2x24 jerk 2 mins 12 rpms
2x24 jerk 1 min 12 rpms  x 2
My legs are still fryed from saturday.. I had some snap in them but no distance... kinda frustrated me...
I wanted to go 8 minutes straight at this pace but my legs had other plans!!
24kg snatch 8 minutes 16 rpms... this is probably my best snatch set ever! I was under control, and my form felt great...it is funny because when my jerks didnt go my way... I was ready for the couch... Glad I just kept ignoring the crazy talk in my head.. this set was not a PR or anything, but the quality was much better...

Functional

Just like songs that get overplayed on the radio, words get overused. In the fitness world, we see this happen quite often. Basically what happens is you hear a word so many times it becomes flat or somehow loses it meaning. Perfect example is the word functional. I think we all agree that this word has been prostituted so long now... it means nothing, or it can mean anything, regarding anything... "I am going to get on that treadmill because somebody just got off of it"... sounds like a functional plan... 

What we see now is unbelievable... this word functional had exploded into the mainstream America and now we have different degrees of function.. highly functional, extremely functional, sort of functional, not very functional The word functional has completely lost it function.

 

When I see or hear the word functional, I know that somebody is trying to get me to buy some kind of bullshit that they happen to be selling...
