Coaches Notes
Lifting heavy stuff is the best thing you can do for your body. I will try and keep this simple. Your brain controls motor neurons that tell your muscle fibers when to contract. Think of it as an on / off switch. Our body likes to be lazy. This means that unless necessary, the brain will not recruit more muscle fibers to complete a task. The only way to tap into your full potential is lifting weights in the 85-100% range of your 1 rep max. When we have you lift heavy in a workout, it is because we want to train the central nervous system and recruitment of your muscular system. This stress on the body makes you stronger and will help you reach your overall fitness goals much faster.

Everything is easier when you’re stronger. Now go pick up some heavy shit.
“Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general.”
-Coach Rippetoe
One of my all time favorite quotes. Rippetoe is a genius.
Hey coaches, thank you for keeping up with the coaches notes. I read still read them every day and appreciate the tidbits of information.

Thanks for the appreciation Heather & Kim. Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads them haha.

Wow! That is must have been one hell of a warmup. It takes the quote “your workout is my warmup” to the next level.
