There is a lot I could write about this past weekend, in a way I don’t even know where to start. I could write a whole post about the new friends I made like Mark Wilson who runs a Bootcamp in Fargo, Josh Hanagarne who is the World’s Strongest Librarian, or Adam T Glass whom I’m not sure I even want to pigeon-hole with a title.
My friend Brad Nelson who runs the most successful kettlebell gym in the country put on a seminar on Saturday called Grip & Rip.
I went to G&R thinking I would learn a few things about how to get stronger and walk away with a few tips to work into my training. Instead, I was shown the keys to a method and ideas that have completely changed the way I look at human movement and development in general. It was bar-none the most eye-opening experience of my life. I will go into further detail in the future.
My favorite quote from the weekend was from Adam, but it may actually be attributed to Frankie Faires. He said, “It is your biological birth right to get better every single day.” To expand a bit on that, the human body is adapting every day. Whether or not you provide it the inputs to adapt in a positive way is up to you, but like it or not your body is adapting to stimuli every moment of every day. Our goal, is to provide as much beneficial stimulation as possible to adapt in a positive way.
I am looking forward to seeing where this takes me.
P.S. In the mean time, if you are dealing with any chronic pain issues and you’re ready to fix them, contact Brad Nelson or Adam Glass.

Amen to all that. I feel like I’m in fight club, and I’m the guy yelling “You don’t know where I’ve been Lou!”
Can I make a suggestion about the styling of your new theme?
It would be a lot better if you would differentiate the color of you links. Currently it is impossible to determine if a word is a link or not, I only realized that you actually had links in this article by accidentally dragging my mouse over a couple words in the final sentence.
Thanks Jon I am just playing around with it right now.
