Everything about this trip was so much fun ✨3 weeks, 3 states, 6 gyms 🇺🇸 Maybe I’m due another US training trip 👀

I’ve been an athlete long enough to know that you have to take any injury as a blessing in disguise- and use the time you’re recovering to work on the things you wouldn’t otherwise have time for ✨🤝 ft. My beautiful

Fitting in the split jerk warm up in 1 minute ✨👀 | split jerks are my favourite olympic lift to teach athletes 😌 because when they GET IT, they GET IT and it’s so much fun .. super generalized warm up here but here’s the info: *wearing everyday seamless all in one : code YAZ10 for 10% off *
✨ Strict press. Obvs. Warm up your overhead position; feel the correct placement. Move on.
✨ Push press. Perfect for understanding your dip and drive. THIS dip and drive should be the same one you’re using in your split jerk. Make sure the barbell is resting on the body. Grip is relaxed. Control the dip down, and “jump” up. You should feel some weightlessness in the bar if done correctly, then continue to push the bar overhead using the arms.
✨ EYE LEVEL SPLIT JERK DROP. I love this- my athletes know I love this. I can’t get enough of it. Why? Because it’s such a good drill! Now for my beginners, I’d break this down into further steps first- getting the footwork down and stuff.. BUT , is that’s something you have down, then I’d always recommend using this drill as part of your warm up. It really helps with “switching on” that speed under the bar.
✨ Split Jerks- so if you get the dip and drive of the push press and PAUSE as soon at the bar gets in front of the eyes- then that’s the position we started from in the drops. So we essentially combine the dip and drive of the push press and the speed under the bar of the drops. Simples 🥳

Aaaaand we’re back lifting some colourful plates ✨ My back finally feels so much better- and right in time to lift alongside my .malta friends 💕 I’m a long way from where I wanted to be by this time, but I’m just grateful my back injury is resolved and that I can lift 😌🥳

I met 13 people exactly a week ago. Today I have 13 new friendships that will last a lifetime. Crazy how lifting weights brings people together. Even more crazy how they made coming back from injury the best TIME EVER. Only positive energy this past week, only love, only respect.

I always believed in .malta and what it could become. This week proved that and more 💕

No cockroaches were harmed during this weightlifting session 🪳👀 Ft. all equipment used during our .malta last week! ☀️ Killing the cockroach really helped with improving speed and explosivity in the jerks. It’s not actually about the impact or strength of the stomp of the front foot, but by making sure to get the maximum extension on your drive and then “killing the cockroach” you ensure a fast - snappy catch in your jerk.
