Heavier than Week 1, around the same as last week. Should be challenging for the last couple of reps on each set but never a grind.

Coach Joe Gazio
By David Osorio
CFSBK is very sad to announce that Coach Joe Gazio, who many members knew as our Friday evening Olympic weightlifting coach over the summer, recently passed away after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Joe was a special person who brought enthusiasm and warmth to every single athlete he worked with. He was always kind, humble, and motivated to bring out the best in his athletes. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had Joe as part of our coaching team, and we want to extend our condolences to his family and everyone who was lucky enough to train with Coach Joe.
Coach Keith had this to say about Joe’s personality and approach to coaching:
There are a lot of important qualities to being a great coach, but at the top, I believe, is passion. Coach Joe had that as much as anyone for the sport of Weightlifting. He had an unbelievable wealth of knowledge, which he would readily share with anyone who was willing to listen. He treated every athlete the same, from renowned Games and Olympic athletes, to the first timer and average exerciser. Anyone who had the opportunity to work with him will tell you, you had Joe’s full attention, respect, and especially, honesty. Being around Joe helped me grow as an athlete as well as a coach, and his joy for doing what he did was always inspiring. His legacy will live on with every lift we attempt going forward, and every person we continue to share his knowledge with.
