Travis Cooper shared this drill to improve split form. On the Weightlifting Scoop Podcast he mentioned that Zygmunt Smalcerz uses this for his athletes in the Olympic Training Center. Basically it works the footwork without fatiguing the shoulders. Dip – Pause Split (don’t drive the bar up) – Pause Recover Morghan King, who demonstrates it […]
A Collection of Exercises and their Variations from Around the World.
Mohamed Ehab 170kg Step-Ups
Another one from Mohamed Ehab today. Here he does Step-Ups (basically a partial single leg Squats) with 170kg. You don’t see weightlifters do unilateral exercises very often. That’s why I love Mohamed’s videos. Always nice to see what’s going down in gyms around the world. Today he worked up the following in that exercise: 120 […]
Vladislav Rigert & Dmitry Klokov 100kg Weighted Back Extension Holds
(Originally posted Jul 5, 2013) Vladislav Rigert and Dmitry Klokov show a killer isometric posterior chain exercise. Probably the best plank variation I have seen so far. Lay sideways on a bench and have a partner (preferably Dmitry) put 50kg plates on your back and legs. A youtuber translated what Dmitry said: This exercise activates […]
Nisida Palomeque Valoyes Clean + Split Jerk Box Jump Drill
Meanwhile in Colombia … Nisida Palomeque Valoyes, 2013 63kg Pan American Champion, shows a box jump drill I had not seen before. Cleans and Split Jerks onto Boxes. Not something to drill technique, but more of a conditioning drill I assume. Maybe someone from the Colombian team (or other coaches who used this) reads this […]
Nadezhda Evstyukhina Snatch Assistance Exercise
Meanwhile in Russia … Nadezhda Evstyukhina shows Snatch assistance exercise. Looks like a warm-up exercise for her. She writes that it is useful for improving the Deep Squat Position during the catch, as well as overhead stability. Note that even with her 135kg Snatch, she uses “only” 70kg (or 65 if that’s a women’s bar). […]

Isometric Leg Extension Holds
I recently came across a photo of Mohamed Ehab (155kg Snatch) doing some low tech Isometric Leg Extension Holds. So I asked him about some details about this exercise. He does: 3 sets 20 second static hold with 90kg He uses it for the prevention of injuries, especially the knee joint. Very difficult, but very useful. Have […]
L-Sit Progressions
David Durante talks Chris Spealler through some L-Sit progressions. As with everything in gymnastics… looks deceivingly simple, yet it’s not. Since this is just a 2 minute video it can’t show all there is to that exercise. In Building the Gymnastic Body the progressions are broken down even further. (Arms locked at all times) L […]
