I'm on day 2 of no power here at the Hill Headquarters...
Checking in from the Library!
In our morning classes:
Yesterday was our rematch with "Angie" some killer output and progress!
I'll crunch the numbers and comment more about the action once HQ is backed online.
Some random thoughts:
McCall rocked the workout and hit 100 pullups!
A whole lotta folks hit a whole lotta pullups!
Steven set a new class record at 18:42!
Stacey burned through a 18:52!
Many more in the 20 minute range!
Danny set a new class record with 42 pullups!
Jessica hit a 10 rep pullup pr! (wait to you see the picture of her hands)
Terence hit a 19 rep pr!
Team 5p:
Worked some strength with ring dips and L-sits, some skill with overhead squats - Burned through a tough Metabolic Conditioner at the end.
The Big News was; Leo took his gloves off!
I have tons of killer action photos - hope to have them up tomorrow!
Today we hammered the Hang Power clean to a push press.
We tackled it with 2 minutes of work: 2 minutes of rest x 6 rounds.
Some really amazing effort!
Again some great pics - will be good to view to review form!
Cya tomorrow - Hope power is back on then!
First off, several personal records for 5p tonight!
The opening show was watching Cheryl hit her first pullup...oh, she then hit 5 in a row!
Laura B had a previous best of 4 pullups (established 4-weeks ago) she hit 14 today!
Yes that's right, she went from 4 to 14 in 4-weeks! WOW!
Melissa popped out 12 solid chinups joining the double-digit club!
Jeremy got on the record board with 24 and Mickey with 21, congrats guys!
There were plenty of other PR's...congrats to all!
The Strict Presses looked rock solid also...great progress 5p!
Take a good look at todays pictures it might help you with your strict press form. Note Elbow and torso positions. The goal is to get those elbows under the bar! Note the pictures with elbows not under the bar and how the torso then tends to arch back. This elbow and torso position also pushes the bar further away from the body.
On another note, I saw some really good adjustments today that led to plenty of extra reps. Did you feel the difference when you took a huge breath, squeezed the glutes, locked in the core, and then pressed the weight?
I'll upload some more comments and content later...
