One of my favorite people and heroes, legendary Coach John Wooden, on success. And a shout out to my Grandfather, Jack Woodley, who first introduced me to the John Wooden pyramid. 17 minutes filled with decades worth of wisdom….time to exercise your brain; 3,2,1 watch! Have a great Easter Weekend!

Sometimes its just you versus the bar, I love this picture of Michelle doing CrossFit Games Open WOD 11.3 (just her second time to do cleans in her life!). Many Oly coaches dislike CrossFit because of the high rep Oly lifts, but I believe proper coaching and high rep work or working while fatigued at very low weight, may be the best way to teach a novice. Michelle’s looked like another person entirely in her last 2 minutes of the workout, it was exciting to watch!

Of course, I am not recommending this for long term success of lifting max weight in the oly lifts, but I wholeheartedly believe through numerous experiences, to include this one, that the body can learn to move as it should (in a more efficient manner) in a semi-fatigued state.

Pretty close to triple extension, nonetheless a great jump and shrug for a beginner
