Olympic Lifts
Ivan the Terrible strikes back for a PR in the Snatch, a couple PR misses in the Clean and Jerk and a heavy Deadlift to top it all off.
Ian's long time goal was to hit 200 Lbs in the Snatch and 250 Lbs in a Clean & Jerk. On 11/21/09, Ian once again closed up shop on a Saturday afternoon and went for it. A few misses, but in the end the PR's were met! There are still a couple of flaws that need work, but all in due time! Credit for the killer programming goes to Greg Everett of Catalyst Athletics - Ian hasn't done anything but what's been posted for quite some time and it's paying off.
Ian doing some more Oly work on 11/14/09. Two new PR's in this session. For not being a full time or long term Oly lifter, these were good numbers to hit. Ian had been following the Oly Lift WOD programming from Catalyst Athletics religously for the past 7 weeks and the results were showing. A lot of hard work, reviewing film in slow-mo and technique tweaking was paying off! There's still some room for improvement, but it's coming along little by little.

For a limited engagement, I’ll be modeling my newly acquired pink “mankini” this Saturday. Ian has generously donated a dancer’s pole for me to utilize during my modeling routine. Any and all donations would greatly be appreciated. All donations will help supply the CFC frig with delicious, thirst quenching BEER!" Posted in WOD 7/26/10
Trent - you're welcome! I agree with you 100%. I actually found it after my return to a strength day this past Tuesday. It felt SO GOOD to sling some weight! That essay was like a mirror to how my soul felt. Yup, it was that deep. I'm glad you dig it! =)" Posted in WOD 7/24/10

Kaysie- Thank you so much for posting the link to "Iron and the Soul" by Henry Rollins in the forum. A super inspirational and heartfelt essay. I think it eloquently puts words to what most of us feel deep down. For those that have not read it I would definitely recommend you do so.
See you peeps on Monday" Posted in WOD 7/24/10
