From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SENIORS. Without you, my job doesn’t exist. Without you, I don’t get to do what I love every day. Without you, we don’t stack 1%’s in and out of the weight room. Without you, the underclassmen will fail to see the value of the offseason grind.

This class’s leadership will NOT be forgotten. Thanks to all of you for helping to . Can’t wait to celebrate you tomorrow night!

Alright. Exciting projections for our kiddos in life fit.

If you’re wondering how we got to these numbers, the students, on their last set of their workout, went to failure on squat bench and pull up. All used great effort when they attempted this.

I put it into the following formula to predict a 1 rep max. When kids get outside of 5-6 reps, the formula tends to over predict how high they can go on numbers.

Formula: (W*R*.03)+W

Thanks for your hard work kids. LETS GO!

Do the things you like.

I felt like pulling sumo today, so I did. No debates, no “deadlifts are bad for you” speeches. I enjoy it, so I trained it. You can do the same.

Sometimes it’s really that simple.

I will be opening the weight room from 11-12 am on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I will also open it on Friday from 1-2.

If you are not on SB and interested, please swing in to get a lift! I will have a lift posted on the screen, but if kids want to do their own thing (safely) that’s fine too.

BREAKING NEWS: Blake Thelen seen running 20.2 mph in a 20 mph speed limit! He was our fastest runner of the day at a 20.2 mph for 10 yds.

If you don’t know, a flying 10 uses a 20‑yard buildup to get to top speed. After that, we time the next 10 yards and convert that split into miles per hour. It’s a great test of top end speed.
