The rack position in either the barbell, kettlebell, medicine ball, sandbag, and dumbbells means we want the elbows forward of the hands (in profile view), in a standing position with the legs and hips completely locked out. The eyes should stay up the entire range of motion.
This shape allows our bodies to be efficient pillars at bearing weight during our exercises.

+ Why You Should Compete in Olympic Weightlifting – Catalyst Athletics
Andrew S, Kai H, and Ann-Marie D represented Foundation Barbell and FCF this past weekend down in Tacoma.
Andrew S set personal records in his snatch, clean & jerk, and total.
Kai H also set personal records in her snatch, clean & jerk, and total.
Ann-Marie D returned to competition after a year off and took 2nd Place overall while qualifying for USAW Nationals next year.
I’ve been hearing your goals and suggestions so after some deliberation we’ll be starting a Tuesday back squat cycle. For the next 8 or so weeks we’ll back squat every week, building up in intensity, reps, and volume. The outcome should be stronger, more resilient athletes!

Cycle begins Monday 1/8 and continues for 7 weeks.
This first cycle of the year is going to be used to get everyone re-acquainted with Olympic Weightlifting fundamentals. The focus each week will be building body awareness with the bar, properly producing power with the legs, and developing stability under heavy weight and increased completion of lifts.
By working on these specifics, you can expect yourself to feel more comfortable with you lifts and start to FEEL what went wrong with a missed lift and KNOW how to make an adjustment before the end of the lift.
If you are planning to take part in this cycle or ANY of our barbell cycles, we ask that you commit and invest your time in sticking with it from beginning to end.
You must be registered through the following form to participate in the cycle. Registration ends Friday 1/12.
