Winter is coming. Can Taylor and J-Bo outrun it? We are in our second week of our Fall Whole Life Challenge. How are you all feeling? Hopefully, we are all through our "carb flu." This week's healthy lifestyle challenge is to practice morning gratitude. The instructions are simple:
"There are oh-so-many ways to get the day started. It can be an automatic process, with its tone and energy determined by the first thoughts you have when your eyes open, or even the thoughts you had right before you went to sleep.

Jason and Sam deadlift heavy. You are also going to deadlift heavy today. Today's Technique Tuesday video is with our favorite non-nonsense strength Coach, Mark Rippetoe. Today's heavy deadlifts will feel so much easier if you keep a vertical bar path. Your goal is to lift the bar from the floor in a straight path, any deviation from a straight line increases the vector forces on your body. You don't want to increase these, trust me. It's very common, if you're not engaging your lats to keep the bar close, for the barbell to drift away from the body with each rep. Take the time to place the barbell back over your mid-foot before you pull for each and every rep. This reduces the chance of injury, and ensures a straight bar path. Straight bar path, that's your goal, kind of like it was your goal to walk a straight path to the bar on Saturday night:-) Duane looking totally cool and composed on the erg. It's Mobility Monday and day 10 of the Whole Life Challenge. How is the WLC going for you? Are you doing your daily mobility? We had been following along with a weekly MovNat mobility practice and now we are following along with Yoga Tune Up for this Whole Life Challenge. Do you prefer one style of mobility? Do you notice any similarities between the two styles? This is our last week of the Beyond the Whiteboard Fitness Level Up challenge. Has your Fitness Level changed? If it went down, don't despair! We are having a PR Party this Saturday and you can try to increase your fitness level with any workout you choose. Be ready for some fun new workouts starting in October. |
