We did lots of mobility and "feel good" work this morning. Then we had a half hour to let 'er rip and have some fun. I know of few things that are more fun than picking things up and putting them down. See what I did there? Funny right? I know. Throw some abs in for old times sake and a few jokes, you got yourself a jolly old time. Feel free to add your thoughts on how terribly stupid this is or if it fits in your boat of good ideas, let us know that, too. The able fellas who could pick the heavy and odd objects up to the shoulders, did so in a train like fashion. They then preceded with moderate push presses. This got a load from floor to overhead. The less strong of the crew did basic deadlifts, moving a load from floor to the hip, they then did sandbag shouldering which created some speed and dynamic movement getting a load from the hip to the shoulders. Then finally, they did barbell push presses which got the load from shoulder to overhead. All in all, it was dirty fun. Enjoy.

Whenever the weather and time permits, and sometimes even when it doesn't, I get outside and enjoy the elements for some underground training. If you're not sure what that means, watch the video. Use the tools that are available to you and get stronger. Pick up rocks and throw them. Run and jump on and over various things. Get dirty and rage with no rules. Post a comment on your favorite way to beast out, let loose and blow off some steam while making yourself a stronger person.

After downing that delicious shake last night, I feel totally amped up and need to hit a quick workout today. But I also need to recover for the insane week of training thats about to commence. So I will do both. I'm gonna hit the cold shower for some recovery, and do a little light lifting, make sure I have some fun, and maximize my time. How do you like to get your training in when conditions are not ideal? We often do not have time to hit the gym, energy to lift a finger, or or mentality to make a move when the cards are on the table. How do you man up and do the things that others won't do? you know the deal...

"We do today what others won't, we do tomorrow what others can't"

I love that shit! And speaking of shit, see if you can spot the shit attack in the video... enjoy.

Hey there, Strength Shop monsters! Really quick today. I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and hope everybody has something that they realize is very special in their lives. Spend the day with your loved ones and do not take anything for granted. Among many other things, I am grateful that I have a strong support system of friends and family that enable me to live the kind of life that I want to live. Thank you, and I love you.
