Back In Action

Well its been awhile but I’m back for good. Took some time to focus on training and now I’m rolling I can blog again and hopefully inspire others along the way. I was doing a lot of crossfit because I love it, but as I was doing the metcons I noticed I was lacking and getting sloppy with my lifts. Lifting is fun but when done wrong it leads to injury and time off. No one who loves training as I do likes time off, and no one likes injury. I was not properly warmed up doing thrusters and I pulled something in my back. Only took 2 days to recover but thats when a light went off, I need to focus on the lifts. I went to a crossfit coach to get the basics down and took my wife along. She lifts and I wanted her to learn proper form as well. Once the basics were down I worked hard to practice but was still missing something. I decided to lay off the metcons and focus 100% of my energy on olympic lifting. I hired a lifting coach who only teaches lifting and its been a blast. I’ve PRd on every lift and my squats are stronger then ever, his way of teaching is not like the others. We reset after lifts and don’t worry about high reps. I started over and to be honest I feel more comfortable then ever. Its all about timing not strength and I never knew I could lift what I am lifting today.
