There seems to be a theme for this issue of Performance Menu Journal. Can’t seem to place my finger on what it is 🤔🤔🤔.
Honestly though, the entire life cycle of this journal has been a miracle from start to finish. I really hope that you were all able to benefit from the trove of information that we were able to put forth!
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Been sitting on this video a while because I was too intimidated by and his sigma grindset. But seriously, we worked together to improve his overhead position coming out of lockdown and it paid great dividends. As Alisdair said, It's about drive, it's about power, we stay hungry, we devour Put in the work, put in the hours and take what's ours.

It’s been a hot minute since I made a meme but nothing was inspiring me until now. for the photo credit.
Us coaches don’t get enough credit for the brave faces we put on.

I want to give my sincerest gratitude to everyone who came out on Sunday in support of the fundraiser for for this Remembrance Day! We held a 5 minute bodyweight back squat challenge and together we raised $1000 which went towards helping disabled veteran engage in physical and recreational activities as part of their rehabilitation! As a veteran myself, I have found sport to be instrumental in helping me overcome some of the psychological and emotional challenges as a result of my service. So to that end, I need to say a big thank you to the community for graciously hosting this event.
Congratulations to for absolutely crushing the women’s division and pushing my own numbers. Thank you to all who have donated and supported me through and made this event the success it was!
Ich dien.

Rx Weightlifting is pioneering the new sport of Synchronized Weightlifting. Maybe that's the sport's future after Olympic Weightlifting's ejection from the Olympics? 🤔

The Weightlifting Club Formerly Known as RX.
Yesterday we moved out of the home we've been for the last three years, and although our members are spread to the seven seas, we will always be a family. After thousands of kilos lifted, hundreds of PRs, countless competitions and medals, we are all bonded for life. Although we may not have a physical home for the time being, I can promise you that, one day, God willing, we will reconstitute.
I want to give a special shout out to
for coming out and helping with the move. 2,005kg worth of weights in 6 hours is no small feat.
For now, RX Weightlifting will continue to exist in name. Meme content and remote programming will continue. Got lifting problems? You know who to call. Stay strong fam.

Are you about to attempt a PR on your squat? Try priming your central nervous system (CNS) before the lift to maximize your chances of success!
In the video, you can see make a 200kg back squat PR attempt. First we overloaded his bar to 220kg (10% heavier than the intended weight). Next, he unracked the bar (don't walk out) under tension, and held the weight for no more than 5 seconds. Upon reracking, we immediately stripped the extra weight and he went for the attempt. Even though the load on the bar is a PR, it felt relatively light in comparison after the heavy unrack. Now the athlete has greater confidence and has a fired up CNS for the PR attempt.
Note that this technique is not guaranteed to give you a PR on any given session. Instead, it needs to be used in conjunction to proper peaking and recovery towards a maximal testing day. It can be applied to both the front and back squat. There have been cases where you may apply this to the classic lifts but it has to be done very selectively. For instance, perhaps on a heavy jerk from the block attempt. Practice a heavy unrack first before going for the jerk. For sn**ches and cleans, you can attempt to do a heavy clean pull prior to the attempt. However, understand that because the aggressive extension is a power generating movement, the athlete may very well fatigue for the actual PR attempt. So where I would employ this technique is for athletes who are stronger than they are technical, in order to build confidence prior to a max sn**ch or clean attempt, provided that I KNOW for a fact that they'll have more left in the tank for the actual PR attempt. As such, employ this technique for squats, but employ VERY SELECTIVELY for the Olympic lifts.
