YUSUKE

I joined the gym in March of 2023. What I was most interested in was the barbell class. I had been wanting to improve my technique on clean, jerk, and snatch. In addition, I really wanted to surround myself around strong athletes.

I was really excited to join CrossFit Central. Physically, I was not strong enough to expect that I would break any of my PRs, most of them were established more than 3 years ago at least.

Since joining CrossFit Central my strength and technique in Olympic lifting improved by a lot. When I joined I didn’t think I could lift as heavy as my old PRs. I really did not expect that I would ever break any PRs as my body ages. Achieving something that I had thought impossible changed my mindset of how I see things.

• Clean: 205 -> 230

• Snatch: 155 -> 185

• Jerk: 185 ->235

My confidence level has boosted significantly. What keeps me coming back? The people, facility, community, and Virgil’s playlist🎧
