Monkey Bar Monday – Exploring Bar Hangs For Time [Video]
There's a very cool (and very recommended) progression in Convict Conditioning Vol 2 all about hanging from one or two arms (along with towel hangs which are amazingly challenging) to develop grip strength, and I've been doing bar hangs at home about every other day usually for a minute or more. Current PR is 1 minute 30 seconds, and while I could have gone a little longer, I … [Read more...] about Monkey Bar Monday – Exploring Bar Hangs For Time [Video]
Monkey Bar Monday and Outdoor Flow State Fun with Slacklining
Happy #MonkeyBarMonday everyone! For some of you who have seen the preview on Instagram, here's the whole thing... including the "spiders" obstacle. While I am not in the least bit afraid of spiders (and at one point had about seven pet tarantulas) I am not about to just shove my hand through a spiderweb with the spider sitting in it looking right at me. … [Read more...] about Monkey Bar Monday and Outdoor Flow State Fun with Slacklining
The Weekend Food Roll… Small Household Food Strategy Example
First off, in case it is not completely obvious, I really enjoy and am grateful for what I get to eat. I am also very grateful to have as few compromises as possible to deal with when buying, selecting, and preparing meals. At this point, it is difficult for me to understand why someone would complain about "having to eat healthy" or being upset about not eating fast food or … [Read more...] about The Weekend Food Roll… Small Household Food Strategy Example
New Podcast! Adrienne and Co-Host Dr. Chad Eldridge Discuss Two VERY Cool Recent Events! Get the Scoop!

A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!
It's been an interesting weekend... getting a lot done, maybe a little too much because as the sun started to go down today I found myself wanting to go outside and play for lack of a better term. Some may refer to this as a "workout" but considering what I did and how fun it was I think it was more like a slightly more grown up version of playing in the yard. Unfortunately, … [Read more...] about A Short But Fun Underground Strength Inspired Exercise Break… After an Adventure!

An Experimental Workbook and Interesting Things to Think About
Frankly over the past couple months I have been neglecting one of my own weekly "meetings" known as Strategy Wednesday. One thing after another, maybe a conference call, or more likely a case of getting too psyched about finishing a task on or before the self-imposed deadline for it caused Strategy Wednesday to fall by the wayside. This was not a good thing, but still I kept … [Read more...] about An Experimental Workbook and Interesting Things to Think About
