June Programming Notes Another month has flown by! We just finished up our Fighter Pull Up program care of StrongFirst's Pavel Tsatsouline and results have been great for our members. Multiple members can now do a tactical pullup completely unassisted after 5 weeks of work. In terms of the numbers most members saw their 5 rep max taken to above 10, one even hitting 17! For those wanting to continue their pullups, the chart will still be up, chat with your coach about the best way to go about it. We are now at our halfway mark moving through our Front Squats, Military Press, and Deadlifts just having hit some heavy this previous week. We will continue in these and begin to see some assistance work on our conditioning days. These will show up with some single leg deadlifts, windmills, and arm bars to help keep us well rounded and able to move properly without injury. Member Spotlight:Q & A with Steve Jentzsch
Before we get into this stuff, I thought it would be fun to give a little background on this guy. I've know Steve for about 5 years now and have seen some pretty cool milestones with his strength training not to mention his life... When he started, I was starting too, both just regular schmucks working out together figuring things out. Been very happy to count his guy amongst one of my closest friends. So what brought you over to BellHaus when we opened? Followed Matt for great coaching and support. I enjoy the "have fun and lift heavy stuff" attitude. Aside from the obviously Grammy deserving hit single Hips Don't Lie , what song gets you pumped up for the workout? Anything from ACDC and Metallica. What has been your favorite thing or movement to do in the gym? I like deadlifts. But I'm coming around on getups. Don't tell Matt though. Other folk may not know, but you tend to run a lot as well as your strength training. How do you feel strength training has affected your running game or vice versus? I feel I run better. It keeps me strong overall and makes adding mileage easier. I think it helps my lifting too. What else do you do when not sweating it out at the gym? I love traveling. Seeing and experiencing new places and people. I'm also a tech guy and like adding and setting up new stuff to my smart home. Totally a nerd. Community Spotlight: Whole Heart Yoga Put simply on their Facebook page Whole Heart Yoga is: a collaboration of yoga teachers and students formed to promote peace in our greater Fort Worth community and beyond If you could find the understatement of the year on what it is or what they are achieving in our community, this would be it. I've had the pleasure to know Amber Shumake over the years not only in the yoga community, but as a neighbor for two years as well. Finding someone who truly believes in the goodness for people and in helping their fellow man is a rare find but they exist and Amber is proof of that. For Whole Heart Yoga Fort Worth, or WHY FW, they achieve that goal above through public fundraising events, outreach in underserved areas, and mindfulness education. This group of teachers is one to keep an eye on through their Facebook page and Instagram currently to stay abreast of events happening all around us. There is one coming up shortly this month June 28th, at Joe T's with yoga on one of the best patios in town. Check out the link to sign up ahead of time.
