First barbell class with athletes from CrossFit NWA @crossfitnwa and @crossfitreverence today! Class was on 🔥 and I had a blast coaching the group. If you’re looking to improve your weightlifting technique and have fun in the process, come out and join us Thursday evenings from 5-6:30pm and Sundays from 2-3pm. #crossfit #weightlifting #snatch #clean #jerk taken in Crossfit Reverence by @blockoutandrebound

One of the biggest issues I see with new lifters is struggling to get the bar past the knees efficiently. Most lifters keep too much weight in their heels, causing the knees to shift forward. When that happens, the bar has to travel around the knees instead of moving straight up, which leads to a major loss of power.

The key is learning to push the knees back slightly and allow the bar to pass freely. Once the bar clears the knees, keep it close to the thigh and aggressively attack the hips.

Practice this drill with lighter weight until the movement becomes smooth, natural, and consistent.

If reverse hypers aren’t in your program I believe your missing a movement that is a back saver. Here are some benefits:
1. Posterior Chain Development – Builds glutes, hamstrings, and spinal erectors, all crucial for squats, deadlifts, sprinting, and jumping.
2. Spinal Decompression – The swinging motion creates traction in the lumbar spine, helping to relieve pressure on compressed discs.
3. Improved Hip Extension Power – Strengthens hip drive, which carries over to explosive lifts, running, and athletic performance.
4. Low Back Strengthening Without Compression – Unlike traditional back extensions or good mornings, it trains the lower back without heavy axial loading on the spine.
5. Hamstring & Glute Isolation – Helps athletes who struggle with hamstring weakness or glute activation. #clean #Jerk #snatch #reversehyper #masterweightlifting #M50 taken in Walton Family Whole Health & Fitness by @blockoutandrebound

Happy 27th Anniversary, Esther!

Wow—27 years. It’s hard to believe that much time has passed since that hot summer day in Vineland when we stood before God, our families, and our friends and said, “I do.” Looking back, I don’t think we could’ve ever imagined the journey God had planned for us.

We’ve been everywhere together. We’ve built a life filled with adventure, laughter, and three incredible daughters who love the Lord. And through it all, I’ve watched God write one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever known—ours.

If it’s fair to say, I’m more in love with you today than I’ve ever been. You’re my best friend, and each year I find myself wanting to grow closer to you. You challenge me to be a better Christian, a better husband, and a better man—all because you love me without condition. That kind of love is rare, and I’m so grateful for it.

Thank you for walking beside me through every move and career change, for listening to God’s whisper, and for teaching me what it means to truly follow Him. There are moments I look at you and wonder how I got so blessed—how I could possibly deserve a woman like you. But deep down, I know… you are my perfect gift.

As we celebrate 27 years, my prayer is that we continue to put each other first, love deeply, live humbly, and walk closely with our Lord. @estherstien

Thank you, Esther.
Happy Anniversary. by @blockoutandrebound

Saturday morning Thrusters. 5 Rds every 2:30 @225lbs. For those who lift, look at my front rack. I still cannot get my right arm as high as my left. Fighting for mobility without pain. It’s a grind. One day at a time. #thrusters taken in Walton Family Whole Health & Fitness by @blockoutandrebound

He is Risen!

This Easter, my heart is full of gratitude.

Grateful for the cross.
Grateful for the empty tomb.
Grateful for a Savior who conquered death so that we might live.

But I’m also thankful for the many blessings around me — my beautiful wife, our incredible daughters, the journey God continues to guide us on, and the people He’s placed in our lives. I don’t take any of it for granted.

Through every season — the joyful ones and the challenging ones — I’m reminded that the resurrection isn’t just something to celebrate once a year. It’s the reason we have hope every single day.

Wishing you and your family a blessed Easter filled with peace, joy, and the overwhelming love of Christ 🙏 taken in Bella Vista, Arkansas by @blockoutandrebound
