"At the peak of tremendous and victorious effort, while the blood is pounding in your head, all suddenly comes quiet within you. Everything seems clearer and whiter than ever before, as if great spotlights had been turned on. At that moment, you have the conviction that you contain all the power in the world, that you are capable of everything, that you have wings. There is no more precise moment in life than this, the WHITE MOMENT, and you will work hard for years, just to taste it again."

max weight olympic lifts, focus, and intensity
Up until this week I've gone into the gym knowing I should be able to accomplish each
set of every workout that my coach has had planned for me. This is the first
week that the weights have become heavy enough that its doubtful if I'll hit
most of my lifts. I'm now doing 2 sets of 2, often at a PR weight. Now that I've got to the point of my training that each lift
is a challenge, Olympic weightlifting is totally different. Now every time I
approach the bar I have to be completely focused on that one repetition. The energy
of being in that kind of a situation, where each rep is vitally important to the
entire days training is more intense than anything I've ever felt. I'm enjoying
olympic weightlifting more than any sport I've ever done before. This is intense.
