Still trying to find that mental strength to tell the barbell who is boss and believe in myself enough. Practice is so much easier then competition. It seems when I get out there on the competition platform I choke and can't even get the lightest weights. Its all about finding that zone which I have been in a couple times by accident in practice. I started crossfit before that but am really enjoying lifting mostly with a few crossfit workouts once in a while. Good luck with your lifting!Kimberlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192424147478328075.post-8729141528132469242010-10-10T09:02:19.053-07:002010-10-10T09:02:19.053-07:00This is great!

I look forward to seeing you kick ass at some big meets! I just had a meet yesterday, so everything you talked about with mental toughness on the platform is fresh on my mind, and you were spot-on. Happy lifting!Lillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511981913945080969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192424147478328075.post-43931538128548187422010-10-09T01:08:15.758-07:002010-10-09T01:08:15.758-07:00Awesome.

Can you give us that link. What do you think about trying to do both the 12 week program and crossfit at the same time? I am trying to work on my Oly lifts and need some structure beyond my own farting around before class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192424147478328075.post-55052330919672588842010-10-01T18:01:23.410-07:002010-10-01T18:01:23.410-07:00I remember when our coach decided to program Olymp...I remember when our coach decided to program Olympic lifting focus into our regular weekly program, and I loved it. She was right: CrossFit can and does make you fit, but if you want to see some major improvement (both in form and weight) on the Olympic lifts, you have to take the time to focus on it.Jenenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10873511305290056352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192424147478328075.post-66697097167633440812010-10-01T11:26:45.935-07:002010-10-01T11:26:45.935-07:00I backed down to one day of Crossfit a week and am...I backed down to one day of Crossfit a week and am mostly Oly lifting too. The thing that was making me crazy about Crossfit is the lack of periodization. It's just virtually impossible to periodize stuff properly when you're programming for a class of twenty different athletes on fifteen different schedules. I definitely see a role for some "constantly varied" training, but I really wanted a core of consistency and measurable progress. I don't know that I'll be a dedicated oly lifter forever, but I really like focusing on something enough to see measurable improvement over time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687427953737482536noreply@blogger.com
