Great workout with Geoff Neupert

Olympic lifter, trainer and RKC Geoff Neupert came out to the Rifstonian Institute for a training visit today. He also brought his incredibly athletic wife Courtney so she could get her kb training in as well

Some weight was lifted at Stones today! Geoff did some EDT training in the deadlift with 13 singles in 15 minutes with 459! Very nice, clean grip deadlifting.

Deadlift (double overgrip,hook)
135x3x2

Hey Chim,

It just means deadlifting the kb to a stand and then pushing thehips back to start swinging. makes me start and stay much more upright.

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
