You hit it on the head in the email, there are people who go through the motions and there are the select few who take to the next level. Some of the people at the next level might not be the absolut strongest but they replace it with intensity and heart. I see this all the time when new people start our program. They think that just because they have big max numbers they can conquer the world but their work capacity sucks, and so in 5 to 10 minutes the kids half their size and strength are kicking their a$$ Keep Rocking It Blaine Love the O Lifts

"O" lifts and the assistance lifts totally rock. The more you do those powerclean and presses/push presses, the better you will get at them. I remember as a kid I wanted to do OH presses and would just take the bar from the ground and power clean it with no formal instruction on how to do it. Never got hurt, and years down the road learned the technique from an Olympic lifter. With time, patience and a lot of practice you will be rocking the weights on that lift. I know a lot of people squeal about how technical the "O" lifts are, but I always say if a person considers themselves even somewhat of an athlete, they can't be very athletic if they can't learn the "O" lifts. I go in today to see my surgeon. Lookin' forard to getting the nod to start training again. Haven't been able to do anything as doc was afraid of possible blood clots from surg bustin' lose and jackin' me up. All I could do is walk, because I was not to elevate my heart rate. That and keep my leg elevated as much as possible. But when I get the go-ahead today, I will be incorporating the "O" lifts right from the get-go in my training. Gotta grease-the-groove and re-connect the old synapses. Will start off with PVC and work up to 22lb. bar and probably the 45 "O" bar. Then from there I will slowly work my way back up over time. So your 135 lb. power cleans, at this point is waaay ahead of me! So Zach, maybe I will catch up and pass you? Ha ha! Go easy on me... Hey, I need the challenge to get me back in the game. Keep crankin" it bruddah! Walter on the come-back-trail Zach,

Love it!

I'm a BIG fan of C&Ps. Something I like to do, too, is when I'm doing 1-arm DB C&P is to alternate arms every rep. A rep left, a rep right, and repeat for desired reps. This kinda thing is KICK ASS for not only building strength & power, but builds some MONSTER work capacity as well. Awesome stuff, dude!
