This is Michele
If I had to describe Michele’s work output, power output, work capacity and performance during a workout on a consistent basis it would be, let’s call it, respectable, with room for improvement. I mean, Michele tries hard but, she could try harder.
Well, on Tuesday, she did!!
Michele, not unlike a lot of people who come into the gym, will use the same weight on the bar regardless of what the movement is.
I’m not sure the exact reason but I think it’s because they have a certain number in their heads and don’t think they can go above that weight no matter what the movement is.
Tuesday we did the Clean complex.
It was 1 Power Clean, 1 Hang Squat Clean and 1 Front Squat every minute for 10 minutes.
Normally, Michele would never go above 55 lbs on the bar.
As we went through the 10 min EMOM with Michele fighting me on every minute, we went up to 75 lbs!
She did the last 5 sets with 75 lbs!!
That’s 20 lbs more than she has ever done, ever!
I let Michele know that her performance was super impressive compared to her normal behavior.
You see!!!! Anyone can do it, you just gotta get the fuck out of your head and stop thinking you can’t do heavy weight.
No matter what “heavy” means to you, you can do more!!
Just fuckin do it!
That’s 75 lbs! Most people can barely lift a 75 lb bar let alone clean it!
Great Fuckin Job Michele!!
