You can get brutally strong off of just a few working sets with heavy loads.

The volume can be unbelievable low if you train frequently enough.

There’s no reason Athletes should walk out of workouts absolutely crushed… because optimal training requires frequent exposure.

Safe to say my time as King of the Court may be running low. 5 year old is already coming after his old man.

I’m sorry, but getting stronger involves some “standing around”.

[Brian Adams @21BAdams]

Get a Principal and coworkers who bring the juice when called upon. Kids notice these things!

When you get staff members involved in Sprint Madness, there’s usually a lot of trash talk and laughs. Results of the staff head-to-head portion of the bracket:

🥇Mr. Hanna
🥈Principal Johnson
🐢Mr. Ellison

Thank you to these three for bringing some energy (and excuses)!

Time to ramp things up!

This competition has been really good for us, especially at getting our kids to finish the school year with intent. Brings some fun to the “grinding” days that happen from spring break to the end of school.
