We have spent the better part of the last two months learning how to move our bodies correctly in order to get stronger and prevent injury. We have focused on a few major lifts and have sprinkled in various auxiliary movements. Just about everyone is working hard and will make great improvements, however it is all for nothing if you don't learn something along the way. For this weeks blog I want you to be the teacher. If you can teach someone something you learn it on a deeper level.
Think about the lifts of the squat and the deadlift. I want you to come up with the most important cues for thoes two lifts and give me a five step process for teaching each. For example, if I were to do the same for the bench press it would look like this:
Bench Press
Even grip, have spotter
Shoulders packed back and down
Feet planted
Inhale, elbows out, lower bar to chest
Exhale, press to lockout
Your five step process should show me how to do the lift correctly and should include any safety concerns. I will not post these responses untill Friday.

Period 2 Weight Training: Goals
"Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."
Stephen A. Brennan
We are nearly finished with all of our assessments and are well into our regular workouts. It is time to take a look at our goals. We will pull our sheets out and set goals for each of our assessment areas, but it is impossible for us to focus on all of those goals at once. For this weeks blog, I want you to pick the three areas of assessment that are the most important to you. For example, the goals of a football player are going to be very different than those of an athlete on the cross country team. We can gear your training to focus on those areas that are important to you. This does not mean that you will not improve in the other areas, only that we can tweak your individual program to help you meet your indvidual goals. For this weeks blog, list your three most important goals for the semester.
