Max out March

Max out March

March begins our month to test our current max effort lifts.  These efforts will set us up for a new lifting cycle beginning in April.  If you should happen to miss a lift this month, please do your best to make it up another day, or come in on Sunday.  

A few point to remember when maxing out:

• Use your Percentage Chart religiously – it is here to aid you and take out the guess work
• As you get closer to your max, start making smaller jumps in weight (5-10 lbs)
• Rest at least 1 min between sets and 2 to 3 minutes between max attempts
• Focus on a perfect set-up for each lift
• BREATHE – take a big breath and hold it for the lift.  This will help you get a tighter set-up and maintain core stability.  Exhale when you are exerting the effort and completing the lift
• Don’t be scared (this is especially for our ladies and those new to lifting) - “Strong is the new skinny,” so get on the bar and lift…you will like it, especially when you can out-lift the men in your life.  In the world of weightlifting, a double bodyweight deadlift is the Louis Vuitton of weightlifting.  Just ask Ang!
