Thanks to Kevin, I decided to test my leverage club Torch Press abilities. Oh, how a mere 35 pounds can humble me quickly. After a good warm up with a 25er (shown above), I played with our custom made 35 pound club and was met with a resounding ‘go to hell’ from my right side. Mr. Lefty, not often known for his strength dominance, did a fantastic job, much to the right arm’s chagrin. Congrats to Kevin, who is hoisting a 45 pound Bruiser in his video. I have something to strive for.

So…

Torch Press. heavy sets.

Pushup rows. Heavy DB’s, 20 reps for time. Ouch.

2-Handed Turkish Get Ups. a few sets of 6 ought to do ya.

Updates and Info

The website should be complete.  Maybe something has been missed, but I believe the articles have been updated, the workshops have all been updated, the Summer Strength Camp has been added and the the CrossFit Total meet has been canceled.  There will be some added tweaks today, to be sure, like the addition of the upcoming APA powerlifting meet in March, as well as our Spine Strength workshop in Austin, but feel free to peruse the site for recent info.

For those of you who keep anxiously awaiting a newsletter, mosey over to my blog, where I post a ton of info every week, usually every other day or so.  Putting something in your email box seems redundant, but I’ll send out reminders on occasion.

Please rip apart our archives and see what info we’ve been posting.  From chapters of my upcoming book to ramblings on squat technique, there might be something worthwhile somewhere in there.

Thanks for reading,

Chip

  • Ah 2-handed TGU’s. Fun stuff!

  • I shed tears @ the cancellation of the CFT. I wish I could’ve committed to it but I’ve that work obligation. I hope a CFT meet can get off the ground at a later point. I’ve really enjoyed training for the overhead (and will continue to do so).

  • 2 handed TGU’s!…haha..I’m gonna have to try that. TGU’s are one of my favorites!
