Loading Weeks and...

Hard work. And hitting PR and earning stickers. But did the new California Blue T-shirts have anything to do with this rash of improved lifting? Or, was it: Tight. Close. Finish. Feet flat as long as possible?

In the brutally hot confines of the gym, lifters are preparing for upcoming meets. In a gym that is hotter than outside, lifters prepare for two upcoming meets: June 9 and July 14. Water bottles as well as PR are demolished regularly.

Keith hits a PR snatch and PR total on max day 77/95. The only question is: Will the state records fall June 9 or July 14?

Ron hits PR in front squat not once but twice, double dunking what he did for a single the weak (sic) before.

Brieh bangs out a double in her previous single best.

Ben forgoes the 15 minutes of rest critical to the CJ complex, but gets it done anyhow. 94 will be routine soon. he will see payoff in his July 14 meet.

Zach powers his way to snatch PR and attempts a huge increase in his jerk, missing with a misloaded barbell.

Erik gets under the bar in the snatch and finds it was not all that bad of a place and then hits squats where he gets a PR.

New faces come in and learn to be smoother and faster. An old face, not interested in progress, hangs out for the entertainment value.
