Sleep is one of the most underrated tools to improve performance and recovery. It is so important that early man still slept even though they did not have the secure environment of houses, locks, and security systems. Early man was low on the food chain more prey than predator, and yet from sundown to sunup […]

We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

Learning the form for the presses. I finished with 135×5 today and it felt easier than the 95 that I started with. Also I was 2 mm from getting my first muscle up. Next monday is muscle up monday.

Today’s endurance challenge a success! 2 laps at memorial=5.8 miles! New pr. 47 mins. Surprisingly it was calf cramps and chaffing that hurt, not the wind. Any advice on preventing chaffing or cramps are welcome! Good feeling!

I think the product Steph was talking about is Body Glide. Finish Strong has it or any running store.

Nice work Jake! Excellent time.
PP: 85-95-105-115 (push jerked it first set-so did 5 correctly)-125
Realllllllly tried hard on my muscle up attempts, but no cigar. I’d say I’m almost there, about 3/4 of a muscle up :).
Almost only counts in hand grenades and horse shoes though. Isn’t that how the saying goes?

Jake- I really like this anti-chafe glide gel a friend told me about before my last race. Can’t remember the brand, but it looks like a small, silver deoderant tube and you can find it at any sports store.
