    TOP REASONS NOT TO LIFT WEIGHTS

    TOP REASONS NOT TO LIFT WEIGHTS

    THERE IS A LOT OF BANTER about weight training.  We should do it in the off-season, shy away from in the race season.  Frankly...

    ... I couldn't disagree more.

    Weight training is for those who want:

    • stronger bones
    • to build muscle
    • put out more power
    • improved core strength
    • better grip strength

    Who want's that?

    Year round?

    Oh,
    well,
    me.

    You?

    Top 3 exercises we should all be doing?

    • Pull Ups or bent rows to build up strength for pull ups
    • Push Ups
    • Squats - I like Bulgarian Split Squats

    Takes just a few minutes to do a set.

    Very little equipment needed: pull up bar, some dumbbells...

    ... or skip the minor investment.

    • have weak bones
    • look like a T-Rex
    • less power
    • weaker core
    • pathetic grip

    It's your body...

    ... and I'm just a dude, not a doctor!

    Manifesto

    Pretty good “for me", is not good enough.

    Only knowing there was nothing left to do will satisfy.

    I demand all the talents God has given me be searched, activated and deployed.

    Giving anything less than everything, is failure.

    I define my wins not by others, or trophies, but by my soul’s golden standard.

    I’m in pursuit of impossible.
