7-16

power clean - 135x3, 155x3, 175x3 coached by Rip himself
presses - 115x5, 145x5, 170x5

Denver seminar was a great experience. takeaways are to stay tighter and shove belly down, creating and unhinging at the hip rather than curling upper thoracic in order to set back angle for squat. keep wrists straight for bench. break up DL setup into the 5 steps rather than rushing through them. jump later for the pc, and pop the hips forward to create that bounce for the press. awesome weekend, rip and staff were great.
