Pull-ups and Oly-lifts

This past Saturday, we took a look at pull-ups, from the simple jump to the butterfly, and followed that up with a run at Cindy, doing as many rounds as possible of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats in a 20 minute period. We had a great push from everyone that came, especially the new guys.

Sunday, Ben and I went to Richmond to attend an Olympic Weightlifting seminar, headed up by Chris Wilkes and assisted by his sons. The seminar was absolutely great; everyone got tons of reps on all the major lifts (snatch, clean, and jerk), all of them critiqued by a top coach and his three sons, all national medalists. Hopefully we'll get a chance to show you guys some of the material we learned in the coming weeks...



Taught by this man (right)


His second oldest


And his two youngest
