Leona and the medicine ball
Leona never believed her butt would ever come into contact with the medicine ball during the squat.
Butt and ball pined for each other.
They were united the other day, many times over. Consistently, Leona actively pulls her hips and posterior chain below the patella. These photos do not do her justice either as they do not demonstrate the curve in her lumbar spine as she drives the hips back. Now, we work on the elbows.
Theresa - the olympic lifter
Theresa was at the grocery store showing off her mad olympic lifting skillz the other day. The clerk insisted Theresa accept her offer of assistance to carry the bags to her car. "Are you sure? These bags are very heavy." To which Theresa replied: "I may not look it but I am an olympic lifter." And with great ease Theresa swooped the heavy bags off of the counter.

BISON!
The Bison has been sacrificed.
The Bison will be butchered this weekend.
The Bison is a Magnificent Creature.
GRASS FED AND FINISHED. NO FEED LOT. HUMANELY KILLED. NO UNNECESSARY STRESS TO THE ANIMAL. LOCAL FARMERS AND A LOCAL BUTCHER.
PICTURES OF THE PASTURE WHERE THE BISON GRAZE COMING SOON.
The finished price will be at least $4.50/pound but probably a bit more.
I am taking orders now. There will be some steaks and the rest will be ground.

The Clean
Here is an instructive sequence of Tony and Rochelle doing a hang power clean during DT. Both do a great job of keeping a vertical relationship to the bar.

Kettlebell Swing
If you get tired of the two handed kb swing try it with two kettlebells. This morning Brendan and I did our workout with 2 kettlebells.
Our workout was 5 Rounds
10 double kettlebell swings I did 30lb x 2 =60lbs and Brendan did 40lb x 2 =80lb
7 deadhang(d) pull-ups
30 air squats
This is what it looks like. I found you have to work extra hard to compensate for muscular imbalances between each side of the body.
