Though we refer to them as “lifts”…the weightlifting component mostly is about “accelerating” weights. And that starts with being able to pull…not with the elbows and shoulders…but pull from the hip.

Nice set up.
Shoulders, elbows stay loose…waiting for the hips to come through (pull)

Wagon Wheel.

“In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.”

“Don’t count the days- make the days count.”

“Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.” -R. Marston

And the ever popular:

“Someday is not a day of the week.”

If it isn’t the big smile or spontaneous “Ickey Shuffle” that brightens the gym…then it’s the rock solid plank pushups, dynamite squats, and PULL UPS. Marissa, word on the street is you’re celebrating a birthday? What’s your 2 best secrets to share with CFers to bang out classes like you do?

Enjoy a happy birthday!

 

For the moment forget a few large corporations owning the world’s food supply (think eating “organic” is all cozy and local/mom&pop? look who owns organic…)

For the moment forget the efforts to undermine self-determination by not being truthful in labeling (true, if it’s got a label it ain’t food, but still…do they have to spend that much just to say that they won’t say they use GMO ingredients?)

Now, would you believe that GMOs might be making us fat?
“Over the course of 90 days, the rats on the GM-corn diet grew fatter and consumed more food than the rats on the non-GM diet.”
“Fish eating GM corn grew faster, and they ate more, than fish eating non-GM corn.”
” All the genes from the GM food that rats and salmon ate were later detected in their blood. A common argument among biotech companies is that any new genes are destroyed in the intestines when you eat GM foods, but that’s not true according to this study.”

 

On a less controversial note (possibly), HERO WEEK shirts are in!!

Please only take a shirt when you are checked off the list. And please only take the size listed on the list!

Enjoy!
