What type of athlete doesn’t need healthier shoulders?
How about stronger hands, wrists, & forearms? Or maybe improved midline stabilization? Let’s not forget coordination, okay? I can’t think of any, can you? Steel clubs & maces can help in all those areas. Join us this coming Saturday at 11:00am at the Cave and learn from my coach, Don Giafardino.
How strong can you get with maces and clubs?

True recovery is more than just not lifting for a couple of days
Anyone who lifts heavy and hard knows how important it is to get adequate rest and recovery. In fact, all those who train hard, even if they are in a non-barbell sport, know this. However, many people sabotage their recovery through excessive amounts of stress. Much of that stress comes from being completely immersed inContinue reading “True recovery is more than just not lifting for a couple of days”

Closing thoughts on men’s health awareness month (Movember)
Well, this is the final post for Movember. As with most things pertaining to improving the health of men, many guys will ignore it, unless it pertains to getting 6-pack abs without doing any hard work or dating a woman 1/2 their age. That is to their own detriment, which they will probably regret laterContinue reading “Closing thoughts on men’s health awareness month (Movember)”
