A good article.
Even after being educated about the method and following it, it is sometimes hard to cherish the simplicity of it and NOT add any "tinkering" to the program. But I'm sure someone will add the Jefferson lift high pull only once

I think Jefferson Hi-Pulls would make an excellent addition to the CrossFit exercise collection.

Anyone who does them more than once should do them thirty reps for time. 95 pounds would actually be sufficient for this exercise.
Thomas, you are dead on regarding simplicity and tinkering. Its seems to be a strange facet of human nature that causes so many to dilligently seek out the best training program they can find, and then muck with it.

Jefferson Lift high-pulls eh? I will not be trying these anytime soon.

Nice article!
Btw, I looked all over Google and couldn't figure out what a Jefferson lift high pull was.

Smart move tnumrych. I understand they require specialized conditioning to perform. They are however easy to learn, and people usually have a very educational experience on the very first rep. Form does tend to swiftly breakdown thereafter.

You'd have to combine the Jefferson lift with a high pull in your mind and see what you come up with :-)

Your Google-fu is weak and needs training. Search for "Jefferson lift" and extrapolate.Originally Posted by Renaissance

Great article with a really standout passage that is worth it's weight in gold.
Most of them I’d been doing for years, off and on, yet I improved my lifts and made the exercises feel much more friendly to my joints instantly once I started doing them right. Rip points out all the subtle things to do during a lift, but without turning a basic lift into rocket science.
