I grabbed my Pendlay bar for this 130kg drive. Swung it back and cracked it. The swing was long and powerful. I followed through the finish as if I was Tiger Woods posing for Golf Digest. A swoosh followed by a whack, followed by the whistling wind slapping my kakis like a flag outside a school yard. The wind died down as complete silence took over this beautiful green landscape. What I sight....watching what your body created. Now I understand how the mad scientist must have felt when he created Frankenstein. I lifted my hand above my eyes, trying to block out the sun from watching my little white ball fly across the course. I slammed my club down against the short hard grass as I gave myself a fist pump and a loud roar! Hole in one! I didn't shank it but I definitely shankled it! I didn’t just lower my hand down from my forehead; I gave it a fast and violent ATTITUDE NATION SALUTE! My Golf buddy filmed it, check it out below!!
Great video analysis and breakdown. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHey Briant thank you! - Jon North
ReplyDeleteQuestion. If you have flexibility issues with the bottom of the snatch and clean (specifically the ability of the hamstrings to contact the calves to create the "bounce") do you think it is necessary to address mobility first before incorporating the oly lifts or can you simultaneously work mobility and technique (obviously with the bar and/or light weights)?
ReplyDeletethanks for any feedback.
ReplyDeleteHey Briant i never have any of my athletes do mobility work. nor myself. i don't believe in it. i feel the lifts are the best mobility work an athlete can do. plus teaching your body to do just the lifts will turn it in to a monster, anything else is in the way. salute!! jon north
