Coach Burgener is a legend! In late 2016 I was introduced to the infamous CrossFit. My CrossFit coach taught me certain Olympic lifting principles that just seemed so feel familiar. One of those principles was the Bergner warm-up. Because my CrossFit coach was more interested in pushing heavy weight and ego movements, I googled the “Burgener warm up” to ensure I was doing it properly. And oh my, I had a 80s flashback, VHB baby, Vista High school! Coach Burgener was my weights and fitness coach way back then. That is why everything about lifting sounded so familiar. By the way, he looks the same now as he did then. This man, with his Marine Corps drill sergeant drill sergeant mentality and strength, pushed many of us to limits that we did not think we could reach. It’s good to see you are still on the game coach! I wish I would’ve appreciated you more when I was a punk kid in your class for two years.
Hyped for this; I remember watching the video of Rich and Dan and Coach B in Montana at the Big Sky event where they did max snatch/max clean. Still rewatch that video to get hyped for workouts.
Burgener warm up is the best! So good to use it in classes for both warming up and teaching the movements to the people! Now I just hope I get to an age like coach Burgener where I really don't give a f* what people think about my clothes, as long as I'm comfortable and functional!
