Raw Power And Athleticism Defined…

by GEOFFN July 14, 2010 Movement

It’s no secret – I LOVE the sport of Weightlifting.
Arguably my all-time favorite lifter is Anatoli Pisarenko. He was the Soviet Super Heavyweight who ruled the world between 1982-1984.

At a certain point, I’ve got to wonder when, if ever, I will get tired of “discovering” new (old?) tricks, tips, and methodologies for my programming.

Does FMS Methodology REALLY Work?

by GEOFFN February 11, 2010 Movement

Ok, I’ve been off the grid primarily for two reasons – updating websites and I’ve been exploring a lot of FMS (Functional Movement Systems) / CK-FMS methodologies.
Now that’s probably a pretty strange statement considering I started this blog 4 years ago to write about my Z-Health experience.
