Elizabeth

Anything with weight on the bar is usually in my comfort zone. My last attempt at Elizabeth was 10:49. Today I did it in 8:28. I am very happy with the results, but in hindsight, I should ahve pushed out another rep or three on each broken set of cleans. The ring dips went as quickly as possible with good form on all, but the cleans just need to come faster if I am to make sub 8 next time. This is a 20% improvement since May. I am happy with that, given the funk I have been in lately.

I did struggle on the trial for a 1rm of OHS. I jumped in too heavy, too fast, and wasn't warmed up enough. I stopped trying early when I realized I would either miss my goal or have to take a long time to go back and work my way up all over again. I may try again tonight just to make sure I get it in this week. I did get in 410 DL last night at the gym. This is 10lbs over my 1rm 6 weeks ago. It is pretty cool to see 4 plates on each side of the bar, got some interested looks too.
