Technique

It's all about technique - get the technique correct and you will be amazed! I'm talking about Olympic lifting.
On the 11th of January I successfully lifted 90kg using the Power Clean technique x 3 times after starting at 60kg.
I weighed myself during this lifting session and the scales told me that I weighed in at 75kg.

Adding to this, this morning of the 14th January I successfully completed 3 x Back Squat at 120kg.  10kg heavier than my previous PB of 110kg.

Everything seems to be going quite well - earlier in the week (last week, starting the 7th of January) we did the 2012 CrossFit Open workout no.1 again, 7 minutes of burpees with a six inch jump and touch with both hands (jump and touch a bar 6 inches above your reach).  When I completed this back in February 2012 I managed 72 burpees in the 7 minutes - this time however, after 11 months of CrossFit training no less than three sessions per week I increased this to 91 burpees in 7 minutes, an extra 19 burpees over 7 minutes!
