Sunday's workout was awesome as seen in this vid. Log press coming back into our routine. Plus we started the 100 lbs. Bag slam for core strength and a little something special for Carlos. We also did some gi pull ups and some Judo.

Dima, Vlad, Carlos, Fabian and Eugene came down for the fun. Congrats to Eugene on passing a huge Wing Tsun test!

Awesome Wing Chun Demo on The Power of Relaxation!

Beautiful Aussie explanation of relaxation and force from Siu Nim Tau. Watch and understand why... so much force can be generated by.... watch and see poor Tony get his but kicked with no effort, only structure. Brilliant.

So good to be BACK!

Thursday Strongman was awesome. So good to be back (Pix coming). Carlos, Vlad, Dima, Jesus (Old School), Luigi (Old school), Gabe (Newb), and Big Paul showed up for the fun. Next Meeting is Sunday @ 10:00 am. If you are coming from NY or NJ get off the Glenbrook exit because Washington BLVD. Will be closed for the parade which makes it hard to get on the field. Hopefully WE can get on the field. Might be nuts with the holiday and such. We can always pull Paul's truck in the lot if we have to:) Right Paul....Paul...

Cap, Why Do You Do Strongman?

"Why do you do this?" everyone asks as they pass us by. Or, "What are you training for?" All the other guys and girls usually turn to me when this this question pops up. I give a myriad of one-liners: "To stay young." "For fun." "SEAL TEAM 6 training." "My doctor says it's either this or electro-schock therapy." "Just to stay in shape." "Life." I like the last one the best. It is closest to the truth. "Life." To be strong in mind and body and spirit for life. Most people have purpose when training which involves a goal or a specific sport, or weight loss, etc. Me, personally, at 44... I train in Strongman for Life. It makes me feel alive. When you pick up a 275 lbs. round hunk of concrete, tearing skin off your arms from wearing tacky to help you with the task, I have said this before... It feels like getting hit by a car and surviving. You feel so alive afterword. You are completely in that specific moment and nowhere else. A perfect Zen experience. Nothing before, nothing after, you are right there. I guess others get this by doing other various things. I also have other things which allow me this pinnacle experience; not to be too sappy but my wife gives me this when I stop and listen to her heartbeat or look deeply into her eyes. Swimming in post snowstorm ocean waters; this gets me there...a few others. I hope you can relate. If you do not have these avenues for feeling alive, in the moment, find them, or one. Meditating leads you there on a moment by moment basis... Love. And of course come down to Strongman, and don't just ask: "Why do you do this?" as you pass by -- try it.
