Maintain that good back angle and look to have a strong second pull, you can drop the weight each time. We will work on the Snatch High Pull and Push Jerk thoroughly for about the first 15-20 minutes of class. Lets have a good day. Come ready to improve yourself.  Thanks.  Always Thirsty Concept:Always feeling thirsty is a concept I came up with when describing what a craving feels like; or that of which an addict constantly battles.  The addict always feels thirsty in the way of not being satisfied.  When a person is thirsty they crave a drink of water, or something or another that will satisfy their thirst.  Well, it is similar to an addict in that the addict always feels like something isn’t fulfilled in their life.  Like anything they are involved in should be more enjoyable, or more relaxing.  The addict craves instant gratification; they want to fulfill their craving in the same way the everyday person want’s to quench their thirst when they are thirsty.As I ponder this subject, all that comes to mind is that the best way to beat a craving is to prevent a craving.  I’ve found that if I structure my life in a way that is built on a strong foundational routine, I can actually prevent a lot of these cravings from sneaking in, and taking from in my head.  I can actually feel peace; and the thirst seems to be quenched for a time.  This foundational routine that I speak of is a vigorous routine that involves fervent prayer, meditation, extensive reading and studying, working out, eating healthy, service, among many others.  This routine is sometimes a challenging routine, but it’s a must routine if I wan’t to have that positive light about me; a light that can only be obtained by living a clear life full of charitable thoughts and actions.  If I stay on this positive path for long enough I start getting glimpses of the old me, giving me hope that one day my thirst will be forever quenched.-Hawk
