Olympic Lifting & Progress

Great fitness class today - short and sweet where almost everybody exceeded their expectations doing pull-ups and push ups. People were ripping their hands open on the bar and proudly displaying a little bit of red and I couldn't help but think of what a huge change that was from the beginning of the semester.

Tried my hand at some Olympic snatch lifting and put up more weight than I have before without thinking too much about it. I think if I can focus on extending more I'll be able to go up at least another 10-20 lbs. I'll keep my very modest max to myself right now.

As for progress we're starting to have some very excited rowers coming by the office to talk about their new found progress in strength and conditioning. The more the better!
