious.
Needless to say, I had a great time and I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling on the O-lifts (like myself), or wants to refine their methods.
Maybe now I can actually attempt Isabel.
Oh ya, from a Scottish visitor at the cert, I learned that the guys at Crossfit CS are “bampots”. He must be referring to their involvement with Painstorm.
