We hope y'all got out and voted yesterday. I think we can all breath a sigh of relief because all the campaigning is OVER. No more political ads! As for the election results...well, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.

Today we're working on behind-the-head jerks, which should help all of us with getting overhead squat loads overhead. Because I just wrote the magic word "jerk," the start position is standing up nice and tall, and the finish position is with bent knees and fabulously locked-out arms overhead. The jerk is explosive, so those knees and hips need to be quick! The key is drop quickly under the bar. See?
