10+10
Gearing up for teaching this weekend at the RKC.
Messed around last night. As a SrRKC I have certain minimum expectations for myself. One of them is snatching the 48kg for 10+10, so I decided to take the Beast for a ride.
It was pretty easy--there's definitely more room in the tank. I think my ultimate goal will be 20+20 or 25+25, somewhere up there.
Warmed up with the following: 24kg/10+10, 32kg/10+10, 40kg/10+10. The 24kg felt terrible, so of course I went up. Then things got better. By the time I hit the 40, I was feeling good.
The toughest part of the whole thing was not letting my face go into startle--but forcing myself to keep it relaxed. This of course distracted me from my heart rate, which stayed up for about 5 minutes after the set. I hate that part, but admittedly, it's very cool to do that little work and have that big of an effect. The other thing I have to work on is keeping my right foot firmly planted--it started to drift into external rotation.
Was playing around with competing on August 10th, but it's too soon due to my hectic summer, so it'll be a summer of "Mastering the Beast" I guess.

wow. that's a pretty HUGE baseline. This is just what I was hoping to see from you man,taking your unreal strength and applying it full time to the bells. INcredible things are sure to follow.have fun this weekend, wish I were going too.
Very nice work my friend. i like you baseline and I agree that as a SrRKC it is appropriate (at least for those of us over 210lbs with fully functional shoulders ;))
Enjoy your debut, adn thank you again for trading with me.
Freaking huge!!!! that's it!!! what an awesome goal!!! the only goals worth anything are the ones that seem impossible....at first!!!
Those are some nice goals with the BEAST! 20 + 20 or 25 + 25? Yikes! I guess compared to your typical Olympic lifts, 106 pounds is a step down in weight. You obviously have built an impressive base level of strength with years of Olympic lifting!
That is some crazy Beast work!
Nice to see you here in MN at the RKC!
Rock on
