By Alvie Hafen  Beep! Beep! Beep! Beeeeeep! Monday morning ugh. I just want to sleep all day. My job sucks. I didn’t sleep well. I am sick. My co-workers are so annoying. These are all thoughts which cross our mind on a daily basis. You can let these thoughts infect you like a disease. You can become that person at work. The one who is always complaining about something. The person who you just want to get away from because they are so negative. They are life suckers.  Or you can do something about it.

Whether is it body image, credit card debt, divorce, or even a dying relative. We cant change the struggle and challenges that our thrown at us, but...Read more

This past Saturday Double Edge hosted the first ever Metcon For Hope Charity Welded competition.  This event had been on the minds of the staff ever since last Christmas and in a short amount of time we were able to organize and run one of the most successful events yet! Metcon for Hope had 88 competitors compete in 4 different scored events including toy and food donation for the Northern Nevada Food Bank and Toys for Tots.   The donations far exceed all of our expectations as the total count for toys was over 600 and the total count for non perishable food was 1,600!   Along with the charitable donations of toys and food, we were able to raise over $3,000 on the day of the event which brought the total money donation to $6,000 that will go directly to sponsoring families in need this holiday! We couldn’t imagine...Read more

Truth is, that it is the most important skeletal muscle in the human body, and its tightness could be the cause for the lower back pain you may be feeling during a workout or even something you feel throughout your day. Knowing what/where the Psoas is and how to keep it healthy, could be the difference between a pain free psoas or developing low back pain at some point in your life, which is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Yeah I know, bullshit right?   The psoas major muscle, also known as the “hidden prankster”, contributes to the role of the hip flexors. It’s the only muscle that connects the upper extremity to the lower extremity (the spine to the legs).  Its primary role is hip flexion (pulls torso toward thigh)...Read more
