I am back at the gym for my second and final
fundamentals course. I walk in and the
coach teaching the course is just about to hit a workout with a group of
people. He sees me and asks if I’m ok
waiting until he finishes the workout. I
oblige since I’m curious and eager to learn so I wanted to watch. Again these guys are at it and I’m amazed
watching this coach who is probably 5’7” maybe 165lbs lift 225lbs up for cleans
like it was nothing. He finishes comes
over and I met Danny and again I’m headed over to the corner with
these PVC Pipes. We mainly focused on the Olympic Lifts which I had pretty much no experience with. These felt very awkward even with no
weight. Snatches forget it! The receiving portion shown in the image to
the left(no this is not me!). To see the full movement if
you have no idea look it up on Youtube search "Olympic lift snatch". Overall, I gained as little comfort as I could
on these highly technical movements.
Again I left and I couldn’t wait to hit the class on Tuesday since
Monday was Labor Day.
