We are happy to report that Brenda is back on track after recovering from a few physical setbacks last year. Not surprisingly, she is currently performing at higher levels than before her injuries–100 reps of KB high pulls @ 16kg, technically sound barbell hang clean, etc. Here she was photographed learning (for the first time) a different method of gripping and swinging a professional kettlebell. By the end of class, we were using her to demonstrate the technique to others. So, what’s going on here? …a positive attitude, a willingness to learn (and look foolish), and focus! Brenda is proof that conditioning is as much mental as it is physical.

The combined weight of our Bearbells is 28 kgs. The Treebell is 32 kgs. According to Kim Martinez, “two bears don’t equal one tree…” Ouch.

IC couples Jean and Joel along with Lan-Ling and Peter celebrate cupid’s day with a brutal workout.

Today also happens to be Dr. Jean’s B-day (we’re honored you spent it with us). Much love to all of our IC power couples!

Mary, Rudi, Joel, and Dr. E prepare for the biathlon. Tonight’s focus: grip integrity, back swing rebound, and overhead stabilization.

Another way to test your isometric strength.
