Happy Birthday, and great job on the 535 squat. Evan has made great strides this summer with a 500+ deadlift and squat, as well as great improvement in snatch, clean and push press. Evan is an Arch Bishop Alter High School Grad, and is playing football at Brown University in the Fall.
I just found this very interesting site for all of those that have had blood work done, and are trying to understand the results.
check out this article about the power of writing it down.
Alter Alumni Louise V. squatted deadlifted 235, Megan S squatted 180, Sandy P, a junior, squatted 160, Ali M made a great showing at a 145. All have made significant improvement.
Megan S box squatted 180 x 3, Mary B box squatted 135 x 1 and Louise V. deadlifted 225 x 1, all three under 150 body weight! Didn't have my video camera, but I will get video from here on out.
check out this little boy, what an inspiration. If you can watch this video, and still not get your butt off the couch....something is seriously wrong with you.
My boys from the area football teams are starting to put some great numbers up in the major lifts.
Notables this week are a 485 deadlift from Evan J, a 300 front squat and a 150 military from Matt P (155 pound bodyweight) Max P put up a 190 military press and Evan N and David K broke the 405 squat barrier.
Keep up the good work fellas.
Took some pics at the gym today. These show the speed necessary for Olympic lifts to take place with proper execution. I didn't have the sports setting on the camera turned on, but I think it makes the effect that much more dramatic
Also Mary B. working on her chin ups, and Ryan S. working the lower body triple extension with the dumbbell jump squats
Matt P. DB for Archbishop Alter High School's football team squatted 350 x 1 at a bodyweight of 154 this morning . Very nice job Matt!
As many of you know, I have a 5 year old child, Joe, who is a very active child. we were at the park today, and as an experiment I mimicked him around the playground for an hour. It was quite an eclectic workout. Adding variety and new challenges to your program with keep your metabolism guessing and therefore ramped up.
Congrats to Arch Bishop Alter's Evan Johnson on his scholarship to Brown University, and Fairmont High School's Evan Wray on his scholarship to Butler University. Both Are great students and athletes. We are happy to have them as part of the Power Enterprises family.
I would like you to meet my son Isaac, all 8.9 pounds and 22 inches of him. Obviously a very proud dad.
This Article is very interesting. It basically documents how native people in this country, but also documented cases in Australia and South America, have gone back to their native diets, and have seen massive weight loss, Higher energy levels and a decrease in depression and diabetes.
The Arizona Wildcats are the newly crowned national champion swim team. Our own Jenny Forster is a contributing member of this team, so I thought I would mention it.
We can no longer take credit for Ms. Forster's conditioning, as it is obviously handled by the excellent strength and conditioning staff at the University of Arizona, but she is Power Enterprises Inc alumni, so she gets the mention.
Our own "little fish" Sarah Andrews got her Olympic Trial Cut time in the 200m bk. Congratulations to her, her family and the Dayton Raiders Swim Coaching Staff.
We have had the privilege of being associated with the Alter Girls Basketball team for a number of years now. We wanted to wish them luck in the Ohio Girls Basketball State Finals, this Saturday March 8th in Columbus.
We were mentioned in the local Dayton Daily News in an article, third paragraph. This is the link to the article about the very talented Ms. Waterman
It not that this bird swam to shore, its that the damn thing never dropped the fish. Keep your eye on the prize!
Two points of interest for the men who think that a little ride on the exercise bike while reading the paper, and never breathing hard is doing the job.
1. out of shape (read: men that never do any high intensity exercise) are 100 times more likely to die while shoveling snow or sprinting for the bus than those who are in shape.
2. scientists found that sedentary middle aged men who took up exercising saw a quantum leap in their libidos
Just some things to think about.
