FRIDAY RECAPPED !! THANKS FOR HANGING IN!!!


  Wow, what a great session on Friday. I have not done anything like that in a while so I felt it on Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to all that joined me. The new session begins on Friday. We will revisit the basics and the theories behind Hard-style training. New people will gather a better understanding of what is happening to them while veterans will use heavy bells to illustrate the point. Like the saying goes, 'if it is boring then it is too light'. This is going to be a productive week. I hope it generates some productive news about training locations. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for anything that may be suitable. Winter is approaching fast. Tuesday training is on the list provided it is not raining. I will email the group. Enjoy what remains of the indian summer.

YOU ASKED FOR IT !!!!


  WHAT'S THE OLD LINE? CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR?
  Today I came up with the slightly modified '300 workout' for our training pleasure. Instead of pull-ups we will substitute pull-overs. Instead of box jumps, we will be doing 'bend and thrusts' (burpees). Same muscle groups just a slight variation due to the lack of availability of 24" boxes and pull-up bars. I did the training today. The transitions must be quick. The movement patterns are more gross motor so a high level of skill is not needed. This does not mean we get sloppy. No non-contact injuries tonight. This will make you a believer. A believer of what? When your finished you will understand when I tell you how great you are...I mean it. We have a very strong and conditioned group and NOT JUST FOR OUR AGE. The name of the game is Hard-Style and we are the Hard-Core practitioners. YOU WILL LOVE THIS !!! TONIGHT WE GO-HARD...AND THEN GO HOME!!!
