Welcome to CAP's SHS Strongman Training

If you want to come down and flip tires with the "old man"... do so at your own risk, I am not your mommies (even if I am prettier than some of them). If I tell you to scram--do so. We all help each other and WE ALL CLEAN UP. Bring water and an indomitable will. Check the blog 1 hour before you come down if there is foul weather or just in case--stuff happens. Subscribe by email or blog-reader to get updates (so I don't get 50 texts everyday). And, P.S. Meditate...It is the true Strongman Training.

The Greatest Enemy of My Training

The greatest enemy of my training, throughout my many years and years...and years of training, has not been the heavy weightloads or the lifting and running until I drop or puke...It has been the sitting -- The lounging or sitting at my job. My nemesis is the compression of my spine and tailbone, not from squatting 500 lb., but the couch ass from hours of gaming or sitting at my computer or sitting at work or getting the flu and being inert. 9/10ths of my back injuries have come from being stationary and then stretching or lifting 500 lb. not the lift but the stop start. I'm a bit of a video game junky (like calling John Belushi a recreational drug user). And that mixed with the hours I spend in a chair teaching, not good. And this is despite my walking 2 miles (at least a day at the beach with my wife and all the lifting, kayaking, swimming what have you. A man of extremes, yes I am. Always lacking a middle ground. As I get older, I truly have to take more breaks from my sitting and move around, not let my back crunch into powder as I sit and sit and sit, just waiting to spring up and tip over a Prius for fun. (My hernia even came from a poorly designed peice of equiptment but that injury followed hurting my back deadlifting after sitting and sitting following the flu). My vision too is suffering the same over use at the computer. So, to fight back against this toughest of opponents, Sloth, small incremental breaks in my inert states must be taken. Must, because there are trucks to pull and Atlas Stones to be lifted, which I can't do with a nagging back injury. Get after it ALL THE TIME!
