5.21.13- Double Down

Well, after going a little crazy last week (doing a class 5 days in a row) I am getting even a little crazier this week. You see, I'm still planning on hitting class Monday through Friday this week, and yesterday they convinced me to do TWO classes.

The first was an efficiency class. We were just working on form for a clean and jerk lift. To be honest, I'm not sure how much better my form is now, because I didn't start out that great at it. Looking at my weightlifting form and trying to figure out what is wrong is like trying to help Charles Barkley fix his golf swing.

Such a sweet stroke. 

In any case, after working on form for a full hour, I moved on to the real class. We were to build up to a 1 rep maximum for the dead lift. Now, I didn't have a previous dead lift maximum written anywhere, so I just went as high as I could and hoped that even with my depleted energy reserves I got a new max. My top weight was 315 lbs. 

Then, we moved on the the cardio portion of the workout. While most of the class ran sprints, I and a few other member of the class did rowing sprints. Essentially, we rowed as hard as we could for 10 seconds then took 50 seconds off. Not too shabby, I suppose.
