Hey check out this killer vintage birthday present from member & mom

For those who don’t know: Eleiko originally manufactured waffle irons which ultimately led to the development of their now globally-renowned Swedish weightlifting bars, which we exclusively use at Kingfisher.

Heck of a gift shipped all the way from Sweden to South Carolina, USA!

A brand new 2023 meta study found that lifting weights makes you smarter 🧠

Weightlifting improved all areas of cognitive function, two areas in particular: “an acute bout of resistance exercise improves attention and processing speed.” Additionally it was found to improve mental fatigue.

Progress picture time!!

I am so proud to say that since the last time Hannah forgot her water bottle, I’ve gone from 101oz all the way down to 12! Even a lot of that 12 is just water weight!

This transformation would be impossible without Coach Stephen, who has always told me put my working cap on, go all out, and never leave anything on the table (or floor)!

Thank you & for all the inspiration, and I can’t wait to see what adventures 2024 brings! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

A 2010 study using a random controlled trial demonstrated that sleeping 5 hours per night instead of 7.5 or more reduced fat loss & increased muscle loss by as much as 50% 🫢

In other words: sleep 7.5 hours per night, or you’re actively undoing some of the work you’re putting into your fitness & nutrition

Not always easy, but it is simple.

Influencer or not, consider filming your lifts. From the University of Rochester Medical Center:

“A training log can help you get more from your workout. It will help you organize and save information about your exercise so you can work toward a specific goal.“

What to review? Among other things, URMC suggests:

-Time
-Tempo
-Intensity
-Technique
-Milestones & Personal Bests

Awkward? Possibly. Beneficial? Yup!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Fitmas 🎄🏋️

✋🏻 easy easy easy steps to maintain your strength training over Thanksgiving:

-Bodyweight exercises during travel (ex: air squats)
-Dynamic stretching
-Quality carb intake (this one’s easy)
-Commit to one short, quick workout
-Spend your quality family time walking outdoors

A 2011 study showed that even low amounts of activity can preserve strength training gains for up to 2-3 weeks, and a 2012 study showed active stretching during breaks will increase blood flow & maintain joint elasticity.

So enjoy your time off while also knowing just a tiny amount of work will go a long way towards preserving your muscle!

Happy thanksgiving 🦃 from the Kingfisher crew .jenk.pursell .jerdan

Abduction & adduction are largely forgotten areas of fitness. But not at Kingfisher.

Adductors & abductors provide stability for daily motion and support for explosive movements. To ignore them is to invite injury, and to work them is to invite progress (especially squat motions).

We don’t skip the details. Come get strong with us
