Awesome!!!

That’s right, awesome! And today, Chris Hinkson had it most of all.

Chris loves lifting the iron. She also is a very nice person. In fact, one of the nicest folks you ever meet. However, being nice while moving with a barbell doesn’t always help when attacking an Olympic lift.

Today was different. She PR’d her High Hang Squat Clean and Jerk only two pounds below what she PR’s on a Clean and Jerk from the ground only one month ago. Two Pounds!!!

And the best part of the lift was not the part where she completed the lift and made it look easy. The best part was the approach she made to the bar.

Chris strode three aggressive steps to the bar that Dusty Lee would have been proud of. It was these three steps that portended the greatness of today’s lift. We knew she was successful in those three steps. It was the aggression, the confidence, and the habit of doing rather than overthinking that made this awesome today.

Were you awesome today? Chris was. Now it’s your turn.

Way to go Chris!
