Team Practice Saturday April 30

Those of you who are planning on lifting in the Colorado State and Open Championships May 7th, lets plan on getting together this Saturday at 11:30 for a Team Practice. We'll organize rides, review the rules,figure out weight classes and go over what you want to total next week. As for lifting, since we are a week out this Saturday, it is a good idea to test for a max single in each lift to see where you are. The purpose isn't to set new PRs but simply to evaluate so we can set up your practice lifts next week and attempts at the meet.A reality check, so to speak.

Here are some vids of recent fun at the club.

 

USA Weightlifting's New Online Magazine

USAW recently put out their new online magazine called "Strength +". 70 pages long it has some really good articles about the goings on at the Olympic Training Center, athlete and coach profiles and event results. 

Athlete, editor and feature writer Rachel Crass did a great job putting this together.
