RESULTS:
Oly Lift Bias @ 75#. I decreased the weight to focus strictly on form, which was a good thing since Steve pointed out that my split jerk stance was to narrow. All the coaching videos I've seen of Coach B never has him mention that your split is a wide stance. Steve's gone through the Wilke's Oly Lift seminar, so I trust his coaching. Plus I could already feel the difference in stability. The change in stance will probably increase my jerk weight by 40#. Can't wait to see a split jerk day.

Haven't done tabatas in a while. This WOD shows I still need work with my work capacity and muscle endurance. I think I was sandbagging a little on the squats. I just wish all the other exercises felt as "easy" as the squat. I keep reminding myself during my workouts, since I bunked during the Marine Corps Marathon, that I have to push the pace where it's uncomfortable but not unsustainable and to go balls out at the end. That's the only way I'm going to make improvements--push myself at an uncomfortable pace and then push some more.
