Take Your Shoes Home!
Please take your shoes home from now until January 1st. We’re cleaning out our closet area and want to make sure there are no abandoned shoes taking up space from active members. Also, in 2013 we’ll only be storing Olympic Weightlifting shoes at the gym, no sneakers. We’ll also be adding more cubby spaces for you guys.
Congrats to Coach MeLo for being accepted into Hunter College’s DPT program. Only about 20 out of 300+ applicants are accepted. We’re not surprised!

Small 9am class. Don't even remember the last time I did a heavy thruster.
95, 135, 165, 175, 185(2)
Was definitely pushing the bar up prematurely, which Fox pointed out. Couldn't seem to correct it under load though. Still pretty happy with this since the heaviest thruster I can remember dong was 155.

DIY dips; 20# 3×5. Fox gave me a good time, try to keep hollow body position on these, just like ring dips.
Thrusters: 45×5, 95×3, 125×3, 135×3, 145×2(F), 145×3. Think I hyper-extended my back on these. Think focusing on pushing my head through would help with this.
Sprints at 1:22, 1:20 and 1:19.
Sit-ups at 40#, and 50# twice.

215# thruster. I think 225 could have gone…
1:21, 1:24, 1:20 (feels good to run)

Nooner with MeLo. Worked up to 175 on the thrusters. Wrists weren't happy today. Could have gone heavier otherwise. Need to work on punching out the press. I have the same problem with jerks. Sprints in 1:34, 1:24 and 1:24. Leaden feet on the first run. The head wind didn't help. Sit-ups with a 45# plate.
