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.

February 1, 2014 By Gregor Winter

Here is 2013 U23 European +75kg Champion Julia Konovalova with a 190kg Front Squat (from March 2012).
