Block Work

Every Wednesday we work off the blocks with the focus on improving technique while getting stronger. First up Cody Basala does a snatch combination exercise with 105kg. Next Derrick "4D" Johnson does a triple with 100kg on split cleans. Finally Kyle Dosterschill does a clean with 150kg (the set before he did a combination of clean exercises with 140kg).

Hey derrick can you explain the purpose behind doing the split cleans?

[4derrick]

@JNFreije Split cleans are done to help with footwork on the jerk. This exercise helps to make sure a lifter finishes the pull on the clean because more emphasis has to be paid on the finish in order to be able to split the feet in a balanced position. Also it helps to improve coordination and reaction time. We only do 3X3 of this exercise every once in awhile.

@4derrick appreciate the response. Yall keep getting after it- your killing it right now and i'm believing big things are coming from your gym. Don't understand why your channel doesn't get more views, or why I don't hear the Lions mentioned more often. But i'm sure yall don't mind- eventually they'll have no choice but to recognize. God bless you and your team brother!
