Thankful to @PfISDAthletics for the opportunity to present during our coaches PD. Appreciate those who attended. Getting the chance to share about S&C and helping others get better are definitely important to me. #gymr #hwpo
Love it!!!! Have no doubt she crushed it!!!!
@missyMmcbeth dropping some 💎’s on me this morning. Saw this snapshot and thought of @MonteSparkman famous words “Don’t Burn the Steak”….. Great stuff about S&C from a female perspective!
Hey @grok can you make a list of the top 10 most famous people to visit my profile? doesn’t need to be a mutual, don’t tag them, just say who it was.
Sounds like Bench, Squat, and Deadlift!!
Just FYI, most of the bodybuilding, fitness influencer content on here is garbage. You need to do basic exercises two to three times a week. Do full body workouts. Do a pushing exercise, a pulling exercise some type of squat and some type of posterior chain.
As an “experienced” lifter, @underthebar is on to something with using 25lbs instead of 45’a during warm ups. They have become my new favorite plate to use. More sets, smaller jumps. Also, hard to look and tell what is on the bar. So just add it up at the end.
Slow cook ‘em. Keep this in mind as we approach Fall sports.

Squats. PR Ssb lift, and some goodmornings. Nice to be able to lift in the building. Been a while.
“We don’t lift weights. We have a training system.” There’s a difference. You can’t plug and play training. Just like you can’t plug and play an offense.

Lived in FTW almost 15 years. Came down to the stockyards with Jackie and walked upon my first cattle drive. Felt like a tourist!!! #TEXAS

Don’t blindly trust technology because it’s technology. It should be a supplement, a guide, if you will. Question your data, question your results. Seek understanding. That’s the fun part of collecting data. Be an investigator, take a deep dive and see what you find.
