Our pleasure!:)

Great, let us know how it goes!:)

Thanks! Let us know if it helps.

This is the type of work you can do almost daily. Changing existing habits and developing new positions is hard. For most people, this is a fight against sitting too much for many years. Personally it took me about a month of regular work to be able to achieve a full range of motion working on it about 5x per week. Good luck!

Good luck, let me know how it goes!:)

Thanks! We hope this helped!

Thanks!

Thanks! I can't say for sure about your elbow. Unfortunately sometimes these types of injuries can prevent people from being able to hit proper position. There is a possibility that it is not a structural issue, but has been immobilized due to lack of use. It would certainly be painful to break that up, but it is possible through that massag, or graston type work that you can improve the range of motion. Other than seeing a professional, one of the simplest and most effective things I tell people to develop straight elbows and shoulder mobility is hanging on a bar. I have one permanently hanging in my office door and accumulate time on it almost every day. Hope that helps and let me know how it goes!:)

I should have mentioned that there are 2 screws in my elbow holding it together and have been told that it won't straighten out. But I will certainly try your suggestions, thanks a lot.

Do it! Let us know how it goes!:)

Thanks for your comment! That expectation is actually something we are working to change. We believe in function over aesthetics as an indicator of fitness and using many different points of performance to judge a persons fitness level. Although form does typically follow function, of which my goal is currently general physical preparedness for hobbies like surfing, rock climbing (which benefits me to be leaner), skiing, snowboarding, etc. I have hundreds of videos of myself training, so let me know what you would like to see and I'll see what I can dig up. Thanks again and let me know if you have any additional thoughts or questions:)

@@paradisocrossfit1 ok, show me a real snatch, with real weight. Otherwise you can not possibly know what you're talking about. Even 60kg's will do. No offence.

@@PatrickSavalle I'll be totally honest, I just spent way too long looking for a video of my old lifetime snatch PR to show you and I couldn't find it! Now I'm going to have to spend more time looking for it, because I really hope I have it still! sAnywho, my liftime PR snatch is 185 when I was at a BW of around 160. All I could find is this video of me performing a 3 position snatch at 135lbs, so I hope that is sufficient. If not, here are a few other things: -I spent a few years training for the CrossFit Games Regional level, performing Olympic Lifting 5x/week through the Outlaw Way method and coaching my regular group class in the same manner for over 2 years. -In 2012 I helped found the Venice Barbell Club and have promoted the sport of Olympic Weightlifting in my gym for over 7 years, with multiple national level lifters that I have had the fortune of training with and providing a training environment for (notice American Record holder Derrick Johnson in the background) . -I am by no means an expert lifter (as you can see from the video) and I have never really had a passion for weightlifting (especially the snatch), but I do enjoy the mental/physical challenge of performing the lift to the best of my abilities and believe in and promote its utility for general fitness to all. Thanks for listening:)
