By Leo Fontana   So you have been doing Welded for awhile now and for some reason you have not seen any #gains the past 3 months or so.  You show up every class 5 minutes early so you can mobilize, always pay attention during the notes and complete the entire warm up as prescribed.   By the time strength comes around you are so excited to lift that heavy barbell but then you think to yourself: “ I haven’t made gains in so long!  I have been stuck on the same numbers and I haven’t really seen any improvements in my pull ups or on that stupid Devil machine we call an assault bike!”   So what now? Are you suppose to just be happy with that and maybe in another year you can get a little better? NO!!! You push harder, everyday! For those of you who can identify...

By: Derek Wellock   Today I was scrolling through social media and various news channels, and due the nature of my job I subscribe to many which have to do with fitness and health.  As I was reading what was being posted  a nerve struck.  I am so tired of the guilt that fitness and health gurus of the world place on eating during the holiday season.  Lets a take a good look at this and get down to what is important. I read the average holiday dinner is around 4,500 calories.  With a pound of fat consisting of 3,500 calories, so this means at one dinner you are going to store an extra pound of fat.   You have two or 3 of these holiday dinners and you are looking at a minimum gain of about 3-5 pounds of fat during the holiday season.

Name: Auggie Arroyo Age: 46 Weldedting Since: March 2014 at Double Edge What was your first Memorable Welded Experience? I remember walking into Double Edge for the very first time for the 11:00 a.m. class, and thinking to myself…this won’t be too bad.  WRONG!  I got annihilated – laying on the ground in a pool of sweat, and having Alvie looking over me while giving me a fist bump! Favorite Lift/Movement: Power Clean.  Least Favorite Lift/Movement: Double Unders. Why Do You Do Welded? I have been an athlete my whole life.  Welded seems to fit my profession as a Firefighter and keeps me feeling young and active. Who would you recommend Welded too?  I would recommend Welded to anyone with a “can do” attitude and looking to stay active.  “Coaches open doors but you must walk through it.”  What does Double Edge Mean to you? Since walking through the doors...
