If you're the only one, does it negate the hard work you've put in?

Today our lifters started their test/meet week prep.  Today they pulled have for 5 reps.  After that some glute/ham raises and a couple other lower body movements were included as well.  I have about 5-8 lifting in he meet from our team.  Also have a couple of my clients interested in lifting as well should […]

Today our Powerlifitng squad wrapped up the week with some Pin presses at a different height than last week for doubles as their main lift.  After that they did an array of upper body movements to compliment their training session. I attempted to do strict box squat.  Got stuck on my last set which was […]

Cable Lateral Raise: 3x30xLight Wt BB Overhead Press: 5x5x Moderate Wt BB Shrugs: 4x10: Darn Heavy BB Floor Chest Press: Work up to a hard 5 reps.  Rest repeat the same weight for 5 reps again.  Rest...do it ONE more time for THREE working sets of 5 Heavy reps Incline DB Chest Press:  3 sets […]

Thursday 2 laps prowler, Friday 20 mins walking, Sunday 3 laps prowler-2 laps with 20lb more then usual and then did a drop set lap. I wouldn't call it a cool down set because it is the GD prowler and there is no such thing with that. 9/23 Upper Standing abs with MAG close grip […]

It happens. Figure it out and move forward.

Today's set up was reminiscent of the scene in "Caddy Shack" Judge: Well, Ty...How do you measure yourself if  you don't keep score? Ty: By height   Today we broke out the lifting groups by height. Hex Bar Dead Lifts: 10x1x Heavyish... Prowler: 8x40 yards Squat: 10x3x Heavy

I keep hoping that I’ll be able to post that I feel great, but it’s not happening, at least not yet.

More "fun" training

Today our powerlifting squad hit some rack pulls heavy as hell and a lot of lower body accessory movements to compliment the training session.  We have some of our team really showing progress following the program.  Am getting excited to see their meet oct 22nd here at the facility. I hit some BB mil presses […]

Today our lifters hit some upper body rep work.  They hit a lot of reps.  We did our normal warm up then onto some board presses, BB overhead presses, shrugs, rows, dips, then a rotational movement to finish the training session up.  Love seeing everyone stick with he plan/program and succeed. I did som light […]

One Emotional Day!

I'm fairly certain, that makes me a Wizard

I like using the Farmers Walk just about all year with our lifters. We wave it in using a 1 handed option and using both hands from time to time.

I literally feel like I'm starting all over again.

I was talking to a few friends who were missing the "Good Old Days" of Powerlifting.  When there were measurable amounts of FREAKS and CHARACTERS. Granted, the doors are now wide open for a NEW breed to take the platforms, mostly brought on by the popularity of Crossfit and the commercializing and main stream promotions […]

Tuesday 2 laps prowler, Wed 20 mins walking 9/21 Lower Long strap abs 3x5 per stance-standing , high seat, lower seat for 5 rounds Reverse hypers 4x12 to open up the back and warmup some.  Contrary to some of the things i see from the webtastics, this will always be a staple for  good back […]
