What are the odds of an IC t-shirt and a Bandworks t-shirt appearing in the same class photo?

Joseph Tennant is sporting the IC tee. Can Jeremy name the other young man sporting the Bandworks tee?

Tonight’s assignments:

Moving sand.

Beating chains.

Loading cargo.

Standing tall.

Breaking toys.

“Women lack the upper body strength to complete push-ups or pull-ups.”

Hmmm, we could come up with citations for this one, but instead, most of us know you can look around the room and see the fallacy of this myth. It is true that overall men tend to have greater upper body strength, but it is also true that to properly execute these movements, all you need is the right upper body strength to body weight ratio. Which translates to: a little practice and some body transformation and you’ll likely get both in time. Just remember that lots of women come into the Ice Chamber pushing up on their knees and end up doing them on their feet, and if you’ve watched any of the hard workers who stay after class to practice pull ups, you know that determination gets you everywhere.

Anyone, male or female, have any new goals in this area?

Bilateral diaper hold with kettlebell.

What do photos 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, and 16 have in common? Hmmm… These IC’ers are beyond cool. Talk about loyalty! (…and audacity )

We know there were more of you out there who missed the photo submission deadline; sorry we couldn’t feature you in time!

Send us a photo of yourself at the Solano Stroll with your IC apparel on and we’ll give you a choice of a tee, tank, cami, or hoodie.

Fair trade?

Deadline for photo submission is end of business on September 10th.

The IC is on the front page of the Journal (Albany, El Cerrito, Kensington) this morning.

And guess whose picture is prominently featured?

We can’t seem to find an online version, so go pick up your copy today!

At the IC, age ain’t nothin’ but a number. Alan Pagle shows us why in this video exposé of his personal training sessions.
