I missed a week!!! What can I say? I am human after all.
Currently, a good handful of our little community is coming off that incredible competition last weekend. For a recap on everything we did, check back later this week!
This week, we saw some split jerks, deep power snatches and cleans, and that long recovery EMOM on Thursday. I am seeing huge improvements in your olympic lifting with all this breaking down of the movement.
If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times- PATIENCE is key. Not only in the lift, but with yourselves. The clean and snatch are the two hardest movements to pick up because they are complex and require the use of both mind and muscle. This is NOT something that you master in 1, 2 or even 5 years. Be kind to yourself. You ARE improving!!!
Some highlights this week:
Somehow, Patrick showed up Monday and blew everyone out of the water AFTER competing for two days straight in the Valley. We’ve all heard of mom strength, but maybe there is something to be said about dad strength. Hmmm.
Callie came back to 5am!! While it won’t be every morning like before, she coached the Friday morning. And I can guess how excited they all were (since they have been missing her for months).
We had 4 new members join this week! If you see Cindy T, Jen K, Kelcie, or Lee in class, be sure to give them the big Kainos welcome we all love. And no, I do not mean a sweaty hug.
