MY STRENGTH IS OUTTA CONTROL AND I�M HARDLY TRYING

BY LAUREN BROOKS, SENIOR SFG

Over the last few months I have performed some lifts that I previously didn�t think could be done by a gal my size. After exchanging some emails with Pavel, he has asked me to write about how I made this happen. I was very honest with him and told him that I didn�t train for it or even try very hard. In fact, the path I took was quite boring. Then I remembered I�m writing for a population that likes �boring� programs. Not boring in our eyes, but it would be as boring as it comes for the mainstream fitness buff.

I discovered that strength can work in very mysterious ways. Living with toxic stress and/or poisonous people can weigh you down in all aspects of life. There�s only so much one body and mind can take. I�ve found for both my students and me, stress takes your strength away and makes all lifts feel heavy. You find yourself training harder during the times you are stressed and risk getting weaker or injured in the process. Letting go of the energy vampires and truly owning the path you take in life is much easier said than done. If everyone could take charge of their own life, we�d have a lot of powerful happy people. Personally I�ve released some very heavy things from my life over the last year. I will admit, it was the hardest thing I�ve ever done. On the flip side, once I got through the thick of it and began to have clarity, it allowed me to conquer almost anything that came my way.

Back to physical strength: I currently weigh between 112 and 114 pounds. In the last several months, with minimal training, I achieved a 62 pound Get Up, 13 Ring Pull-ups, 140 pound Single Leg Dead Lifts and a Ring Pull-up with 53 pounds hanging from my feet. So how did this happen?  ....

Ladder Fun (Kettlebell Workout)

Here is a workout we did at On The Edge Fitness the other day.  It's probably one of my favorite workouts so far.  Warm up with light Turkish Get Ups or/and Joint Mobility

I posted this last month over at the On The Edge Fitness Facebook page, but thought I'd make it easier to find and put it on under the kettlebell workouts label of my blog.

Directions:

A. Begin by doing 8 reps for each exercise in this section. Then do a hip flexor stretch and begin back at 7 reps, until you make it down to 1.  If you are just starting begin at 5 or 6 reps.   Pace yourself and take breaks as needed.  It's not a race.

B. Go through each exercise for this section and perform 5-6 reps each.  Rest and repeat for 3 rounds.  Make sure you are challenging yourself since the reps are low.

C. Cool down on your own

D.   ENJOY and let me know how you do!

For those who have had buffering issues this is what they have told me:

Users have the option to download the videos or stream them from YouTube. We offer this option so that the app does not take up too much memory on your device. The default is to stream from YouTube. So, if a user does not have a strong wifi connection, the video may not play properly. 

If a user wants to have the video downloaded to their device, they can click the download icon at the top right of the lesson page.
