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?

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!

Love this idea! Let’s start healthy habits NOW before the chaos of school sets in🙌

August 1st! This is a great month to make healthy breakfasts a priority and create good habits before kids go back to school. It can be harder to control what they eat at school and grab for snacks, but starting the day off right will help the whole family feel better and more satisfied throughout the day.

When kids (and adults) eat too much sugar and have things like juice, pancakes with syrup, toast with jelly or cereal for breakfast, blood sugar levels quickly rise and fall. This causes hunger, irritability and a craving for more sweets -- kicking off a blood sugar roller coaster.

Make a commitment this month to create a habit of healthy breakfasts.

Feeling when you survive the final week of the strength cycle and get to deload next week🙌

But for real- your coaches want to know what personal bests you got this week!
3 rep Deadlift?
Heavy bench?
First hand stand hold?
3 rep push press?

We want to celebrate with you!!

“Hey Coach Sarah, go do a strict ring muscle up…”

First attempt.

The beautiful thing, she didn’t think about it. She didn’t even have time to think, “I don’t know if I can” or “what if I can’t”…

Find yourself a place that can provide the opportunity to things you didn’t think were possible💫

Smiling. You know why?
Because they just got done lifting heavy
A$$ weights. That’s why. Lifting weights is linked to:
💪 increased strength
😍 confidence
🔥🧈 burning fat
🦴 increased bone density
🧠 increased cognitive function
….the list goes on

We smile a lot here at Big North😏

Check out this mason (picture 1). 7 years ago that mason decided to step into a gym. He didn’t change into the ravishing tooth fairy over night (picture 2).

He first committed to 3 days a week of fitness. Once he was consistent with that, he added additional days of movement.

The most recent stages have come with more hard work and sacrifice.

Nutrition.

Being aware of HOW he fuels his body. Knowing what foods are causing inflammation or discomfort etc. For most people, THIS is the hardest part. It is also the most effective in how to create change in your body.

It helps when you have a good crew to support you. (Picture 3)

Shout out to Coach for stepping in the gym and never turning back🙌💪

GOOD LUCK to our athletes and competing at today!💪
