Troy is getting jacked! Amazing what a couple of months of hard work can do..

Monday's work was another Training Room inspired suffering ..6 minute non-stop sets of:
30 second intervals on each side non-stop (total of 1 minute of each movement) of:
swings r/l
cleans r/l
push press or jerk r/l
kettlebell one arm racked squat r/l
Kettlebell one arm row r/l
walkouts 1 minute
repeat 4 times...trying to move a heavier bell each time

Speaking of the Training Room; I'll be heading out to the "Dirty Jerzee" at the end of this month to attend their weekend certification. I've been following Uncle Mike and the crew since 2007 and am very excited to learn from the masters and bring back the knowledge to PSKC. 

Also, I've been afforded another great training opportunity...I was offered a slot to attend a Crossfit Level 1 Trainer Certification up in Columbus at Rogue Fitness. Just want to say thanks to all you guys...all of this wouldn't be possible if you guys didn't make my dream a reality.

It's a truly a pleasure to watch you guys become stronger, tougher, fitter, and healthier...I love things like the fact that the Z-Beast has to buy a whole new wardrobe, that the entire Staker family works out together, that new friendships/relationships are being formed, etc...so THANK YOU! See you all tonight at 6pm!
