We worked on the oly lift start position a few weeks ago. Maybe we should go over it again. It's not the same as the deadlift start position. Great article!

When we move you to the ground, you'll see how you find yourself more upright than in the hang. Oh — and meant to add that your shoulders should be forward of the bar in the hang position.

Trying to get your knees back meant fooling around with the position of your shoulders. You were starting with your shoulders back behind the bar (because your knees were not back) so we had to try to fix that in the hang position. When we move to the ground, we'll fix it some more, but hopefully that will fall into place. Here's an article by Greg Everett that's helpful on the start position -- http://www.cathletics.com/articles/index.php?show=shorty&shortyID=49 Nate — we have some things to fix with your starting position in the high hang.

The oly class was great! I think by the end of the class I might have almost had that starting position down? Probably not though. It kind of feels like that setup goes against a lot of what our other movements have taught us... I don't know, it seemed wrong to be "leaning" that far forward. Good times though, I am strangely sore today from it :) Dare I say it again? The oly class was great!

You have a great new space and I will have to stop down to catch a WOD. Thank you all for letting me come down and work on Olympic lifts with you.
