Hey Folks!

Awesome times with all you guys crushing some awesome weights!  Olympic lifting can be super fun and it can be frustrating sometimes too.  It’s a tough one, but it’s a great way to work that mental game.  I find it helps me most if I don’t bother setting a goal weight that I’m going to hit.  I just lift the weight and if it felt good, add more.  If you missed because of a mistake, try to fix the mistake and then make the lift.  There’s always something to work on.  Even the people in the olympics train for years to hone their technique, and it still isn’t perfect.

Kristin begins her Performance Enhancement classes tomorrow night at 6pm!  DOn’t worry about signing up – just show up on time and you’ll instantly PR your entire life.  Maybe not that hardcore of a benefit, but this is very likely going to be the missing link in many peoples training and the key to unlocking that next PR without SO MUCH hard work.  Funny how that works!

For anyone looking for extra results with regards to weight loss, or fueling – start keeping a food journal, either in a notebook or online somewhere.  Once you’ve got about a week recorded, let me (Adam) know and I’ll take a look.  No charge – just wanting to help you guys achieve even greater results! 🙂
