Learn and Grow Series

We water you, you water us, we grow together!

Fern Creek CrossFit (FCCF) is constantly looking for ways to add additional opportunities for our athletes. Over the least several months, many athletes have expressed a desire for additional instruction on various aspects of CrossFit. We love this enthusiasm and want to support learning and growth any way possible.

The team at FCCF has constructed a plan to begin a series of Learn and Grow sessions focusing in on various aspects and movements of CrossFit, and some topics not directly related to CrossFit, but a benefit to the athlete nonetheless.

Beginning in August, we will be hosting these seminars, free of charge to our members, primarily on Sunday afternoons after Open Gym time. There may be some Saturday morning events based on the instructor schedule. Each session will last 1-2 hours.

Topics to include:

  • Olympic Lifts
  • Rowing
  • Gymnastics
  • Squat Clinic
  • Nutrition
  • Self-Defense
  • Self-Care (Aches/Pains)
  • Core Strengthening
  • Yoga

The Burgener Snatch Warm-Up

This warm-up consists of six different sequences that are important for learning to perform the Olympic lifts. The Burgener warm-up is performed with a length of PVC pipe or a dowel and specifically trains the second and third pulls of the snatch. Repetition of these six sequences with little or no weight conditions the body to move properly through the power phases of the snatch and the clean and jerk.

The sequence is as follows, always in this order:

  1. Down and finish
  2. Elbows high and outside
  3. Muscle snatch
  4. Snatch land
  5. Snatch drop
