"Every kilo counts"

"Every Kilo Counts": A quote from Paul Doherty of Hassle Free Barbell Club. An idea that Jon has beaten into my head pretty much since the day I met him. I say it a lot, “every kilo counts” or “one more kilo”. You should go into training with the goal of beating whatever you did last time by 1kg.

Max power snatch? Beat it by 1 kilo. Triples from the hang? Beat your best by 1 kilo. Keep your jumps true, why try to PR by 5kg if you haven’t even attempted a PR by 1kg? 1 kilo becomes 2, becomes 3, becomes 5, becomes 10, becomes the American Open, becomes Nationals, becomes the podium, becomes a gold medal. Always add 1 more kilo, because every kilo counts.

This video is awesome because it’s not important. It’s one day of training. A day with fauliurs, a day with assistance PRs, a normal day of training that shows there is no normal day. Every day is THE day.
