Great session guys! Monster lifts Mark, Eric, Erin, and Teresa. Huge increases since last lift Todd McK, and Katie- outstanding.

From the properly racked position, the dip-drive, to an active overhead- nice work. There were several cues we talked about- thanks for your hard work hitting those targets.  
 
Coach Rippetoe refers to running shoes as "squishy" and maintains a decent drive can never be realized while wearing them. He will not allow them in his gym. We simply suggest that you try a few lifts without them and see for yourself. Do you have a better feel for the drive from the heel?

Companies pay way smarter people than I lots of money to design shoes to unload the heel. Run in running shoes. Lift in flats, or spend a little cash and invest in lifting shoes. You will notice the difference immediately.

We have talked about and practiced bailing out. Part of hitting a lift will be missing a lift. Failure is a component of success. Know ahead of time how you will escape the bar and bail out should you have to. No red juice, please.

Congratulations lunch crew. With a score of 1,680 to 1,522 they won the latest of the competitions. That brings the total to 5-2 in favor of the lunch crew. Hooyah lunch crew! Gotta step up soon night time people!

Wednesday is a rest day. Use your extra time wisely, and do something that feels good. Come back ready to roll strong.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Mess you up!
