Training Think Tank Podcast

Olympic Weightlifting (maxing out your Snatch/Clean and Jerk) is not barbell cycling. In this episode, we discuss how you must approach these lifts in the sport of competitive CrossFit.

For just over a year we've announced a qualifier style workout every Thursday on our YouTube series "The Throwdown". On the show our coaches review a full athlete demo providing tips and commentary to help you improve at the skill of competing. The majority of the TTT community will watch the episode Thursday, plan a strategy then attack the workout on Saturday with their friends (#SaturdaysAreForThrowdowns). On this episode of the podcast TTT coaches Max El-Hag, Brannen Dorman, and Mike McGoldrick share what we've learned having done this for 52 weeks straight.
