I can't really recommend school as an alternative. At least with most jobs, when you leave for the day you're done till next time. *sigh* If only I'd better cherished those years of doing nothing…
I don't think my job is quittable ...
But I'd sure like to get paid for it!!
I've been wanting to try the black tea Chai (don't know if it's the same you mentioned) ... I have the rooibus Chai and that's great mixed with mate vana.

I think that is the blend my cousin gave me for Christmas - (I haven't tried it yet because he told be to dump it into a bowl and re-mix it first as right now they are layered on each other rather than mixed)

I have the Masala Chai. It's really good. Very spicy. Great with a touch of honey and a splash of milk.
Trained this morning. Squats were good, the rest was just so-so. I've been up since 4:15am so maybe that's it. Hey, I'm not complaining...at least it's done right?
Speed Front Squats - 2x20kg, 2x30kg, 3x40kg, 4x2x50kg
Jill, explain the speed front squats to me. I've been really working on my front squats to enhance my oly training. But, just regular front squats.
Right now I'm doing three types of front squats in my program. The first is a pause front squat where you stop at the bottom of the squat, hold it for a few seconds, and come up. This forces you to really use your ASS and gives you strength and confidence to NOT get stuck in the hole at the bottom of a clean. I also do speed squats where you take 70-75% of your 1RM and you really go for speed. Drop down like a clean and come right up. Then I do max triples at "normal" speed (still fast cuz they are oly style). I was doing max singles before but I stopped making progress so we switched it up.
I'm sure uber-guru Manuel can chime in and correct any stupid explanations on my part.

Nah youve got this
The purpose is because one of Jill's weaknesses in her lifting is raw leg and core strength from the bottom as well as confidently moving heavy weights quickly. She was doing singles for limit strength and now shes doing triples to build more tolerance with relatively lighter (but still heavy weights) so that she can push her limit strength further.

Ok srsly Jill your avatar is killing me...it looks like a frosty and we live on the SAME STREET as Wendy's!!!
Mmmmmm...frosty. Actually it was some sort of a blizzard-y type of thing that was simply a prop for the picture. The kid has a chocolate milkshake but obviously had his sights on the blizzard as well.
