100% New max lifts in all four lifts.
75% New max lifts in 3 of the four lifts.
50% New max lifts in 2 of the four lifts.
25% New max lifts in 1 out the four lifts.
Reflection:
I have had tremendous success with all students both male and female who
do the daily workouts obtaining a new max in all four lifts, When the
students put forth the effort they will always continue to increase in there
Max lifts. We always keep the atmosphere very positive and high energy
especially with the microphone. All students will help to spot and support
one another. The students also know that they will be lifting in front of there
classmates, which make them accountable. Having the boards on the wall
has been a great motivator and incentive for the students as well as the
weight lifting T-shirts. I have many students continue to take weight training
each year and continue to gain in strength and enjoy the class as it also builds
self confidence. Weight training is a lifetime activity and all students can
benefit from strength training to some extent from the time they begin in
High School throughout their entire life.
