Time to Rebuild

It's a time for change at Darwin Barbell Club, we've had some non lifting related injuries and some injuries that were probably indirectly related to lifting (mainly NOT stretching and losing mobility).

So it's time to refocus and get back to competing and kicking ass.



I for one messed my back up by not properly stretching and getting super tight in the groin/ IT band area and as a result I could not lift at the Relentless Weightinglifting Meet this past weekend and that pissed me off.

As of late most of use here at the FOB have been doing the Wendler 5/3/1 program and I will also continue with it but I will be taking a different approach to training that I also got from Jim Wendler:

(Rehab Program)

* Lifting: 2 days/week (5/3/1 Squat/Bench  and DL/Press) 

* Hard conditioning (this includes hill sprints, strongman and sled work): 2 days/week

*Intensive stretching/mobility sessions: 2 days/week

Are you Juicing????

So the question is are you juicing? I have been for about 3 weeks straight, 20oz every day and I love it.

What are you juicing? As Fabio said "Kale is a staple"

I'm a big fan of Kale, Carrots, Peppers, Apples, Oranges and strawberries............
