Intro to Blog

Hello,

I hope you are all as excited as I am to learn more about different lifts , but how satisfying they can be.  I have been lifting for about 3 years and have fell in love at first lift :) I will be posting helpful tips on not only lifting , but nutrition as well.  The first and most important thing to know before you start lifting , is how to lift properly. Anyone can pick up a bar and just lift some weight. Remember always hearing lift with your legs not your back? It's so true. I will be able to post some videos with helpful tips as well. You want to make sure that you have a proper form before anything. The better the form and movement, it is just that much easier to lift more weight than you would ever seem possible. I will never forget working with my coach Pete that stressed this so much. I would practice hours on end with a empty bar just to make sure the movement was correct. I was so shocked when I loaded the bar and the pulled the weight I never thought I would hit.

Nutrition plays a big roll is lifting as well. If you are not getting the right nutrients and not feeding your muscles with good clean food , not only do you hurt your lifts  , you can hurt your body as well. Recovery is a must and essential to build your muscles , recovery can be anything from eating proteins right after a session, or finding a good recovery shake that assist with recovery period.

I love to learn as much as I can , so any feedback is much appreciated. Please feel free to ask me questions , as I just might have some for you as well. Cross-fit and Olympic lifting is like having a family we are all here to support and encourage , and cheer you on!
