More more more

We continued with a particular lifting format that we learned from Dan John a couple weeks ago.  We generally cycle our strength program on three week intervals, so this week will be the end of the current cycle.  I like this format because it doesn’t feel like you’re lifting a heavy weight even though you can get pretty close to your max.  It’s a way to sneak up on a weight.  The extra movements are meant to enforce a rest period between sets while also working on particular skills or weaknesses.  I heard a couple people comment today that the planks were almost harder than the lift.  To which I responded, “add weight.”

Emmi and Rory did “Annie” from yesterday and Emmi set a new gym record with 6:10.  Apparently she’s not done done killing the workouts after this weekend.  Rory, a former Young Ambassador also, finished around 6:20.

While that was happening, Chase, Mandee, and David L did tomorrow’s workout.  It looks “fun.”

  1. Emmi says:

    I think I am about to touch my judge in this picture.

  2. Brianne says:

    That is a great shot of Derricks bloody shins. Ouch!

  3. Morgan says:

    I didn’t even notice Derek’s shins. Makes him look even tougher.
    I liked the photo of you Emmi because you look like you’re so relaxed and are enjoying yourself.
    Brianne’s musculature pops out really well in her picture.
    And I look like such a total goof I just had to include it.

  4. Andrea says:

    Brianne i want that back!
    Morgan I think goof is an understatement!
    Are you going to post the rest of the pictures?

  5. David L says:

    Haha typical emm, it loks like she is saying to the judge,” no no no, I dont need to scale. 105# is nothing for me k, thanks.”

    I regestered for the “maltz challenge” on March 21st at 10:00am Here is the link. Looks like a great benefit.

    It was said three times today that my picture looks like a caricature.

    Andrea, no I won’t post the rest of the pictures, but I will continue to post the good ones. I don’t think anyone cares about the out of focus shots of the back of someone’s head. I’ll finish uploading the good ones Thursday and post a link.

    Morgan! This is the video I was telling you about. Unfortunately, you can’t see the great Sandow’s mustache very well, but trust me, it was a good one!
