Chalk Performance Training

Are you ready to elevate your deadlifting game and lift heavier than ever before?

The secret lies in the power of the Valsalva maneuver – a breathing technique that can supercharge your strength and stability during deadlifts.

Here's how it works: Before you start the lift, take a deep breath, filling your abdomen with air, and hold it tightly.

This increases intra-abdominal pressure, providing a solid core foundation and spinal support.

As a result, you'll be able to generate more force and conquer those heavier weights with ease!

But that's not all.

To maximize your deadlift potential, it's crucial to nail the optimal body position:

1️⃣ Foot Placement: Position your feet shoulder-width apart, allowing for a stable base of support. Point your toes slightly outward to engage your glutes and activate your posterior chain.

2️⃣ Hand Placement: Grab the barbell just outside your legs, ensuring your arms are fully extended. Opt for an overhand grip or mix it up with a mixed grip (one hand overhand, one underhand) for enhanced grip strength.

3️⃣ Body Alignment: Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and maintain a neutral spine throughout the lift. Engage your core muscles by bracing them as if preparing for a punch. This ensures proper spinal alignment and reduces the risk of injury.

Kettlebell swings vs. Running a 6-minute mile 👀
⠀
Can't run or just dislike it? No problem!

According to a study by the American Council on Exercise, an intense kettlebell swing session can burn up to 20 calories a MINUTE—that's like running a mile in 6 minutes, folks!
⠀
But it's not just a calorie incinerator; it's also a master muscle builder, sculpting your body from shoulders to hamstrings.

And let's not forget, it's like the elixir of youth for your joints and posture.
⠀
So the next time you’re not feeling that run, consider grabbing a kettlebell and getting good ole fashion swings in!

Our strength and conditioning, sweat, and minimal equipment programs have plenty of kettlebell swings in them to keep you guys busy when you need some ideas 💡

Another successful seminar in Birmingham, Michigan today!

Teaching people the Chalk Performance training method and showing them step by step how to get the most out of every single training session.

It’s mind blowing to find out what actually constitutes as success in the gym.

Sometimes a lot more than you think is actually required.

And sometimes… It’s SIGNIFICANTLY less than you think.

The biggest take home for everyone is always to answer these 2 questions:

1. What am I training for?
2. Is what I’m doing getting me closer to that goal?

Once you KNOW you’re training with purpose…

You’ll never search for motivation ever again.

Hey Team CHALK,

Can we just pause for a sec to recognize the absolute game-changing force we've become? What started as a tiny, rebellious gym in Orange County back in 2014 has snowballed into a movement that's resonating across the globe. And let me tell you, it's not by accident—it's by design.

See, CHALK isn't just about lifting weights or burning calories; it's about training with a purpose. We're not interested in exercise for exercise's sake. Nah, we're in the business of performance training. No fluff, no gimmicks—just straight-up, science-backed programs that squeeze every drop of potential out of your sweat equity.

But let's get real: the heart of CHALK isn't our workouts. It's you, our community. Each one of you is like a fiber in a muscle, making the entire thing stronger. We share a collective vision to elevate humanity's fitness IQ. Why? Because 7 out of 10 people are overweight, and a jaw-dropping 9 out of 10 walk into a gym looking like a deer in the headlights.

Look, I never thought CHALK would become this mammoth wave of impact, but here we are, and we've got work to do. Work that's bigger than any one of us, but not too big for all of us.

So, from the depths of my gym-lovin', performance-chasin' heart—thank you. Thank you for making CHALK not just a brand, but a global force for good. We've turned the page on our humble beginnings, but the next chapter? Man, I can't wait to write it with each and every one of you.

Onward and upward. Let's do this.

Get ready to transform your deadlift TODAY with three actionable tips, and learn why this lift is non-negotiable for your goals. 🏋️‍♂️

🛠️ Tip #1: Pre-Activation Drills
Before you even touch the bar, fire up those glutes with a set of glute bridges. According to the Journal of Sports Science, this simple move can make each rep more effective.

🛠️ Tip #2: Switch Grip or Straps
Ditch the double overhand grip. Use a switch grip—one palm facing you, the other facing away. Or grab lifting straps. Say goodbye to grip fatigue, and hello to new PRs.

🛠️ Tip #3: Eccentric Control
Make the barbell your puppet. Lower it for a 3-4 second count. A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology proves this boosts muscle tension and strength.

🎯 Why Deadlift?

1️⃣ Look Good Naked: Multiple muscle groups are activated, boosting calorie burn and muscle definition.

2️⃣ Be Unbreakable: Research in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning links deadlifting to stronger cores and fewer back issues.

3️⃣ Level Up Athleticism: A study in the Journal of Sports Medicine shows deadlifts improve your vertical jump and sprint speed.

Still think you can skip deadlift day? Think again. Let's lift those numbers and smash those goals. 🚀

Grab a partner and try todays team workout (courtesy of the strength and conditioning program ) 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

In Teams of 2:

Death By Power Cleans + 300/225 Cal Assault Bike

Partner 1:
300/225 Cal Assault Bike

Partner 2:
(0-1min.)
2 Power Cleans
(1-2min.)
3 Power Cleans
(2-3min.)
4 Power Cleans
.. And so on...

Partner 1 starts on the bike and accumulates as many calories as possible - while Partner 2 performs 2 Power Cleans - after 60 seconds, partners switch.

Partner 1 goes for 3 Power Cleans while Partner 2 rides the bike.

Add 1 Power Clean per minute until you can not finish the given reps anymore or you reach the 300/225 Calories.⁠

If for any reason you finish before 20min.... Perform as many deadlifts as possible until the 20min. Mark.

RX+ 155/105
RX++ 185/135

If you still don't get understand... It's essentially an EMOM, but you're both working at the same time. Eventually, the cleans will get MUCH harder and both of you will be working extremely hard to finish. Try not to let the clock get you! Since you must finish the cleans within the minute!
