Started a week-long free membership to the 5th Ave Gym here in Park Slope today. It’s a no-nonsense, rusty, basement gym with heavy weights (DBs go up to 150lb here) and big dudes. Didn’t feel my best today and I think my torn up right hand was holding me back mentally. If I do join up here (only $40/mo) I’m really going to focus on max strength for a few months and see how heavy I can go with those big boy dumbbells.

* The guy working at the gym said I had “beautiful technique” on my snatch. Flattery will get you everywhere, my boy!
