I'm pretty happy about 345. I doubt I'll jump to 355 next week, though. I'll try to get a solid five reps out, maybe. The only reason I didn't is because my grip was giving out (mostly due to sweat). I wish I had chalk. Sweat should never be an issue. I do feel myself reaching my limit, thoguh. My lift for 345 is really slow.

Parkour today was fun. We had three youngsters who were quite new and began seeing how we could structure their training in an appropriate way. We started with a light warm-up and began a few technical things, making sure they knew lazies, sides, speeds, and turns. From there, we had small and short routes for them to practice connecting those basic movements together. We spent a good long while doing this, then moved to the rocky area to practice some jumps. Then to BSB to play with the rails where it winded down a bit and we began to just mess around and drill. The end was at "Heather's Place" where we practiced some more jumps and I played around with some drills and very short "combos." A fun day that otherwise just would've been a hot day spent indoors with air conditioning.
