John is hosting a fireworks party. Click for details. If you don’t have Facebook, we will give you details at the gym.
If you have Facebook ‘da facefinder’, we have a members only group where you can trade war story’s, articles, party plans, motivational get jacked up videos, and more. To get added, add someone from the gym as a “friend” and ask them to invite you into the group. Sammi loves friend requests. Just saying.
Here’s a video of Caleb demonstrating how to be really strong at bad lifting…

This video goes more into keeping the midline stable. It applies greatly to Thursday’s deadlifts. Get tight!

Active Recovery
1) 25-40 minutes of aerobic recovery (row, jog, swim, cycle, hike, play a sport, etc.)
NOTE: The activity selected must be restorative for you. It can also be an opportunity to work on a skill, but the effort expended should leave you feeling energized at the end of the session, not depleted. I would also always prefer to see active recovery done as early as possible on the active recovery days. It’s an opportunity to start some blood flowing and aid your recovery.

2B) 2-3 Lower Body Mobility Drills for 10-12 minutes each
