“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”- Isaiah 53:5-6

The ball clean allows us to manage an impossible feat. That is teach the newcomer how to perform the Olympic lifts within 20min. It’s a wonderful replacement that retains all benefits of working under the bar while removing its disadvantages:“The clean and jerk and the snatch, the Olympic lifts, present the toughest learning challenge in all of weight training. Absent these lifts, there are no complex movements found in the weight room. By contrast, the average collegiate gymnast has learned hundreds of movements at least as complex, difficult, and nuanced as the clean or snatch. In large part because most weight training is exceedingly simple, learning the Olympic lifts is for too many athletes a shock of frustration and incompetence.”

Snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

“The overhead squat is the ultimate core exercise, the heart of the snatch, and peerless in developing effective athletic movement.
This functional gem trains for efficient transfer of energy from large to small body parts – the
essence of sport movement. For this reason it is an indispensable tool for developing speed and
power.
The overhead squat is to midline control, stability, and balance what the clean and snatch are to power– unsurpassed.”
