Sometimes a little meathead goodness in the way of Gorilla Complex to end a fun sprinting session: 8 reps each of bicep curls; upright rows; shoulder press; tricep extension & pushups. 3 rounds.

I always appreciate the endorphin boost that a good workout & propah music can give 😉

Alrighty still testing & today we hit on 1-rep clean. My PR is 185lbs & that was by no means anywhere my aim for today *lol*

I haven't consistently been practicing this lift & I could feel the inconsistencies in my ex*****on.

My focus & has for a long-time been more aggressive in my shrug & meeting the bar more fluidly. Working on consistency w/body & bar contact.

Despite feeling shaky as all get out *lol* (can see some of the displeasure on my face for some lifts) Stopped at an ugly 175lbs (3rd frame).

2nd frame lighter weight better lift. That's why we practice & keep on trucking; I'll get it w/better form & more patience soon 😉

Thnx for filming Frances!

Hey all so testing's still happening & today it was max reps front squat, women @ 75% bodyweight.

Felt good stopping @ 36 reps w/100lbs.
The vid comes in at 20-something reps. For the first few reps (not seen) think I need to work on depth & form a bit, but felt like I caught my groove in the teens *lol*

Thnx for the film assist Rachel 📹

One of the things I really appreciate about myself & like is my back. To me it feels & looks strong, it's an attribute that is important to me & its strength makes me happy.

A lot of emphasis & quotes are put onto the back. A big one is "Don't give me a lighter load, but a stronger back". I understand the sentiment, but honestly sometimes I do want a lighter load 😉

I don't believe that "I have to suffer" in order for my dreams to be achieved; I do believe in hard work, I just don't think that has to go hand in hand w/suffering to get my goals.

Not asking for agreement in this, it's just my opinion. There's a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine:
"If there is free flow, there is no pain;
If there is no free flow, there is pain."

That can be applied to a number of things. I do believe that when we are out of alignment w/our 'path', then 'ish gets difficult.

Everything seems harder & life can be downright sucky. Then yes, in that instance I wish for strength to handle my tasks.

But when things are in flow, we feel fearless, determined, and can endure most things in pursuit of our goals. We're able to persevere ... in TCM the back associates w/will power.

So this is an acknowledgment of a bodypart that I love & am thankful for. I am grateful for it's association to fluidity of flow & drive.


Thnx for the pic Kara​​ 😘

Hi All :)

More testing today: as many reps from hip to overhead in 2 mins. Women @ 65lbs 🏋🏾‍♀️

Was happy w/my 26. Had gals making 28+, something to aspire to for retesting 😉 Also for some women that weight is double or 3/4's their bodyweight & they killed it 💪🏾

Thnx for filming Brittan 📹

Hey everyone 🙃

I actually do enjoy me some ab work. It's hard & definitely hurts, but it's always a good push & yes I have me some fun 😉

This set has some toes to bar; atomic situps & toe-touches.

Alrighty so today was a bit of testing:

65% of bodyweight for females, max reps bench press. I fluctuate btwn 130 & 135lbs, today bout 130. Got a solid 30 reps @ 85lbs.

In the vid that Jordan (one of our coaches) so nicely commentated on for me 😉. You'll see me in the final round of: 6 rounds of 6 burpees & 6 25m shuttle sprints 🏃🏾‍♀️

Gadzooks I may have done it!

A video where there are no seasick pills required. Nailed It! (Pls insert applause here *lol*)

Alrighty knew it would happen ... eventually 😊 Today was a full body sequence of 5 movements, 6 rounds @ 20 secs each w/40 secs rest btwn each round. The only movement I am missing in the vid are the rounds of pushups.

There were also bookends of 400m runs w/weighted stepups. Fun session!

*ha* so earlier I'd said this upcoming vid would hopefully be a better selfie-film quality. Well ... nope *lol* But it's funny!

In this clip I am partnering w/my friend Jenn in a 5 min AMRAP of: 15 weighted stepups; 10 pushups & 10 jump lunges (total)

So we thought "Hey teamwork"! So naturally as I did my stepups Jenn held my phone in her mouth as she did her pushups. Continued to film me as she did her jump lunges & then stepups.

Yea ahhh entertaining 😂
What you can't hear is the wicked cool "I'm A Sucker For Pain" song that I'm singing & dancing to as I workout!

Alrighty I have 2 posts to get out today, a sistah's gotta make up for yesterday!

The first is a shameless shot of me at one of the many fun HEAT photo shoots we've had.

Photo cred again to my very talented Leo sistren Kara Marie​​ 😘

Look out for the second one, it'll be a vid & hopefully the selfie-film quality will be better than my previous "stellar" attempt *hehe* 😉
