Weekend Off

I headed up north this weekend to camp with my friends. It had been a while since I have gone out of town, so I really enjoyed myself. I went camping and visited one of my best friends who I do not get to see very often. After a weekend of drinking, sleeping in the back of a pick up truck and eating whatever was easy to bring (donuts, hamburgers, beer, water, chips..) I was ready to get back to working out today. There are many areas I want to work on, push jerks being one of them, so I did some practice of that today. I felt better as I went on, the first few sets were a little sloppy. I have gotten away with being strong for a long time, but now I realize that my form/technique is holding me back in all my max lifts. I need to break old habits and figure out how to fix myself to improve all my lifts. After the Push Jerk Practice, I caught up on yesterday's training from OPT

(grip was the limiting factor on the DL, the set up position and not using an alternate grip made it pretty challenging to keep the bar in my hands.)
