Yes, it is that time of year again when everyone is penciling in their NCAA Brackets and hoping their Cinderella pick is going to make it all the way. At EPHS, the athletes are one day in of the their max week. Monday March 15th all the athletes started with the Power Clean. 3 Athletes standout in my mind right now. Cassie Boykin and Corie Culpepper battled each other for the Junior Girls Power clean title, as of now Corie has edged out Cassie with a lift of 165 pounds. The Sophomore Boys Power clean was in jeopardy yesterday as Loren Nesberg set a new personal best and tied last years Tyler McFall at 270 Pounds.
There have been other great lifts and personal best but those are the three that came to my mind right away on the first day. I am very excited to see how this week unfolds, because it is the week before Spring Break. Our athletes will either stay focused and crush their PR's or they will fall off and have an average max week.
This was a short cycle which started on January 26th and only gave the athletes 7 weeks of lifting and we made an emphasis on the hypertrophy stage the 9 weeks.
Words of Wisdom: Records were made for breaking!
P.S. I would take all of my EPHS athletes that are in my class to any strength Challenge, Lifting meet, Strong man Competition, and feel very confident in our capabilities of winning the thing!
