The Satisfaction of a Completed Lift
Apr 09, 2019
Hey there,
I’m not sure why it is, but for the past 9 months I’ve been REALLY motivated to lift.
My goal isn’t to set any PR’s (personal records)...
...instead it’s to get cut and have a really strong core for my tennis and golf games.
Every body part you work will involve core work.
And this certainly holds true when you train legs...
This is today’s leg workout (it’s probably gonna take me 2 days cuz of time restrictions).

This workout is no joke.
But the feeling IS SO GOOD when it’s done.
There's nothing like the satisfaction of a completed lift...
I was at our Gonzaga team lift yesterday evening.
There’s a bunch of new, young guys in there… kids who haven’t spent too much time in the weight room.
It’s REALLY important to explain proper form to those kids...
Yesterday we broke down deadlifts.
...Butt down, hamstrings engaged, big chest (no rounded back, feet about shoulder width, hands just outside of that.
Drag the bar up your shins. Fire the hips through.
Coach Bernstein is the strength and conditioning coach for BTB LAX.
He does an excellent job explaining all the technique needed for the different lacrosse specific strength exercises.
He's in a TON of the BTB videos...
(For those that aren’t already diving in)...
Talk soon,
