The big men hit the platform on the last day of the CrossFit-USAW Open under the eyes of Coach Mike Burgener, elite American lifter Kendrick Farris and Tony Budding.
The class included Dave Lipson, a very strong athlete who’s been working with Coach B to improve his Oly technique. In spite of that work, Lipson was nursing an injury and wasn’t 100 percent.
Also on the platform was Spencer Hendel, a two-time Games athlete who posted the top total in the 105 class for the Oly half of the Open. Had Hendel dropped less than a half-kilo of body weight, he would have been in the 94-kg class. Matt Chan also lifted in this session, though he was able to make the weight to compete in the 94-kg class.
Topics for discussion by the experts include big men taking a narrow grip on the bar, power jerks, jerking from the fingertips and “double dipping.”
