Yeah Joe’s happy to be rowing….but not as happy as Kristen who can be seen flying around the gym thanks to her new propeller hair-do! Good times!

The deadlift is a bit more than just “bending over and picking up a bar.” I like to tell trainees that the hips and shoulders should “break” synchronously. Meaning there should be a synergistic dance or interplay between the hips and shoulders. If the hips break first or come up too fast in relation to the upper body, we just need to slow things down a tad and get more tension.
Lack of tension = an energy leak, and that’s the last thing you want when trying to pull heavy things off the ground.

How does one obtain such a innovative hair style?? I want a hair fan!!
Great articles George. I will be feeding the non “P” wolf today..I promise!!! 🙂 🙂
“As a side effect, you won’t be such a bitter douche anymore.”
My favorite sentence from the article. One should always strive to not be a douche. 🙂
You ladies make me laugh, but I refuse to add that smiley face to my comments!
I did not expect you to say that Ali hahahaha
That helicopter hair was a fight or flight response to those box jumps…….highly evolved skill, especially useful during my second WOD 🙂
