CJ Thursday’s
Mental setback today. CJ took care of me - simple with enough -push through it-movements. I also saw Odi.
CJ Thursday’s
CJ is a strength coach at RMU and worked with and under Todd Hamer. I’ve done his classes before and glad to be back. Love his creativity and attention to detail.
Booty Pump Class
It was nice to have the gang back together. Booty Pump by Rachel kicked my ass, literally.
Sculpt and Flow
Reflect. Take yourself out of the box. Experience how much you can learn about yourself.
Perspective
Foundation still lags but building off of this training phase I am not upset about one bit.
Bench Transition
Bench will help my bench. Consistency will help it improve. Extensions will get me jacked.
Deadlift Transition
My deadlift transition from the beginning of training until meet day. I can also use this as a reference for the next phase of training. #bebetter
Meet Recap - Live Large Fall Brawl
"There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength." First single ply meet and totaled 1,017 at 132. Click here to read more.
Last Heavy Bench
Today's training was to get an idea of what jumps I can manage and what numbers were realistic for the meet.
Build Your Foundation
Nothing wrong with learning the basics and most importantly taking your time with them.
Pause Squats
Adapting to my new training schedule, currently I am training assistance work during the week and traveling to the compound on the weekend to get some coaching with gear.
Bench
After taking first place at the Live Large Fall Brawl II, Yessica wants to mix up her training as she preps for her next meet. She’ll be doing all the things except getting under a bar. Her logs will cover yoga, salsa/bachata, and conditioning. Plus you’ll get to see her train for her next geared meet in July. The goal?
Coaching Tips
The support from my mentors/coaches and fellow lifters at union, things could be more challenging. #grateful
Extra Day / GPP / Accessories
We feel great lifting heavy shit until we do anything endurance based.
Bench
Feel weak. I’m using training as an outlet, not a purpose right now. Hopefully soon I’ll get back into the swing of things.
Your Experience Is Your Power
It’s taking something you think you’re good at and working down from there.
Deadlifts Against Bands
Learning curve. Learning process. This is what makes an athlete and coach - experiences and failures.
Upper Body
Benched Sunday at learn to Train. I was surprised with two puppies and never got around accessory work. I’m not mad about it.
Deads + Deficits
How we work on form with our main movements should be practiced with our accessory movements
Floor Presses
Until I figure out my shirt situation, training upper body with the boys to keep me accountable. Going from shit to suck.
