Today I had the pleasure of being instructed by Kristan. I really like the female instructors, not that I don't have mad respect for Alec and Steve; I just enjoy the girls point of view.
For strength we had to work on our 1rep max on any of the following: OHS, Front Squat, Push Press, Snatch, Clean or Jerk. Kristan suggested I work on my Front Squats, because I am still struggling getting my elbows up. We started with the 45lb bar and gradually added weight until I couldn't lift. She pushed me to 65lbs, we tried 70lbs but I was not able to lift up out of the squat. So my PR 1rep front squat max is 65lbs... for now...I plan on breaking that PR soon!!
WOD: Helen

I still do not have full range on the KB swings at 35lbs. Well I have full range if I'm only doing 5 or 10, but after that I'm half range at best. I am not able to run the full 400m, I know I know.. pretty sad.. I have never enjoyed or even attempted to run for fun, so it's boarder line torture for me.
I purchased a log book from the Gym today, while filling it out Steve gave me a few tips on what information to keep track of. Not just the WOD and my time/reps, but my range and substitutions/scaled weight. Diet including alcohol consumption, sleep, and stress. Well tonight's entry is going to include a few margaritas. >=o)
Look what I spied..Shake Weight...hhhmmm...I'm still waiting to hear the practical joke behind this..

Male coaches are better. :)
clearly not.
The female trainers are like Obi Wan Kenobi; they provide guidance on how to harness the force, master the jedi movements, and to channel the inner voice to positive results. They relate and sympathize, therefore are better at helping to understand mistakes and communicate how to correct them. Steve you are like the Grand Master Yoda, and share your legendary wisdom on the origin, history, purpose and power of the force. "Secret, shall I tell you? Grand Master of Jedi Order am I. Won this job in a raffle I did, think you?"
haha!! love it jenelle.
