Left a pair of new big north sweats at the gym last Saturday and now I can’t find them. 🙃

They are size large and have the tags removed. If anyone found them, let me know. Thank you!
Did anyone pick up a small orange Yeti water bottle last week?
The cooler is stocked again!! I’ll do my best to never let it run out of burritos🤣🤣 🌯you all are great! Thank you for your support! Let me know what you guys think... requests, opinions... all of it, feedback is awesome. Also, I put a sheet out today to help Carey and I. This will help us tremendously... If you grab something do us a quick favor and write it down! Thanks again!!☺️💕
Missing my barbell fam this AM 💜
Finished up a great conversation with an old friend, Chad Volant.

He’s the owner of Big North Barbell Strength and Conditioning and doing great work in the health and wellness space as a fitness professional.

He’s extremely smart and entertaining to listen to!

Looking forward to dropping this episode on The Painful Pursuit podcast in the next couple weeks!

Do we max out lifts regularly? Nope.

Do we gain strength regularly. Yes, yes we do.

This board is a celebration of hard work and commitment to getting better. Whether it was a 3 rep PR, 2 rep PR or a heavy single with great form, we celebrate!

I was beyond impressed with the great movement inside the gym today💪
Great job everyone!

Inversion.

When is the last time you went upside down?
Our bitty’s got to practice last night. Our regular classes even our boomers got to practice yesterday too!

Benefits include:
✅increased oxygen and blood flow to the brain, lungs and heart
✅increased balance and core strength
✅improved focus and balance

We try to get upside down weekly for all of these benefits.

We are just finishing up our eight weeks cycle with our Big North Boomers. The inbody scans are showing their hard work is paying off! Here are a few photos of members that added muscle while losing body weight and body fat. This is just incredible! To continue to make progress every nine weeks is extremely hard to do. Cheers to all of you hard-working boomers!

One that is very special to me is our new buddy Dan (first photo). Dan was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer in March of 21. He is now cancer free but still on testosterone suppressants. Dan has made his health a priority and was doing strength training in Grand Rapids twice a week. He joined us 5 weeks ago.

In the 5 weeks he has been with us, he has gained 5 pounds. Most importantly, he has added SIX pounds of lean mass and dropped 3% body fat. This is just incredible! Even with the odds stacked against him, he has worked hard and is still making progress.

Our next 8 week strength cycle is starting Tuesday, if you know someone that wants to make their health a priority, send them our way!

Thank you Megan for coming to shoot our photos today!! 💗

This crew showed up to kick butt today! Big North Barbell Strength and Conditioning hosted the Murph today. In case you're unfamiliar, “Murph” is a classic CrossFit workout known as a Hero WOD. Hero WOD's are made by CrossFit to honor the men and women that have fallen in the line of duty. This one is specifically to honor Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on June 28th, 2005. It includes a one-mile run, and then a hundred pull-ups, 200 pushups, 300 squats and finish it off with a one-mile run. That's no joke.

💗Happy Mother’s Day to all our strong mama’s and grandmama’s and GREAT grandmama’s 💗

💗💗💗

Solid 6 months of consistency. I wish I found 20 years ago but It is what it is. It’s not easy but that’s because easy doesn’t change you. And it just goes to prove that regardless of your age you can start over. If you let go of comparison, do it at your own pace while being consistent in it, you will find a groove. You will find the change you seek. Grind now and shine later. God’s glory always 💪😤

P.S. If I would stop eating M&Ms like their protein pellets I might be able to get rid of this lint trap I call a bellybutton and see my abs again 🤷🏻‍♂️😂
