After a year of rehab, patience, and recovery from a torn rotator cuff, I'm finally back to benching some serious weight. Never thought I'd be able to barbell bench press heavy weight again, but I always say, "Water cuts through rock not from it's power, but it's persistence". Pyramid Sets from 205lbs up to 275lbs 2x.

Stability Ball 1-arm Dumbbell Chest Press. This exercise recruits & engages multiple muscle systems due to the unilateral movement and the ball's lack of stability. I found this exercise extremely effective when returning from a shoulder injury since my scapulae don't like being pinned down against a bench during chest press movements, and it targets my core for stabilization even if the weight is lighter than it typically would be during a bilateral chest press.

A must read in case you didn't know about the health benefits from coconut oil.

It's difficult to determine what's healthy and what's not anymore with all the food claims out there from the mega-food companies jumping on the healthy bandwagon. We're a big fan of coconut oil so we rounded up some evidence...

Kettlebell fun! One of the main reasons I love the KB is it's a great training tool for load & movement which focuses on muscular, Fascial, neuromuscular & cardiovascular benefits to the entire body. Here I demonstrate a 1-Arm Swing to a Front Carry Catch & rotational Shoulder Press. This movement incorporates Balistic posterior strength from the swing; hand-eye coordination from the front carry catch; spiral core engagement & complete deltoid activation from the rotational Shoulder Press.

Super proud of my longtime client/friend George here! After celebrating his 60th birthday on Sunday, and recovering from degenerative disks in his lower back almost a year ago to date, he's finally working his strength, balance & coordination back up to be able to perform this advanced TRX/Kettlebell combo exercise. Shown here he demonstrates this TRX Single-Leg Balance Lunge w/ overhead High Kettlebell hold. Clearly age ain't nothing but a number, and with adequate time, proper rehab & training you can return to doing the things you enjoy!
