Dates

I’m not gonna lie and say I didn’t drink beer and play Mario all last night. Just deal with the mid-day post.

We are capping the road trip off Saturday by doing a workshop at CF Centurion. Ian Carver owns the place and he has promised food and beer afterwards. If you’re within driving distance of the Sacramento area, then it’ll be well worth it. E-mail Ian to sign up.

I will be down in Fort Myers, Florida for a workshop on Saturday August 21st at CF Fort Myers. You can register for that one HERE.

We’ll be in Atlanta on the last Saturday of the month (August 28) at AC’s dad’s gym, Body Pros in Alpharetta, GA (north of Atlanta). If you’re interested in attending this workshop, e-mail me.

I’m behind on checking e-mails because of this trip and I will get to some of them today. If I haven’t responded, it’s because I haven’t had the time. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

This Will Keep You Temporarily Busy

Posted on August 11, 2010 by Justin

We are up in Hayward, California in the bay area. You should be busy eating meat and training hard. If you’re getting bored, here’s a video of Ruth and Sean’s (who hosted us at their house and gym for the first workshop) dog training. Her name is Nalu, and she takes her training seriously.

August Picture Challenge

Posted on August 10, 2010 by Justin

Since I recently gave you very descriptive tips on how to do the 70’s Big Face, you should have a solid grasp on it. We’ve seen some very good renditions on our trip in California, and we’ve also seen some horrible, yet comical attempts.

Now it’s your turn to show us what your 70’s Big Face looks like. Send us a picture to 70sBig@gmail.com to win some goodies from Killustrated.com. Also, if you use the code “70BG” on orders above $25 on Killustrated, you will get a 10% discount.

At the end of the month I will post the top faces and we will vote on them again. Should be pretty good.

Quick Recap

Posted on August 9, 2010 by Justin

AC and I have had a busy few days in California. We did some coaching on Friday evening, did the workshop in El Segundo on Saturday, drove north to Monterey (didn’t take the scenic route), got in at midnight, and then did another workshop in the morning.

I’d like to thank Ruth and Sean (again) for hosting us in Redondo/El Segundo. They are great people, have funny animals, and I’m already looking forward to the next time I get to hang with them. Now that we’re in Monterey we’re hanging with Mike Hom and Jacob Tsypkin. Jacob is a fast talking Jewish Russian (I found this out when he randomly started talking to his parents in Russian without warning). We took the coastal highway down to the beautiful Big Sur area.

We haven’t had a lot of sleep, so that’s all I’m getting into tonight. Here are some pictures from the coastal highway.

Here is something to entertain you.

PR Friday

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Justin

I don’t have much of a post for you. We traveled to California today, and we’re tired. AC and I trained last night (got done at midnight), got a couple hours of sleep, then flew to LAX. We’ll be doing the first 70’s Big Workshop of the trip on Saturday at CF Intrepid (on the coast next to Los Angeles, click here to register).

Post your PR’s to the comments. I haven’t had any PR’s this week, but it’s been good to train the Olympic lifts heavy. Here is a video of a 120kg snatch I dedicated to Brent. Shirtless lifting is often done in training halls and Brent and I have joked around about it before, so I felt the need to include him on this session in Georgia.
