Back Inury: One Bad Rep For several years now I’ve done deadlifts on Mondays and stiff-legged deadlifts and Romanian deadlifts on Thursday. I’ve rarely had back pain and I’ve always taken great care to listen to my body and practice good form. I do barbell rows, dumbbell rows standing with bow stance, lat pulldowns and various other back centric exercises. The Sacroiliac Joint I continue to enjoy fitness topics, anatomy, biomechanics and anything that compliments my passion for lifting, running and martial arts.

Traditions For the past three years now I’ve gone on Chattanooga’s Grateful Gobber Walk for my Thanksgiving morning. This became a tradition, and one I’ve enjoyed since shortly after doing the first 5k of my life when I was rebuilding my life and getting fit. Going on this particular 5k run feels like an excellent way to celebrate Thanksgiving, and with 100% of the proceeds going to the Maclellan Shelter for Families, I was pretty stoked to spend my early morning in an ocean of other happy people planning to walk or run through downtown Chattanooga.
