Robyn running from the law?
So far the Olympic lifting classes have been what I would call successful. Several PR's, lots of different movements, lots of learning. However, there will be some changes to the programming, starting immediately. First and foremost, there will be no more 1 rep maxes (1RM's) performed in the class. This is for a couple of reasons.
Number one, we have such an array of ability levels within the class, that it's not always fair to have some of our athletes attempting 1RM's so soon. More technique and practice is needed.
Number two, some of you attend the Oly-lifting class after having attended a class for the days WOD. I don't believe it is necessarily wise to have anybody attempting a high skill/high intensity movement at a high weight after having just taxed your bodies' so heavily in the previous class. Thusly, some changes, as already alluded to, will be made.
The first change will be more drills, for more skills. More time and care will be taken to practice the Olympic Lifts from every position. Even for advanced athletes, this is goodness. Light weight, multiple repetitions, honing in our technique. Secondly, there will be opportunity for lifting some heavier weights. These weights will depend on your form, and how you are feeling that day. Finally, I would like for more individualization to be available. If there is a certain movement you would like to work on, or if there is a movement that I think may help you more than what I have programmed for everyone else, there is no reason for you not to be able to do something different from the rest of the class. I believe these changes will make the class more enjoyable for athletes of all levels. - Coach Luke
