Equity for all,The Golden Rule

Do unto a light bell as you would a heavy bell. It is a gift to work with clients who do not rush things and allow the bell to be part of the feedback loop. The wall squat sometimes is the teacher. Not a popular teacher, but the body is gaining good things. The teachers you remember are the ones that didn't hand it to you, rather they provided the platform for you to discover and experience something new. I can see expressions of satisfaction as a clean clean replaces a bicep curl clean. Double cleans and alternating presses today; awesome,powerful!
These ladies practice the corrective strategies on their own time and ask great questions. I love it when students participate beyond the mechanical component of class. Mastering new patterns can be frustrating, but actually you are loosening up the tangle we sometimes get into with the grey matter. What's that mean? It means let go of it already, put your hands on your hips and "laugh out loud,fling out your arms and cry out for your pathetic,whining self." Get over it, get on with it and grab the bell. And have fun!

Thank you Catherine, Marie, and Laura! You made my Saturday great!!
