progress at waxmansit’s been about three months or so since i’ve started weightlifting under sean waxman’s supervision. today was the first time i didn’t snatch or clean from the boxes, which is great news. i’m much more comfortable with the snatch, and i’ve become more consistent over time. at my current level, any additional work from the boxes is likely to yield diminishing returns. it’s time to start throwing around heavier weight. it is then that your allowable margin of error shrinks to near nothing and technique becomes more critical than ever. i’ve just recently begun working on the split jerk, getting the footwork and body position down. there’s still a ways to go in strengthening my torso, so until then, i probably won’t be cleaning and jerking challenging weight, but i’m definitely looking forward to the day that i do.
