3.19.13

I know, I know, very boring headline. It's not easy to be consistently quippy with titles 3 times a week. Instead, I will just tell you what my workout entailed on a particular day. Here was today's workout:


Snatch: 1-Rep-Max
then:
Overhead Squat:  3-3-3-3
-3-Second Pause in the bottom of each squat
L-Hang: Accumulate 2 minutes together as a class 

So I eventually worked up to a 1 rep Max of 105 for the snatch lift. I think I would have done better if my arms weren't quite so sore from Wednesday. I've been told my form is improving (though still a long, long way from perfect.)

The L-Hang had the potential to make me the enemy of the whole class. You see, in an ideal world, time for EVERYONE would stop if ANYone in the class let go of the bar. Obviously, me dropping every two seconds would have made it a very long afternoon for everyone. Luckily, the gym owners are nothing like the Kobra Ki from Karate kid (well, a little like them suppose in that they could kick my ass if they wanted to.) They let me drop and didn't hold the rest of the class to my defects. 

One day though, I'll be able to keep up with everyone else. For now, I'm just happy with getting better.
