The Perfect Pull Sports Performance

Simple and effective. Decided to break out the weight vest today. I haven’t trained with it in a long time. My workout originally have box jump overs programmed, but I don’t have a plyo box available in my “home gym”. Had to make do with weighted kneeling jumps. And instead of taking off the vest for the sandbag hang power cleans, decided to keep it on. Made for a very 🌶 🏋️‍♂️.

Working out in this heat and humidity reminded me of our tune at @crossfitundisclosed Those we’re fun time.

Simple tools. Simple program. Devastating results.

I’ve always said that mindset is key. Using terms like “can’t” truly means “won’t”. Remove these terms from your vocabulary so you can take the first step at changing your mindset into realizing you have a choice in doing and accomplishing anything.

Aerobic Capacity Course - Developing Different Gears

I'm coaching an Endurance Program at CF South Arlington this summer for those that are interested. Details in the link below.

Building aerobic capacity is a goal of the CFSA Running Program. It is designed to help develop different “gears” for you to tackle Endurance AND CrossFit workouts. Whether it’s repeat 400s, 1 mile time trial or a 20 minute metcon, the Running Program will give you the tools to identify your maximum sustainable pace. Sign up for the 8-week program to learn more:

VICE News Tonight

Currently developing a "boot camp" program at CrossFit South Arlington to help prepare soldiers for the Army Combat Fitness Test. Here's a preview of what's expected in the new test.

For the first time in nearly 40 years, the United States Army is changing how it measures the physical fitness of its soldiers.

This is what is takes to pass the new Army Combat Fitness Test.

Lifting all the weights today and using this awesome sling bag from my friends @starsandbarswlc and @svg831 to carry all my lifting paraphernalia while I’m on travel.

The next cycle of Iron Strong is here!

If you're in the Arlington area and want to move some iron.

mailchi.mp Metal. Chalk. Muscle. Sweat. A focused mind determined to move iron. A relentless desire to not back down from any physical challenge.

Even on a treadmill you can use the Pose Method to run efficiently. You should always use the incline to set your “fall” angle. This is also a great way for pace and cadence practice.

Body weight is on the ball of the foot. Knees stay bent on landing and at the pull...never a straight leg. Pulling foot up into pose. Relaxed ankle throughout.

You don’t need much equipment to get a good workout. Sure it’s great to have a gym with all the bells and whistles, but it really just boils down to getting work done regardless of the setting. No excuses, just an attitude of wanting to stay fit. It’s simple, but effective.

Thanks @streetparking for the workout inspiration of kettlebell swings and step ups. And thanks Rogue for the awesome kettlebell.

Doing treadmill intervals at 5,312ft above sea level. This is one way to develop aerobic capacity. Although a treadmill isn’t the ideal method to work on my #posemethodrunning it does allow me to work pace and learning the feeling of that pace...even though I’m sucking wind at this elevation.

[CHICAGO MARATHON 2018] —————————————————-My 5th timing running the grueling distance of 26.2 and it proved to be as hard as the first. Battled through cold temps, rain, wind, and a hell of a leg cramp at mile 20. •That couldn’t stop me from a Personal Best |03:53:10|

The Deets:
🏃 Sliced 06:49 off my previous PB (Detroit in 2014) and over 17:00 from the Berlin Marathon in 2017 ✅ ——————————————————
•This race I set a goal of running a race injury free. Thankful for finding a #PoseMethod running coach (@the_perfect_pull) who quickly corrected my foot strike and then led a CrossFit Endurance based training of low-mileage, high intensity 14-week program. Injury free and setting a Personal Best gives me a lot to look forward to. Running is a skill that needs to continue to be practiced. ——————————————————
