@JoeyheronCSCS Do all the same except final push press goes behind the neck to allow grip adjust and then we go heaving snatch balance with a pause. Love BB complexes.

Here’s a Javorek complex we use on our Olympic days. High pull Drop clean with a pause Push press Overhead squat with a pause 3x3 Light, smooth practice and a great warm up for movements to come. Adds up to a lot of volume over the years, too.

@darlington_rick There are some truly awful squat videos on here and then there is this. That’s a clean looking rep.

DOG of the Day: Kaveon Jackson squatting 440 at 157 body weight. 😳

@coachdecost1 Like the exercise choices. We would generally do all power work before main lifts. Sprints before cleans. Separate push press from same day as bench press and Bulgarians from same day as back squat. But been around long enough to know there are many ways to do this.

Creating week 1 of spring lifting program… thoughts?? Likes? Dislikes? Changes?

Definitely one of the most effective visual coaching cues in S&C. Murray cross for split jerks. 100% of the time it works 100% of the time. #weightlifting #LTAD #saintstrength

Church, altar, confessional, therapist, friend, foe, keepers of fears, worries, dreams and goals. Mountains are many things to many people, but no two journeys to the top are exactly the same. Always challenging.

Holy smokes….incredible finish at LA Marathon today by American Nathan Martin coming from behind to catch and beat Kenyan Michael Kamari at the finish line

Next week’s “Super Saturday” has an awful lot to live up to. 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷#SixNations2026

And the Spadone beats the broadsword. Just brilliant for Italy. #ITAvENG

Scotland considerably better than France than 10-point margin suggests. What a challenge for Ireland with Scots coming to Dublin next. Both sides could still win 6N. Winner in Dublin definitely gets Triple Crown. Scotland haven't beaten Ireland since 2017. What a game ahead!

Claymore beats the sabre. What a contest though. #SCOvFRA

This is grand slam rugby from Scotland, which is what they should be competing for next week had they turned for the first 70 minutes in Rome. #SCOvFRA

Wicklow turned the sun back on briefly this morning. #wicklowmountains

@CarlowWeather Djouce

Sun hitting the snow capped Lugnaquilla as it rises over Carlow and Wicklow.

@MillaCoach The fact the crowd spontaneously breaks into it late in the game tells you how good an anthem it is.

There’s nothing in sport like Flower of Scotland at Murrayfield. When the first notes of Flower of Scotland start and the whole stadium rises, it’s special. But when the music cuts and 67,000 voices carry it alone inside Murrayfield Stadium Chills. Every single time.

Homeward tae think again. #SCOvENG

Strongly disagree with Enda McNulty here. Streaming works. More touches for weaker players, more confidence, and better players come back when teams get back together. #GAA

Simply the best time of year for sunrise running. #wicklowmountains

@missyMmcbeth Obviously missing a 10 x 10 bench, 5 x 8 incline Bench, 5 x 12 pec flye and a “some of these” style warm up. But other than that it’s 👌🏻

OMG YALL this is an ACTUAL workout a coach wrote on the board at my gym.

Great night at @offspring 3 Arena Dublin. Early sound issues on mic which had first part of show inaudible, seemed to clear up after Gone Away. Great atmosphere and setlist had something for most.

Success despite the level of support. Simultaneously so impressive & so very frustrating.
