Attained - Now starting with 2 arm swings w 32 kg started at 20 cycles of 7 reps 15:15, second workout did 25 cycles + 10 more rounds of 1 arm with 16 kg just for more volume. Snatches - Initial Goal 100 snatches in 5 minutes with 24 kg. Using 30:30 attained that goal this week, now will move to 15:15 w 24 kg as my heavy day, while continuing the assault to 80 continuous cycles with 16kg. Made 50 cycles yesterday + three sets of 10 additional rounds with 2 minutes rest in between. So have now made it to 80 just need to keep going to do one continuous set of 80 rounds. Strength going up, lost 14 pounds of blubber in last 6 weeks. Gymboss ....that beeping sounds almost evil at times, but no doubt the VO2 Max protocol will condition you. Keeping on the TGU's, keeping silent for the most part and clawing my way up the ladder. Yes

You nailed it. It's said that you become the average of the top 5-7 people you surround yourself with. So, that being said, refer back to the lines of your blog about being with like minded people, and people who have already done what you want to do. Keeping positive, upbeat, people around you is always beneficial! Geoff,

so i been contemplating what do i love… evening, into the night, middle of night in my journal, this morning… look what you did..
now i’ve perked up, back to cheery bunny again… with lots of fun to anticipate that i had forgotten about when i got swept up in the office dramas…. muchos grazias :)
p.s. you’re the only person i know who would email asking for help and then say ‘i am emailing to find out how i can help you’ Just that alone spelled relief to me as i’m one who usually holds it all together for everyone else… can’t even remember the last time anyone offered me help – just to get the offer was thrilling!
