Triple Threat

Today's Article: Rationalizing the Swing: Why the American Swing Is Wrong

- Great article, but its up to you how you feel about the KB swing. If you have shoulder problems, why go overhead with it and put yourself in that position? If you plan on competing, obviously that is the movement standard that needs to be followed so keep that in mind. Either way, it's a good read.

- This is a deload week for the core lifts of our programming. Follow it as perscribed as we will be adding 5 # to all upper body lifts starting next week, and 10# to all lower body lifts. This week is meant to give your joints a break and focus on form over weight.

- "While it may seem counter-intuitive to take weight off the bar when the goal is to add weight to it, starting lighter allows you more room to progress forward. This is a very hard pill to swallow for most lifters. They want to start heavy and they want to start now. This is nothing more than ego, and nothing will destroy a lifter faster, or for longer, than ego." - Jim Wendler
