A question about head position olympic and power lifts. I once was told that I should practice lifting while holding a grapefruit under my chin (I know weird!). But is it good to focus on keeping that sort of head position, relative to the spine of course?
This is my official plea asking all who are even considering it...please join the team. It's a great way to build morale in our box and we have such an amazing group of athletes. I really hope we have enough to put a team together.
@ Matt - I had to go find a grapefruit to find out what you were talking about, but I think I've got it. You're possibly referring to having a "neutral" head position. Yeah, that's where you want it, with your focus on a point near the floor about 15 to 20 feet in front you.
The alternative is to be looking up at the ceiling, as your head tilts up during the shrug of the "third pull". This is less good, and will have negative effects on your balance in the "catch" or bottom and sap your power throughout the lift. It's hard to keep your head low and neutral, a powerful shrug pushes your head up - hence the helpful citrus based coaching note.
Where do you look during your overhead squat? Try looking there. If that doesn't help, completely ignore the above advice.
Yes, Teresa! Anyone who has a desire to do the Games Open WOD's should jump in today or tomorrow!!! It is going to be a fun couple of weeks.
I am going this morning after the 10am class. :)
Matt, bring on the fruit! Ray, great (& funny) advice!
Though O lifting doesn't sound like it would be very successful with fruit under your chin, I am all for practicing the first pull/deadlift portion with it. Yes, a Neutral head is the desired position. The head tilting back can cause loss of lumbar and thoracic curve amongst a host of other less desirable conditions.
Fantastic job everyone on a Double WOD night!!!

Mandi,
I think you may have misread T's notes. I finished all my double-unders and did 8 snatches, so it should read 3+38.
Thanks.
Mandi, I concur with Mike's statement. Mike completed 3 rounds, 30 double unders and 8 gto's
