I know the gym is on the verge of blowing up, but have know fear. It will be keep small and have a certain in your face, let's get it on attitude.

Back To Basics

First, let me apologize for the lack of blogging here recently. Could make excuses, but just plainly I've been lazy. Just had to get that out of the way. So two weeks ago a crew of Central coaches traveled to Dirty Jersey to train with the one and only Zach Evan-Esh. Zach is one cool dude even for a Yankee! He is the owner of Underground Strength and it is bad ass. He coaches junior high to college athletes and has them working like machines. I got to watch his athletes train and it is not stop movement from the word go! I learned much and have been implementing much of what I learned into my own training. If you were to walk in to Zach's gym you would think, this isn't crossfit. I want to break it to many of you that there are other ways to train yourselves besides just straight crossfit. There was old school dumbbells, kettle bells, ropes, prowlers and sleds and we used them all. It was a blast! Oh, and there were no bumper plates, go figure. In a word many of you have been hearing lately it was SIC! Look for it to be implemented in a new gym many of have also been hearing about soon!

Making Gains

(125 kilo clean, new PR)

This past weekend Hyde Park Gym had a clean contest and tire flipping contest. It was an absolute blast testing myself against other crossfiters and people that do nothing but Olympic strength training. I set a PR for cleans at 125 kilos (275.5lbs) and flipped the 630lbs tractor tire 3 times. First time to flip a tire, so I wasn't too disappointed. I will say this, Olympic weightlifting has got to be my favorite type of lifting to do and has got to be one of my favorite things to coach. I just wish I would have found it when I was twenty years old.
Many of you may or may not know I am doing three on one Olympic weightlifting and strength specific training once a week for eight week sessions. The next session will begin in four weeks.
