Workout of the Day:
“The Bear”
Perform one of each of the following:

  • Power Clean
  • Front Squat
  • Push Press
  • Back Squat
  • Push Press

Complete the series of movements seven times per round, and complete a total of five rounds.  Once you begin a round, the weight cannot rest on the floor until the round is completed.  Rest 3-5 minutes between rounds.  The goal is not to complete the workout in a set amount of time, but rather to complete it with the heaviest weight possible.

Announcing the Self-Myofascial Release Clinic – Coming to Invictus on January 30-31
(Editor’s Note – I am extremely excited to be hosting Jeff Alexander and his SMR clinic.  The coaches at Invictus are huge fans of foam rollers and lacrosse balls as means of helping you recover between workouts and improving muscle tissue quality.  Jeff is the best around at teaching how to effectively utilize these tools.  I hope many of you will sign up soon.  Just click the link below.)

Does your neck hurt?  What about your shoulder, back, or knees?

Come learn what is possible through self-care. We will cover how to work your body from head to toe, delve deeply into the muscles that contribute to proper joint function and which ones limit proper function when they lock up. If your issue is muscle related, you’ll learn techniques that can help. You will also learn how to cue others for proper placement and body position, as well as when it is time to call a licensed therapist.

All participants receive written instructions in a 158-page course workbook, an SMR tool kit that includes the Footballer, 2 Massage Balls, the Baller Block, Quadballer and the revolutionary GRID, from Trigger Point Performance, along with special discounts on Trigger Point Performance products
