Hang Power Clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Today you have 7 chances at hitting a new heavy hang power clean. The names of the Oly lifts describe how they’re executed.

The “power” denotes that the athlete is creating enough power on the bar to move it up to his/her shoulders without needing to squat, so anything above parallel counts as a “power” version. A missed power clean is a squat clean. Come in today and work on developing power!Read more

Temps run a little cooler, leaves start to change color, and life just seems to slow down a bit. With the cooler days a nice meal that is meaty and rich really brings comfort to it all, and for that I go for something like this beef stroganoff. There’s no dairy and most times I just substitute ground beef for actual strips of sirloin (it helps with the budget). It’s creamy and delicious! What are your go-to meals for cooler temps?Read more
