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

By: Derek Wellock You need to make sure you attack each day with purpose.  Don’t just wake up and go through the motions.  Make sure you have a plan and when you wake up you get after that plan.  Remember small steps climb mountains.  So making small and consistent steps forward everyday will help you achieve any goals you might have. Do NOT be afraid to make mistakes.  Only be scared of repeating them.  Some of the greatest growths in my life came from making a mistake. Surround yourself with people better then you.  You are only the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with.  So the better the people who are around you the better you will become. If you actually take this to heart and apply it every single day you wake up, you will be surprised how much better you were today then yesterday.  ...Read more

Consistency is much more important than those sporadic, all in, go big, types of moments. That being said I know that everyone loves to make those huge PR jumps in their lifts, get their first gymnastic skill such as muscle up, pull up or toe to bar and jump on some random diet trend and go all in on it at first.

What about the first time you got your first muscle up, toe to bar or double under but now you have trouble linking more than a few? The root cause of this plateau is lack of consistency. For example, with numbers and lifting, if I can consistently move...Read more

By: Savina Brown   Balance:  a state in which different things occur in equal or proper amounts or have an equal or proper amount of importance Source: Merriam-Webster’s Learner’s Dictionary   These days the obsession with finding balance in our lives is greater than ever. With our crazy schedules of running kids here and there, making work deadlines, getting a daily workout in, meal prepping, paying bills, oh and don’t forget to RSVP to that birthday party next weekend, it almost seems like a constant state of imbalance, chaos, and stress. How can one find balance when they are running from point A to point B to C and back to A? A wise individual once advised me, “How would you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” Balance can be found in a very similar fashion. Don’t try to change everything all at once; make those minor tweaks and adjustments to...Read more
