Strength Rituals
$45!!
The concept of Ritual within our training gives us both the freedom to explore all options of strength and the responsibility to educate ourselves against the trends and nonsense that are perpetuated through the mainstream ‘fitness’ industry.
There is no magic in a single tool, a single program or a single principle. The Bodytribe template is license for creativity, allowing you to escape dogmas by embracing and manipulating the many malleable factors that we can use to forge our strength.
“Providing license to move from traditional weighted sets and reps to playful creativity, Chip then helps us figure out how to get started in this currently abnormal, but growing form of training. They’re working very hard showing us passion for movement and exercise, and having a blast in the process. His is a new definition of fitness, and it’s so much more.”
- Laree Draper, Iron Online
Almost as much a low-budget DIY documentary about our program design concepts as much as an instructional DVD, Strength Rituals is simply a lengthened sampling of what we do and, more importantly, WHY we do it. Not a polished, pretty piece, this is raw and personal.
It’s rough, sometimes ugly. It’s deep, sometimes beautiful. This 2-disc DVD features:
* 4 complete workouts covering all aspects of the Spectrum of Strength using traditional and far-from-traditional movements and combinations.
* 2 dozen barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, sandbag, leverage club or bodyweight combos, eliminating any need for ever using a machine again.
The techniques and philosophy of Bodytribe are meant for folks who have a hankerin’ for serious ability. This is not a beginner’s DVD, nor is it for people not willing to put in the effort to achieve change in their lives.
Be creative, work hard, be healthy and succeed.
“Gushing reviews are not, I hope, what you have come to expect on this website. I like to think my style is measured and discerning. Well I’m sorry folks you are going to have to put up with a bit of girly gush because I love this DVD!!
I’ve never seen anything that has made me want to run out and train so much! It’s got all my favourite toys in it – barbells, kettlebells, sleds, tyres, bodyweight, leverage clubs….actually I’ve only ever handled a club once but after seeing this film it could easily become my new favourite thing!”

LIFT WITH YOUR HEAD:
The Training and Movement Philosophies of the Physical Subculture
By Chip Conrad
$22.00
“So many books merely offer instruction. Lift with Your Head offers insight and reflection. If deep down you’ve always had the inkling that we should play and have fun in order to live well, this book will articulate why that’s valid, even vital. If you hanker for recess in your adult life, if you are turned off by today’s corporately-run gyms, if you want to feel better without all the drudgery of “three 12-rep sets” and 12-week programs, this book will oxygenate a flame in you that has been quietly flickering.”
- Kat Ricker, The Mighty Kat
Like the Great Bob said, emancipate yourself from mental slavery!! Lift With Your Head is a collection of exercises and philosophy that make up the premise of the Physical SubCulture movement, which is freedom from the modern corporate gym culture.
Yes, there are a handful of the exercises we use that aren’t seen in most commercial McGyms, but they’re useless without a strong philosophy as the foundation of the workout. The second half of the book is the handbook of WHAT we do while the first half of the book is the WHY behind it all. A trained monkey can demonstrate exercises, but the pursuit of strength and health will only succeed with passion, involving the spirit and mind. Learning an exercise is easy, creating a personal philosophy about movement and strength is an entirely different thing. That is the premise of Lift With Your Head.
If you can’t play with us in person, at least you can join us via written word.

Listen up, gym rats, fitness freaks and iron heads. Has your workout routine gone stale? Stuck in that five-sets-twelve-reps rut? Chip Conrad, owner of the eclectic Midtown gym Body Tribe Fitness, has the perfect prescription. Conrad’s self-published book presents a unique training philosophy, which combines decidedly old-school exercise elements with an expansive knowledge of contemporary fitness and nutrition science. Forgotten exercises such as the windmill, the kettle-bell swing and the farmer’s walk are offered as alternative to restricted motion of weight machines. New additions include flipping old tractor tires or beating on them with lead-filled bats. Motivational tips for diet and keeping your routine on track are also included. It’s all delivered via Conrad’s lively, first-person prose, making Lift With Your Head one of those rare fitness books you actually want to read.
Chapters include:
Forward by Mistress Krista Scott-Dixon
Routine versus Ritual
The Process of Visualization
Defining Strength
and exercises like
The Bent Press
The Tire Flip
The almighty Deadlift
What people are saying:
“This book impresses me. Lift With Your Head is one part knowledge, one part humor and one part philosophy. Chip Conrad has written a book on the fitness lifestyle… about creating and developing a positive physical lifestyle that will carry over to every part of your life.”
- Jim Wendler, Elite Fitness Systems
“If you’re tired of primping Arnolds and bad-music gym scenes, isn’t this at least worth a try?”
- Jello Biafra
This book is honest, humorous and philosophical unlike any other fitness books I have. The benefit of this book goes far beyond his detailed exercise instructions. Conrad’s view of fitness is not about a perfect body. It’s not about being strong and having big muscles. It’s about being happy with who you are, and seeing your body as a useful apparatus with the ability to increase the quality of your life through movement. - Angela Horswill, VF Book Reviews
