Insidious improvements

I've been doing the Gym Movement protocol for less than three months and while my lifts and body comp are improving, there is often insidious improvements that occur as well. Case in point, I met with two business colleagues recently and both said I looked really good; like I was handling the stress very well. I replied thank you and thought to myself, they really don't see me at my worst:) But truth of the matter is, people can see a difference. I just read an article about non-verbal clues and it was fascinating. It focused more on how to look powerful without saying anything. That is not my goal but I also don't want to look like a spineless wimp either - so keep your hands out of your pockets! By moving better, I'm sure I appear more confident; I know I feel a heck of a lot better. And my ROM has been simply outstanding, a definite PR. On Friday a co-worker saw me crossing the street and asked if I was in a hurry. I said no. He said you must have been because I was bookin'. Well, if your movement is good you can actually walk in a straight line (physics based) and you do get there faster! I had to laugh.

Training:
Pushups tested well: 26 PR intensity 75 volume PR and done in 10 minutes for a density PR.

Goblet Squat: 4x10 = 40 reps with the 24K in 10 minutes was a volume and intensity PR

Hammers: 5x5 with the double 35# dumbells in 5 minutes was a PR for volume/density

Today: just did snatches: 44# for 130 in 14.75mn for volume PR. Want to get to 150 in 10 minutes. As Mike Nelson told me, upgrades in volume will eventually translate to intensity PRs.....gotta love it!
