Sam Cripps Performance

The sn**ch grip high pull is an olympic lifting derivative that I use frequently as a power development tool with my athletes

Here's some common technique points that I find help people to get the movement right

Speed and power 🚀
Using jumps, throws and Olympic lifting derivatives

Strength 🏋️
Using heavy compound lifts - squats, hinges, pushes and pulls

Robustness 🦾
Using isolation work around key injury sites

Conditioning 🫀🫁

Strength training is generally very safe and getting strong has numerous benefits for everyone, especially as we age.

No exercise is inherently dangerous - so long as you apply good training principles like load management, autoregulation and graded exposure.

Don't do too much, too soon.
Do modify training based on how you feel on the day. Do make small managable increases over time.
Don't listen to fear mongerers

Lifting heavy builds muscle, increases bone density, strengthens tendons and ligaments, and helps protect against injury.

Strength training is one of the most powerful tools for long-term health and performance.

Lift heavy. Be strong

Happy birthday here's to many more PBs to come 💪🎉

When training to improve recovery, your rest periods need to get shorter over time.

The great thing about sprint intervals is that adaptations happen quickly.

The first time sucks, then you get better. Get on with it

I don't even like cake that much, but as soon as that deficit kicks in...
