* Notes:
- Great workout because I had my friend and coach, Javi, join me on the platform today. Having a good coach and fellow lifter to train with provides an infectiously positive training environment and today was no exception. Thanks Javi, for joining me today.
- The hang cleans were very easy at 120kg and I tried to focus on only pulling the bar to navel height and driving myself aggressively under the bar. Initially, I found myself pulling too high (over extending in the pull), which was causing "bar crash". After a few adjustments, and the sage advice of my coach, I was able to fix this error and the cleans became exceptionally fluid and less taxing -- big surprise! Efficient technique is so vital! All in all, the day was fairly light compared to the early part of this weeks training, which was welcomed. I look forward to finishing out today's workout tomorrow with rack jerks and front squats.
Joe, you're progress is incredible and I hardly feel like I'm doing anything for you. You're just a monster and I'm happy to see you're doing so well! It was awesome working out with you. You motiivate the hell out of me!
ReplyDelete@ Javi - Brother - In the Marine Corps there is a saying, "Motivate me, and I'll motivate you!". You push me to strive for my best, and I hope I do the same for you. Motivation is a two-way street and your level of motivation is contagious! Thanks for always encouraging me to push past my limits, Coach!!!
