Frequency Method Pull ups = Taking a number of pull ups below your max and repeating them many times through out the day. Once you’re able to perform 10 sets then add 1 repetition per set the next day.

Todays workout was a lot of active recovery including foam rolling, stretching, and trigger point. After Squat day special attention needs to be given to the recovering muscles.

The image to the right is a great example of what a power hitting frame should look like.

Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.

Sayoc Tactical Medical Trauma course

A 3 day course for the chosen few which would get us up to speed on everything from CPR to stopping arterial bleeds.

Some of the material covered:

CPR
Suturing
Giving IV’s
Applying Tourniquets
Developing your Med Kit Bag
Intubation
Tracheostomy
and more

The group was able to get hands on learning experience which is rare if not in the medical field. Information on how best to continue developing our skill sets and where to get supplies when in a pinch was very valuable info.

Thanks to Guro Harley Elmore of Warriors Way for organizing this training opportunity.
