“You make that look so easy.” Aw, thanks. “Wow, how can you lift so much?” Um, I just practice a lot. “I don’t think I’ll ever be able to lift like you do.” It takes time. These are some of the comments I get and answers I give when discussing my lifts with people. The truth is, I was built for olympic lifting. I’m 5’0” and weigh 130# and have always been a quadzilla. :) Let’s be clear though, just because I have the body “type” to support olympic lifting does not mean that I just picked up a barbell one day and started lifting my bodyweight. I felt like each of you did when you first started. “Which one’s the clean? Are my hands wide or narrow for the snatch? Do I catch this one on my shoulders or overhead?” I have spent hundreds of hours working on my lifts. I have done snatch complexes, clean pulls, snatch pulls, snatches off the blocks, behind the neck jerks, triples, EMOMs, heavy singles and so many other drills. I have worked alone, with Chad (mostly), lifting experts and with a Junior American record holder in olympic lifting. So did this come overnight? Absolutely not. I love the barbell and love spending time with her. A couple summers ago, I spent 12 weeks doing an olympic lifting cycle and that’s when I really started to refine my technique and see results. The barbell and I have a complex relationship. I have been frustrated and confused by the barbell many times. Missing a PR when I knew I could do it was one of the only times I’ve cried in CrossFit. On the contrary, some of my happiest and most exciting moments have been when I have successfully completed a lift. I want you to see results and love the barbell like I do and experience some of these exciting moments for yourself! I have spent some time developing two programs where I will work with you one-on-one on your olympic lifts. Because I’m only one person and these are so time-intensive, I can only accept 3 people.
