I know, I know.

January is the busiest month in the gym business and it is pretty busy here at TPS.
I have been lax in keeping up with my posting, so here goes.

I have taken the Concept 2 out of my training entirely after I hit the 200 meter mark due to the fact that it was causing me some serious pain in the ass.By as, I mean the Glute medius.
I thought it was just form all the deep squatting that I have been doing, but it was the rower.
Last weeks training went lke this:
Monday-High Bar squat-raw
I worked up to 365 and shut it down due to the pain in the ass and then did a TON of lower body assistance and flexibility after.
Wednesday-Bench PRess.
I am changing my setup from a tucked in, heels up bencher to more of a feet flat out in front of me type. This is helpiong me to keep my butt down when pressing.
I did a bunch of triples at 225. I am also working the DiZenzo style of spreading the floor like a squat while I bench. This is new and alien to me. I usually bench more of a Milita style with the toes driving through the shoes.
I did the Safety Bar JM PRess after for tri's. and then a lot of assistance work for back.
Friday-I Front Squatted with the South Medford Lowland Gorilla. I worked up to FAST triples with 275 as per my plan.

The South Medford Lowland Gorilla in it's natural habitat.

I then did Incline Benches for triple to feel out the bicep. It felt pretty good!
Rows and shrugs next followed by Rope Curls and Face pulls and ab wheel rollouts.

I have been getting treated by Nate and Jen.
Nate does ART/Graston and Jen does massage.
They have both asked me the question: How are you walking never mind squatting?
My lower body is a mess.
My TFL, Glute Meduis and IT bands in both sides are pretty messed up.
On a side note, after my massage with Jen on Friday, I was able to get pretty deep in the hole in the squats.
I know you have heard this before, but I WILL make an effort to post more regularly.

Gotta go, we have the Women's Basic Training Seminar and Strongman Saturday and the Haycraft Muay Thai seminar all about to start at TPS right NOW.

Really, Really?

OK, so there are good Crossfits and bad Crossfits.
Crossfit Boston with Neil, is a good Crossfit.
The place in this video is a bunch of assclowns.

I applaud the Crossfitters everywhere for their work ethic and desire to be bad ass. I detest the Crosfits that do things that they are unqualified to do just to be badass.
I also hate when people post videos of their training centers with clients/athletes doing things in an unsafe and dangerous, reckless manner all while the crowd and the "trainers" are telling them how badass they are and how strong they are when they are using 50 pounds on something. Wow was that a run on sentence.
Don't know what the hell I'm talking about?
Watch this:



Hey Shitty Crossft, I am available for a seminar to teach you how to do stuff without rupturing discs and tearing labrums.
You can also call Neal at Boston Crossfit, he will show you what's up if you don't like me or my post.

TPS Seminar Update

Here is new information on the November Strength Seminar being held at a truly judgement free zone: TPS:

The November Strength Seminar with Matt Rhodes and Vincent DiZenzo has just been jacked up. We have added Chad Wesley Smith of Juggernaut fame to our roster of presenters. (Read their bios here)

Matt, Chad and Vincent are 3 of the top names in the strength field today. They are all VERY strong and they all know how to teach you how to get STRONG. This seminar will be an opportunity for you to learn to get strong through lecture, Q&A and hands on coaching from giants in the field.

If you've never been to a seminar you are missing out. How many times have you or someone you know gone to the store and bought some kind of pill or powder that promises to increase strength or melt fat off and it did nothing? I'm guessing more times than you can count, and ore dollars too.

Attending a seminar is different, at least a TPS one is. We have vetted the instructors to guarantee that you get the best knowledge available. You will LEARN by listening and by doing. This will last a lifetime. Knowledge is much more powerful that anything in a bottle. Stop wasting money and getting your hopes up searching for magic pills, get some hands on coaching by someone who knows what and how to do it and then apply what you have learned. This will help you to surpass your goals, not just attian them.

We will cover:

• Nutrition
• Recovery
• Training for your goals
• Conditioning for your goals
• Psychology
• Programming
• Raw squat training
• Organizing training weeks/cycles/blocks/years
• Selecting the best assistance/supplementary work
• Hands on coaching

This seminar is accredited for eight (8) ISSA CEU's.
If you are not ISSA certified you can present them to your agency for credit too.
All seminar registrations receive a FREE e copy of Strength and Conditioning Interrogations valued at $39.99.

Early registration price is $99.00. It goes to $150.00 October 15th. Why spend more money?
