Actualizing Potential





Does anyone really know what there own potential is? Until you have pushed the boundries of your mental and physical abilities. Even then, have you truly found the limits? Everyone has the potential for great things and for improvements. Recognizing weaknesses and executing a plan to diminish them is an important process. The last 2 days have asked you to push that limit and see where your current boundries lie. Your goal is to now attempt to push beyond that boundry the next day. Even if that boundry is something as small as making it back for another workout when you are sore. Try not to stop halfway down the stone path and fall in the water. Perservere and continue on your journey.




Wednesday
Advanced level - Press, Push Press, Push Jerk 8x1.1.1


Intro. level - Press, Push Press 8x1.1 Push Jerk (practice weight amount on) 5 x 1



We began learning the push jerk on Monday and if you feel comfortable with it then utilize it in your workout. If you are not overly comfortable or cannot remember the skill well then practice it as its own skill. To do the workout, each set you will do 1 rep of press, followed by 1 rep of push press, followed by 1 rep of push jerk. Rest for 2-3 minutes between sets and repeat. Try to increase weight on each set finishing with your heaviest set on the 8th set.
