Cheers Becka, I reckon I got some extra Oly-lifting proficiency from the shirt.

7 o’clock crew were mainly drilling different skill transfer exercises for the snatch (due to my inability to remember that I was supposed to be teaching them the clean & jerk). Mainly worrying about jumping from the absolute highest position possible.

Really cool discussion today guys. It actually is really cool to be able to work with articulate and thoughtful people.

Becka, that reminds me that Mr Wolf owes me a photo!

“If you take responsibility for your actions and execute, you’ll reach your goals.”

Harsh?…maybe
True?…definitely

I can definitely see this kind of matter of fact talk putting some people off, on the other hand, seeing that a coach expects this much (as you would get in any rugby/football club) would probably motivate me more.

I dont think anybody can know if they are going to be totally committed to something before they try it out and discover whether they like it or not. It wasnt till I got out of my previous job that I was able to get regular exercise in and finally start to make progress. Then the diet changed to the level I’m happy with, carbs and bread out.

It also doesnt consider that if someone is completely new to exercise that a big step is just to start doing it. Food, sleep and other things can be changed further down the line once a reasonable level of fitness is gained. They seem to expect everything the minute you start. That’s great if they are looking for people who are already fitness and health conscious.

Interesting debate guys, look what I started ! I suppose it all depends what you are looking for and what mood you are in when you read it.

Though they would be pushing it to get me to sleep 7/8 hours a night. Even as a kid I was awake for hours listening to everyone else snoring. We would have a lot of cross words on sleep if I went to that gym
