Beast Mode: Scrawny Boy is Back

Remember, Athlete of the Fall comes out tomorrow


So I have been known to be on both ends of the JZ spectrum; crazy praise and harsh criticism. When he told me he was coming back at the end of October, I made it clear that he had to work his way out of the doughouse he built for himself after his 4-day Summer attendance. He's not all the way out yet, but he helped his cause yesterday (and with four weeks of consistent attendance).

I did a drill with him that helped his timing on both the clean and jerk and he worked up to getting a solid-form 220-lb. clean and jerk. But I noticed the clean looked pretty easy so I was curious to test the waters - giving him two sets to work up as high as he wanted.

Final result: 250-lbs. PR.

Keep working scrawny boy.
