Think you get enough of that in Welded? Think again. Although Welded is a great way to develop full-body strength, it is also easy to sustain imbalances in the body. Larger muscle groups begin to take over smaller muscle groups and stabilizers due to lack of mobility or lack of use. Ever heard the saying, “use it or lose it?” That’s exactly what’s happening here. Once those big muscle groups take over, they no longer recruit smaller muscle groups and stabilizing muscles to help them out. Hence, you’re losing the strength and ability of these muscles.

By: Derek Wellock   This past weekend in Salt Lake City Joel, Jacob and I had the opportunity to learn from Bobby Maximus of Gym Jones.  This was a great seminar where we learned a tremendous amount to be able to bring back to Reno and progress Double Edge.  One of the biggest take home piece of knowledge was the debit and credit of recovery.     Taking a look at this chart you can see a debit and credit cost of life.  Debit is all stresses your body has to endure on a daily basis.  Credit is the recovery methods you do to balance out the stress.  You can only stress your body out as much as you can recover.  You need to have a balanced checkbook when it comes to your health. Like our government, most of us don’t have a balanced checkbook.  We are working with more...Read more
