Going Strong

Looks like you are going strong! Wish I could say the same for me....I've been spending my time figuring out how to keep Shorty in! Much and varied fencing materials have filtered through my hands the last couple of weeks and I think I am finally successful in keeping him from visiting the neighbors or playing with the fast moving cars in the road.

So, while I haven't been "exercising" for exercise sake, I ain't been sitting on my hands, either.

However, I do really, really need to get a formal plan started, more than just walking the dog or taking him to the park. I'm stil having problems with the walking, though, so I have to do something about that, too.

This is the Split Jerk. My form is slightly better than David's, as he has not locked his elbows. A locked elbow will make all the difference when there is a lot of weight on that bar.
