Big Dawgs
What is a Big Dawg?
I'm not entirely sure where the name came from, but a name matters not. What does matter is what we, the Big Dawgs represent - a constant search for answers to higher levels of fitness and all that it pertains to. Big Dawgs have come and gone, they come in, learn, move on and are better for it; some have come and have never left - we help one another grow through removing the personal limitations; not strong enough, not enough stamina, not belonging to a community, no reason behind the prescription.
We have high level fitness enthusiasts who strive to be better at a lot of things, not just one. We have high level thinkers who understand the connection between the body and mind. We have respect for all ideas around fitness and truly allow an area for open mindedness. We welcome all; but be prepared for discomfort, mental and physical - this allows forward momentum. Wondering what group to follow, find out more HERE

I was put onto this cat a few weeks ago and have been enthralled ever since; you don't need knowledge of the French language to see how powerful this cat was and how he moves weight - had a discussion with a coach since then who trained athletes along side him - he would normally participate in longer runs every AM with the other endurance athletes; at one event at an indoor meet the high jumper for his team did not show up, so they needed someone to jump once at least for their team to get points - he volunteered and did a 2 step Fosbury to the amazement of all the high jumpers - and came 2nd or something in the event - he would jump in b/t his throws - whacked!
TRAINING:
A. Split Jerk - build to a tough double; rest as needed
B. 15 CTB chin ups; rest 90 sec x 3
