I was very proud of my guys today in the gym...they all set PR's.
They decided to do clean and split-jerk for a 1-3RM for ME upper day today...and I mean they went balls to the wall. A little success has taken them a long way over the past few weeks.
Chris has always had back problems. We got rid of the belt (loosened it a lot the first 2 weeks, took it off after that), started doing hyper extensions and ab work, and he is doing fine without it. Working on his triceps and his bench form has increased and his overheads have flown up. I hope that it all carries over to his throwing a lot. I don't see how it couldn't...
Shamir is pushing some crazy weights too. He did full clean and jerks with 255x3 with a bum knee today...and he nailed ALL of them (after throwing too).
Rebecca ate 3 meals before lifting today, had better color, and looked stronger on her throwing and her box squats. Emily and Jamie both looked VERY strong on box squats today and they found a new love for using bands on squats. They also set a solid PR on cleans.
The best thing about the throwers is this...they are all excited and yelling for each other in the gym...like a TEAM. No other team does this in the gym...but they are doing it now. Everyone watches when they lift (because they are doing 'different' exercises also) as they yell each other on to push harder and get a PR. It is awesome...intensity.
Two of the three football players that I was working with...cooked up A LOT of food on Monday and have started eating full-time
I told them to NEVER get hungry. Eat whenever they feel hungry. They are excited about the future and their progress!!!!
Kaleena, 6'2" basketball player whom I've been helping with her bench form for 2 weeks now, came down to the weight room today (wayyyyy out of her way) just to let me know that she set a PR on the bench this morning. She benched 115 with NO pain and was soooo pumped about it. She also said that by her Sr year (she is a Jr. now) she wants to bench 150 and get her picture on the wall with the other girls who have benched 150. Her thanks, excitement, and handshake was worth a weeks pay...
