14.2 Redux

Jesse paced it out and killed this workout on Saturday.

1. Check your grip: I would use something other than the width if you pull up grip just to help conserve. So if your comfy OH grip is your jerk grip and the width of pull up grip is the same, then maybe widen OH grip slightly.


2. No hook grip, this will create unnecessary tension and hinder position.


3. No wrist wraps! Do you really need them for this weight? The more narrow grip will help with this as well, so if at all possible, go without. They as well will cause unnecessary tension and/or hinder position.


4. If you struggle with mobility at all, use your Oly shoes. In either case, that little bit may allow you to go slightly more narrow more comfortably and make all the difference.


5. Keep your head UP! I see so many people look down or poke their neck forward, this as well causes unnecessary tension and hinders position(drags you forward.)


6. Check all the great tips out there on C2B's!


7. HAVE FUN!.......most importantly:)
