Becoming an Athlete

We've all heard the old saying: If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you  there.  I'm finally crystal clear on where I'm going, so it's become incredibly easy to stick to the right road. My goals are: Build respectable clean & jerk, and snatch 1RM Get stronger in the big 4 (squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press) Get as lean as possible at 215lbs Get my arms to 18" Means to the ends: Clean / Snatch: I start every workout with some version of a high pull or partial Oly lift.  Once every few weeks I work up to a heavy single in the full lift Big 4: 5x5 or 5,4,3,2,1, with accessory work at 5x10.  Great progress thus far Get leaner: Ending each session with a MetCon. Bonus here is I feel much better, and my veins are getting veinier 18" arms:  Decided to do arms in the evenings, same day as big lifts. Now I'm hitting arms 3x a week, and getting more recovery days.  Holding at a solid but unimpressive 16".
