Clean grip snatch worked up to 239 x 1
Box jumps worked up to an easy 42″ x 5 with minimal knee tuck. I need a much bigger box.

How to Make A Monster Write – Up
This past Sunday, I had the opportunity attend a workshop hosted by the IFAST team that featured Charlie Weingroff as the speaker. I was actually surprised at the number of attendee’s. There were probably over 50 people in attendance. It was great. Once again, most of the people in attendance were from out of state. I guess the trainers here in Indy are already good enough. They don’t need to get better (sarcasm). Anyways, here’s some ideas and notables I took from the talk:
- Joint Centration is the ideal balance of prime movers and stabilizers acting on a joint.
- Phasic muscles = prime movers ie the ones you see.
- Tonic muscles = stabilizers ie the ones you don’t see.
- A good screening tool will assess Neurodevelopment, Pain and Motor Control, Regional interdependence, and have a High Threshold Strategy.
- Train Slow doesn’t = be slow.

Basic Nutrition For Athletes
I’m going to preface this post by mentioning that I am NOT a registered dietitian. If you have health conditions, you should consult with your doctor before making any changes to your diet.
“What should I eat?” or “What should my kids eat?” are probably the two most frequent questions hear from my parents and athletes. So, I figured I would go ahead and write a little something to give you some guidelines to follow.
First, let’s get a bit of background info in what Calories, Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats are.
Protein
Protein is basically the building blocks of muscle and other tissue in the body. Good sources of protein are chicken breasts, fish, turkey, and lean beef. Try to eat the least processed meat possible. You should be able to tell where the meat come from on an animal. For example, I know where the breast is on a chicken. I have no idea where a hot dog or bologna came from.

A Definition of Hard Work and Commitment
There is a recent blog post on the strengthcoach blog about the disconnect between the trainer and client. Read the post here. I really liked the post and thought that I would share it with you.
The article talks about the difference between what is important to the client and what the trainer perceives to be important to them. While fitness may be the number one priority for the trainer, it may only be 3rd or 4th on the list for the client. To the client, fitness is typically just something they do a couple of times per week to fulfill a need to lose weight, reduce medications, or increase self-esteem. The quicker the trainer realizes this, the better.

1/8/2012 Strongman Events 1/9/2012 Bench, etc.
1/8/2012 Events
My training partner is prepping for the Arnold the first weekend in March. I’m an alternate, so I’m training the events as well even though it’s unlikely that I’ll be competing.
Temperature in the barn was about 25 degrees, so I took my time warming up.
Log Press (clean each rep)
195 x 5
235 x 2
285 x 1
305 x 1
320 x 1
320 x 3
850 Yoke The medley is 850 yoke/200 sandbag/350 per hand farmers 50ft each.
I didn’t feel like I was physically ready to do the medley yet, so rather than be a jackass that slows down the training session, I just did the yoke. I’ll do the entire medley next time we train it.
Car deadlift worked up to 875 x 2
Husafel stone picked 360 worked on technique
1/9/2012
Dynamic Warm Up
Bench – haven’t benched since before Nationals, so I stayed conservative
265 x 5

This Is Who We Are.
At Nunn’s Performance Training, we are about half way through our second year being in business. During that time, we have always kind of struggled with our identity. Are we an adult fitness studio? Are we sports performance? What is our brand? Are we corporate wellness? For most businesses, these types of things are usually decided before it is ever incorporated. For me, it wasn’t. This business was started out of necessity. Not an “entrepreneurial seizure” as Micheal Gerber would put it. Every gym that I had worked for had a failing business model and went under quickly. So quickly that I had to scramble to figure out something to keep cash flowing in. This is where Nunn’s Performance Training was born. So when setting up my business, I looked at who my clients were. I had a handful of adults and a handful of middle school and high school athletes. All of which have been with me for several years and through a couple different failed gyms. They followed me from one gym to another, my garage, and eventually into a space I could call my own. Why did they follow me? Because they were serious about being the best versions of themselves.

11/27/2011 Strongman Events and 11/29/2011 Bench Press
11/27/2011
Event Training
We had a big group of guys coming to train this Sunday and, as usual, I was running late. Anyways, I got there and they had already began the log. So, I took a quick warm up and then hit a 295 for an easy two. On to the medley.
850 Yoke/230 Sandbag/350 Farmers
The yoke and sandbag felt good, but slow. I was unable to finish the farmers. I don’t think it’s a strength issue. I think it’s a speed issue. The time under tension is just too great when you move too slow.
Axle Clean and Press
Worked up to an easy 285 x 1
Dumbell Clean and Press
Thomas Inch (172lbs) for a few singles.
Thomas Inch Dumbell
Then, after a few attempts, I hit the big Slater 211 Dumbell! Huge PR!
