Hey Members – I am looking for someone with a good set of abs, & no not Tony this time. I want to use one our members to make a YouTube video demonstrating one of Joe’s drills. Male or female, either is fine. Btw, you must have perfect push-up form. Please let me know. Thanks, Renene here.
In the 2nd round, Steve busted up his thumb on Daniel’s hard head. These two guys are monsters, Steve is 6′5″ & Daniel is 6′3″. Steve has on long sleeve gray shirt, Daniel is red T-shirt. Daniel refers to his forehead as ‘The Iron Curtain’, a rock hard head.
Well Steve, we will see you next week after that thumb heals. Daniel is anxious to pick up where you guys left off.
Too bad the video missed the crucial injury part.

If you want that six pack then you gotta do the work!
Do you know what to do for your lower abs? We all know about crunches, sit-ups, & declines, but these 3 do not really isolate the lower abdominals. Lower abs are difficult to develop, this is why you must work them every time you do abs. Crunches alone will not develop lower abs for you.
Here are a few examples of some incredible Ab Exercises:
1) Reverse Crunches (on bench). Hold onto the bench (hands behind your head), bring knees to elbows by rocking your butt upward.
2) Hanging Leg Raises.
3) Roman Chair Leg Raises (with bent knees).
4) Seated Knee-ins (on side of bench). With bent knees.
5) Flat Bench Leg Raises (on very edge of bench). Straight legs up in the air, then down to parallel with pointed toes.
6) Floor Raises the “3 Stacker” (hands beneath butt); 1st = straight leg raises 12″ from floor, 2nd = straight legs high all the way up, 3rd = bent knees into chest.
7) Scissor Knee-ins (with big toes & heels touching) on floor, hands beneath butt, bring heels into stomach.
If you want, feel free to ask Renene for a demonstration.
Today I wanted to post 2 videos that are quite inspiring.
This first one will bring tears to your eyes. They are the Hoyt’s. The dad’s name is Dick and his son’s name is Rick. After the first time Rick ran a marathon with his dad, he told him: “Dad, when we were running, It felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!’” His dad got obssesed with giving his son that feeling as much as he could.

The second one is how a Navy Seal trains for the Ironman and how he thinks.

“When I first started, I really was not a football player. I never really even liked football then,” Walker told MMA Fighting. “I just loved to run. If it would have been around then, I really think I would have been an MMA fighter.”
At 47 years old, Walker is finally following his calling. He makes his debut on Jan. 30, facing little-known Greg Nagy at a Strikeforce show in Sunrise, Fla.

Renene here, reporting ringside from my laptop. A lot going on today. We have some serious sparring going on. Paul, our new coach had 5 new members sign up with him today. He is doing an awesome job, he fits in with Tony, Chris, & Billy like a glove (like a boxing glove that is, heehee). Paul trains his people with real passion.
Robyn a.k.a.”Die Hard” & I are trying to come up with a new T-shirt design. We might bring the skull back, with a whole new look. He is a great artist & drew up a couple of tough looking skulls.
The boys are here with me in the office, sleeping in their little red beds. Kiwi likes it here, cause he gets extra cookies. Meko just wants to go home & sit in the big recliner with Joe.
Mark Evans is back from Afghanistan. He will be in the morning to train with Joe. Dani girl is walking in the door. She’s the one on our website.
