Working Hard

Great Day,
I have to work this coming weekend so I took today off to be with my kids and my lovely wife.
But...I still got up at 5:00 and went to Spark where I received some fabulous 1 on 1 training with Kim Leyton, the owner and head trainer. We worked on Push Jerks and Split Jerks as I had commented that I wanted to improve my Oly lifts and the jerk is a key element. Hand positioning, head movment, and the dip/drive/land sequence fells really good when you get it, really bad when you don't. The Oly lifts are a sequence of movements that cannot be thought. You have to train it until it becomes part of muscle memory or else you overthink it and screw it up. One of my issues is that I don't get aggressive enough under the bar. You need to actively drive yourself down under it, even in the jerk. So today, that was a focus. 135lbs is a very comfortable weight to train on. Not too heavy to get tired real fast, not too light so that you float under the weight. All in all, it was a great time.
Then I went for a few business meetings (day off is a relative term), and then I had time to go back to Spark and do the WOD. Todays WOD was a 1600 meter run, 100 push ups, 100 squats.
Finished in 11minutes, 17 seconds. Not bad. Felt really good from the morning workout. Body was already warmed up and ready to go so the WOD felt great.
Diet was good today and I treated my family to gelato. Delicious.
