“Linda” is a b@#ch

We had our first member advance to a higher Phase today. Josh Appel came in and said he didn’t feel very motivated. So, I challenged him to take a few tests on his way to the Intermediate Phase. Well, one test led to another, and 2 hours later he had completed his entire Intermediate Phase exam. He did awesome on everything, great job and congrats! I look forward to seeing more and more members advance. You can test any time you want, just have me or any other coach initial your test sheet. The phases have gone over extremely well and I am psyched everyone is enjoying them. Always feel free to offer me feedback, criticism, or any concerns, positive or negative.

Athlete of the Night definitely goes to Jess Lasky. She didn’t want to do what was on the board and asked to do "Linda". We scaled it to 70%, her lifts were a 125lb. Deadlift, 85lb. Bench Press, and 65lb. Squat Clean. She struggled throught 10s and 9s, and hit her breaking point on the round of 8, I wasn’t sure that she would make it. But, this is the same girl that almost died her first night at ACF and came back to finish class, so I knew she would do it, and she did! She pushed herself through every last rep and looked amazing! I am so proud of her, great job Jess! Watch the video of her finishing rounds 3, 2, and 1 below.

I’ve added a new feature on our Leader Board. If a name is underlined, it is linked to a video of that PR. Some of the PRs are on bigger videos and many of the videos are the same containing multiple PRs. I’ll do my best to get as many PRs on video as possible. Keep hitting ‘em!

You can check out 2 new PRs from tonight on the Leader Board page. Angie hit a 245lb. Deadlift, and Ernie hit a 135lb. Snatch!

See everyone in the morning!
