• Quite possibly the best Friday night finisher ever... • DPipes was done with all of the day’s work, so I loaded up the new ez curl bar with a modest amount of wait and said “let’s go.” • No programming, no sets or reps, no weight changes - just you go, I go - as many reps as you can per round - full range - no stopping - time under tension. • @hebham saw what was up and started hurrying his final sets so he could jump in on it. • 3 guys doing curls - the only rest was waiting for the bar - alternating grips, pushing it out until there was nothing left. • We squat, press, deadlift, and move all kinds of heavy shit in all kinds of ways. • But if you don’t think a bout of smashing arms is an epic good time, you may need to rethink some of your choices... • #barbaricrites #redemption #redemptionstrength #club #oldschool #strength #conditioning #gym #strongman #fitness #highperformance #training #builttolast #reclaimlife #robbinsville #nj (at Redemption) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwLS1imH3f8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jw4qjtxbnxed

• Solid day of training • Got my bench back up to 185 - my max from almost a year ago. This is not impressive by any means, but bench is something I’ve always struggled with, and shoulder and rib issues have kept the numbers at bay for months. • Video 1 is a rough 180 from January • Video 2 is a much smoother 185 from this afternoon. • Not by any means impressive, but progress is progress, and it’s not just about the numbers, but the quality of the movement. • Feels good to be getting back in the game - even if the pace is slower than desired. • #barbaricrites #redemption #redemptionstrength #club #oldschool #strength #conditioning #gym #strongman #fitness #highperformance #training #builttolast #reclaimlife #robbinsville #nj (at Redemption) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIfR2gHoie/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=528odmw0nf7f

• Squat - 335 • Up 5lbs from 2 weeks ago • @barbaricrites WAR has had me pushing myself into new territory, but the ability to push myself this far has been built on steady, consistent, and patient work on the basics. • It’s important to remember that the big numbers come from the appropriate amount and application of the little work that supports it. • Consistency with the basics wins again... • #barbaricrites #redemption #redemptionstrength #club #oldschool #strength #conditioning #gym #strongman #fitness #highperformance #training #builttolast #reclaimlife #robbinsville #nj (at Redemption) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFnTH3gdk5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l353gtzw8awz

• The ladies crushed it tonight • @getsmithywithit and @amy.lit hitting 180 on the squat and blasting through 5 sets of a strongman/kettlebell metcon • #redemption #redemptionstrength #club #oldschool #strength #conditioning #gym #strongman #fitness #highperformance #training #builttolast #reclaimlife #robbinsville #nj https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvu3_B9nEdX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c516npocjnwk

• Lessons from the training floor... • Today was a less than optimal deadlift day. • Everything set felt heavier than normal and the bar speed was slower than usual. • This was my first time at my top weight - 435. • I failed to lock it out. (vid 1) • The whole focus of this day was to hit 435, though, and there was no way I was letting it beat me. • Now that I knew what it felt like, and what was lacking, I knew what to focus on. • I regrouped, focused on the tension and the drive, and locked it out - fixing some of the issues I’ve been dealing with recently on the top sets. (vid 2) • Dedication, Determination, and Focus win the day. • 435 - new 1RM, new frontiers... • #redemption #redemptionstrength #club #oldschool #strength #conditioning #gym #strongman #fitness #highperformance #training #builttolast #reclaimlife #robbinsville #nj (at Redemption) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvm0YHXn2Cg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11qn7rkd5k1tl

• End of session strength/power metcon • Low reps with heavy weight • Big movements requiring total body engagement • Low rest time allowing just enough, but not complete recovery • Good times • #redemption #redemptionstrength #club #oldschool #strength #conditioning #gym #strongman #fitness #highperformance #training #builttolast #reclaimlife #robbinsville #nj (at Redemption) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvjQt38HBsU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v939ao421jse
