Stabilize - Thursday, August 22nd, 2024

Stabilize

We’re about to ‘crush’ your midline to have you work on stabilizing it under fatigue.

If you want to snatch heavier, jerk heavier, press heavier, you need to get more comfortable under the bar for longer periods of time stabilizing the weight.

On Tuesday clean and jerked DB’s or KB’s and we saw many punch outs. You need to get comfortable with the weight fully locked out overhead for a period longer than a split second. Hence minute 4 today, ME (Max Effort) holding a barbell fully locked out in the overhead position. Think about bracing your core, keeping your ribs down, arms locked out overhead.

If you’re someone who struggles with upper thoracic mobility, head over to YouTube and search the Ready State for tons of videos on upper thoracic mobility.

We don’t always share the method to our programming or why we program certain workouts, in certain ways. Today we are. Today is all about the midline.
