excerpt from the Survival Guide regarding strength…
“Increasing your strength is critical to your overall fitness, well being, as well as your general, and specific work capacities. Metabolic conditioning workouts are great for increasing your cardio-respiratory, as well as muscle endurance. There are also some strength gains that can take place even during these workouts that contain little to no rest. However, by having some days that we focus just on strength (lifting heavier weight, with much more rest between sets) we will then be able to increase our power output (work much harder, burn more calories, however you want to look at it) on the metcon workouts. Increasing your absolute strength will also allow you to be more confident in your daily life knowing that you are far more capable than before.”

Seeing those pics of velocity made me nostalgic. Amazing times. I think we should put a Top Ten Best Moments list together. Eight out of the 10 spots will obviously involve a Dammen moment. For Example: Chad weighs himself, finds that he is one pound short of 250, decides to get off the scale and drink a gallon of water, and then immediately gets back on the scale to confirm that he has achieved his desired weight increase. Classic!
I agree. I think I will create an Assistant to the SPD position at the Shop just to bring Dammen back. It would be nothing short of amazing.
Did someone speak of VIKING POWER
