Strength Bit
My brains a bit scattered right now as I write this post, probably because I have a lot of lifting related things on my mind right now. First and foremost I did a deadlift session this week for shits and giggles and also threw my wife a curveball and let her test her max. Needless to say she did not disappoint and once again stole the show with a 14# PR, 2.5x bodyweight, 300# deadlift - raw dog. Beast mode activated:
It's true, she serves as an inspiration to all the ladies and gentlemen out there, myself included. I suspect she'll be knocking on the 315# door in a couple of months.
Another thing on my mind is a good friend is about to get his smolov test day on and I can't help but feel like a parent watching their child step up to perform, knowing i'll be proud of him regardless of how he does. I'm not taking credit for his lifts, just saying i significantly contributed to him doing the routine to begin with, in a peer pressure kind of way. Peer pressure is kind of my super power. Additionally i know how much hard freakin work goes into completing this squat program, so whatever he PRs with he definitely deserves it. Although, so help me if this dude beats me on my squat PR, I will probably belt up right then and there and in a blind rage of fury crush me some squats which would be a fairly stupid idea, but sometimes you just have to throwdown.
Final thought, I'm starting a Strength focused class at my crossfit gym to get all them yo pros strong. Most of them have an endurance-y background so getting them stronger will be a fairly straight forward project. However it's my first official crossfit class and I get to control programming and a WOD so i'm kind of excited, like first day of school excited. I'll be basing the workouts off a conjugate style approach, and keeping their metcons fairly short and focused. The class will be a different vibe than what their used to, but it'll be fun.
