WHAT DOES A TYPICAL WORKOUT FOR ME LOOK LIKE? This is a question I do get fairly regularly. And honestly, the answer could be a lot of different things, depending on the day.

#11 Turkish Getup+Carry (Unilateral Horizontal Push). #12 Lawn Mower Rows (Unilateral Horizontal Pull). As some of you might have noticed, I like to modify most exercises. I do this to find a version that works best for my body and my goals. I urge you to do the same. This requires safe exploration and imagination, both good things […]
