Yesterday was #brutalfriday a long tradition in not only our program but one that I had with #gaylehatchweightlifting program, and it is a magical thing. We had so many PR’s and the room was Lit! Here is @aurelia_chase_bujanda feeding off the energy. She hit 47kg/103lbs in a Clean and Jerk Complex and after she asked to single up and hit 50kg/110lbs in the Clean but missed the Jerk. However that is a huge Clean PR, the Jerk will be next. #strengthtraining #kidswholift #batonrouge #strength #225 #power #strong #brproud #speed #cleanandjerks #motivated #nolimits #weknowyourwatching #girlswholift @tyrsport @hookgrip @hookgripusa @hookgripstore @2poodperformance @usa_weightlifting @usaw.recruiting

@sh3lbym Shelby is one of our LSU lifters! She is a Architecture student and works hard not only on the platform but in school.

The expression says it all! Aurelia hit 35kg in the snatch, which has been eluding her for months! This was such a huge mental barrier that she overcame! Next we will do it in a meet! #strengthtraining #kidswholift #batonrouge #strength #225 #gaylehatchweightlifting #power #strong #brproud #speed #keepworking #mentalgame #motivated #girlswholift #snatch #sticktotheprogram #olympicweightlifting #weknowyourwatching #usaweightlifting @hookgrip @hookgripusa @hookgripstore @tyrsport @fleo

Each time we do 5rep work Liam sets a PR! He is one of the few who likes doing them. His best Snatch is 80kg (176lbs) x 1, and here is a PR of 72kg (158lbs) x 5! The days that we do the 5’s a session will last almost 4 hours and well around 175 reps total! It not only test your body but it test you mentally. The kids bring extra sports drink,gummies,and double water. When they don’t I get some who almost pass out! #strengthtraining #kidswholift #batonrouge #strength #225 #gaylehatchweightlifting #power #strong #brproud #speed #proudcoach #highvolume #highvolumetraining #chalkedup #weknowyourwatching #everyonecares #buildingchampions @tyrsport @hookgripusa @hookgrip @hookgripstore

The Team is at it again with 5 rep work! Aurelia after doing Jerks off the Rack and Snatches is doing 5 rep Cleans. Her current best clean is 48kg(105lbs) x 1.Here is 42kg(92lbs) x 5! This is the training that no one wants to do! Most athletes like doing the singles, but the 5’s are CrossFit as my kiddos say! However, my top performing athletes who are top 3 in the country all attempt PR’s in the 5 rep work whenever they come up in their programming! Later when the kids deload they feel amazing! #girlswholift #strengthtraining #kidswholift #batonrouge #strength #225 #gaylehatchweightlifting #power #strong #brproud #speed #highvolume #cleans #elite #usaw #stickingtotheplan #motivated #hardwork #creatingchampions #hardwork #noteasy #weknowyourewatching #realreps @tyrsport @fleo @hookgripusa @hookgrip @hookgripstore @2poodperformance

This is one of our college student/athletes alum of Catholic High, tutoring one the younger athletes in Math. Javan had completed his workout and instead of just ducking out he knew that Borat had a test and offered help! It’s these things that let me know that Coach Chasin and I are doing great things with these kids! They are getting more out this than just weightlifting - they are becoming great people! This was very important for my mentor Coach Gayle Hatch! #awesome #buildingchampions @chsbrathletics #catholichighbatonrouge #champion #proud #proudcoach #blessed @brucebarbell #gaylehatchweightlifting

@gymnathan08 Nathan has been trying to hit 100kg/220lbs for weeks. Nathan always shows up and listens to everything we tell him. The saying, “There are more bad days than good days, but one good day makes up for the bad days!” The journey from accomplished gymnast to accomplished weightlifter has been such an honor to watch. #strengthtraining #kidswholift #batonrouge #strength #225 #gaylehatchweightlifting #power #strong #brproud #speed #strengthisajourney #gymnast #gymnastics #noweakness #explosive #explosivetraining @blaineoif84

Previous week we were pushing 5RM and this week we are pushing the intensity up and doing 3RM and going for PR’s. Here @liambujanda_weightlifter is hitting 73kg/160lbs for 3 reps which is at this moment 95% of his 1RM. He was feeling so good I let him and some others go for a 1RM, and he ended up hitting 80kg, which makes sense! If you are interested in getting your total to go up please DM me to get your online programming!

@liambujanda_weightlifter doing 5RM in the clean and jerk. As I stated in the video, athletes should not be able to do 90% for 5RM. So we know that when the time comes to do a 1RM that he will definitely go higher than 100kg which is his current 1RM. The kids are always telling me that doing 5RM’s is like doing CrossFit. The great thing is that I myself(the coach)can say that it does in fact feel like a Metcon. As painful as they are the team loves doing 5’s not only in the Clean and Jerk but the Snatch! DM me if you are interested in online coaching and doing this type of programming to increase your total! #strengthtraining #kidswholift #batonrouge #strength #225 #gaylehatchweightlifting #power #strong #brproud #speed #volumetraining #onlinetraining #onlineprogrammingolympiclifts #5rm #cleanandjerk #usaw #wecoming #weknowyourlooking

We are asked all the time,”Do y’all coach Adults?” And the answer is yes. @dawn.sharp is a very accomplished athlete and is working with us to refine her technique on the Olympic lifts.

Baron aka Borat was on fire yesterday during Behind the Neck Jerk Wednesday! Borat has reps in reserve. So when we total I never worry if he is going to make the jerk. I have heard many well known coaches say that the behind the neck jerks are not worth training. However, on our team we rarely miss Jerks!!!If we Clean it we Jerk it!

As Weightlifters there are days that you are not feeling it! PR’s on those days are rare but here is @liambujanda_weightlifter hitting 107kg/235lbs x 3, just 2 weeks ago he set 105kg x 3 PR.

This week starts a new load week and 5’s are in full effect. Setting PR’s in the 5RM is not the team’s favorite but are very important part of their training.
