About Coaching & Technique Breakdowns
In these videos, I strip away the complexity of Olympic lifts and functional movements. Whether you're struggling with squat depth or your clean-and-jerk setup, the focus is always on biomechanics and safety. You won't find generic advice here—just the exact technical cues I give my athletes to help them lift heavier, faster, and with more control.
Most gym injuries stem from ego lifting—chasing heavy weights before mastering the movement. At 367 Crossfit, we take a different approach. We believe that if you move better, you naturally look and perform better. My 'Skill to Kill' sessions are built on the principle that every movement can be deconstructed.
We focus on essential technical elements:
- Barbell Mechanics: From the deadlift setup to the finer points of the clean and jerk, I break down the kinetic chain so you understand how to use your hips, core, and back correctly.
- Mobility as Training: We don't just stretch to feel good; we work on ankle, hip, and shoulder mobility to fix issues like collapsed torsos in squats or poor front-rack positions.
- No-Mirror Training: We train without mirrors to help you develop proprioception—the ability to 'feel' your body in space rather than relying on visual feedback.
Whether you are a beginner learning the basics or an athlete stuck on a plateau with your snatch or handstand push-ups, these breakdowns are designed to give you the 'why' behind the 'how'. When you understand your body’s potential and limitations, you stop guessing and start training with intention.
