Ok, ok, so I failed at updating last week on Sunday… but in my defense, it was the start to a crazy week… Anyway, here’s what we’ve got: WEEK TWO Monday (W2D1) 1) Snatch: find a max for the day then 80%/1, 85%/1, 90%1 of daily max 65×2, 85, 95, 105, 110-2X, 85, 90, 95 2) […]
As I parked at my practice rink on Sunday night, I heard my text message alert go off (who could miss that chocobo wark, really?). I grabbed my phone, and saw it was a text from my soultwin, Voldeloxx. I opened it, and here’s what it said: “Congratulations, Captain!!” The words, “You have got to […]
In my attempts to move forward and learn more about all things lifting, I’ve decided to embark on a journey with an individualized lifting program. This will be in addition to my typical Crossfit, Derby and group Oly classes, so everything. is. about. to. get. crazy. Since I’m training for the NYC Open, I’ll be […]

Last night at oly I had the worst day I’ve ever had lifting. I’ve had days where technique has been frustrating and I’ve struggled, but I’ve never just been so CONFUSED about what was going on with my body until yesterday. We started with some general work, and then moved into Max Snatch for the […]
As many of you know, I was losing my mind last week because my first Olympic Weight Lifting meet got moved up from the first week in February to the second week in January. This cut my training time into… pretty much zero. That said, the whole purpose of me doing the meet in February […]
