Preacher Training Systems

A little series of my last few days. I've spent all summer getting this old frame back in order. Its been a tedious and patience filled few months, but its all coming around.
I dont move the weight I used to move. Part of that is on purpose. To preserve myself to be able to do what I love. My training these days is generally raw, with a sprinkle of gear blended in. Its been a fun journey bringing my raw game ip to speed.
Vids are an easy 500 pull. 295 x3 bench against red bands and a 562 squat in wraps. None of these were a struggle. The number 1 take away is not feeling beat up afterwards. Each one with plenty of growth potential.
I have to give a special shout out to Chad Bruce for providing the opportunity to grow a community I love and respect. Along with Jeff Shellenberger we have built a great crew and family to get strong with. Im looking forward to see how far we can take this.

A great day on Rim Road. From 260 to 87. A few side trips to Knolls Lake, Potato Lake, Generals Cabin and a few mud trenched side roads with no real destination. Mi ceballo blanco got a little dirty and crushed the trails.
FR 300 is one of the most scenic rides you will find. The whole ride is along the rim. Endless scenic views of the valley below. Straddled in the world's largest ponderosa forest. Truly God's country.
If you want to go sometime and need someone to get you there. Hit me up. Ill do it again.

Friday night happy hour. Every Friday is odd lifts. Yikes, shields, farmers, sleds. All the fun stuff. The crossover from these events to our power compound movement is beginning to show. My back is recovering faster and getting stronger. And I appreciate the support Crew. Because this s**t can be grueling.
Add in a great gym Chad Bruce with all the goodies we need. Appreciate you Chad.

Outside, all around us. In the trees. In the air. The birds flying above. The rats rustling below. The sun, the earth.
There is a world. Russling around us everyday. In peace with itself. A chaotic dance to the sounds of wind smashing through the trees and around stone walls whistling through our streets.
Yet, we never take a moment to listen to the beauty that surrounds us. All day. Every day.
Too caught up in our hustled mundane lives. Fractured attempts at finding solitude in excess. Never taking a moment to realize what already exists. The abundance of life and solitude that surrounds us every day. The simplicity of what existence on earth really means.
I grew up in simple times. When we climbed up on our roofs and gazed at the stars. Searching for a glimpse of the heavens. We ran in the streets. Laughing, screaming joyfully and playing loudly in what nature provided us. No technology to guide us. Only our connection with our surroundings. You played till the lights came on. The natural progression of time and essence guiding us through our day.
We've lost our way. Simplicity replaced by technology. Communication replaced by keypad. Each minute in front of our screen sucking away the time you could spend speaking to a person you love.
Im afraid of our future. The division is already here. The angst and hatred at a pinnacle I've never seen in 62 years on this planet. And I've experienced a lot. I've lived a full life.
My only hope is we can restore peace amongst ourselves. We are all neighbors. We are all human. We all have faults. No person is perfect. None.
If you've read this far. Please, live in peace. And be thankful for this moment.
We are not promised tomorrow.

Love. Peace. Harmony.

Been a minute since posting. Blew my back out at my last meet on squat 3. I finished it. But so was I. A few weeks of recuperation and some self love rehab and here we are.
160lbs of band tension. Which had me worried more than anything else. Band compression is a different beast.
Vid 1 is 385. Felt great. Vid 2 is 405 plus the 160 in bands. Im pretty happy with it. And the back took the pressure.
Ill stay raw for the year. Looking to do a raw comp in fall. Yes..raw.
Stay tuned. Its all uphill from here. Rebuilding and keeping my s**t together.

It takes a crew. .trex whatever the f*k Chewy
