From quiet and shy to strong and capable. Jiu-jitsu gives kids the quiet power to stand tall, face hard days, and handle any bully. Watch them grow into confident champions—both on the mat and out in the real world. We have seen this sport change lives and change trajectories. Come see how we can help your child grow into the resilient and unstoppable force he/she was meant to be. #Kidsjiujitsu #pyramidjiujitsu #memphisjiujitsu #bartlettjiujitsu taken in Pyramid Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai by @mr_smithson

Pain free single. Woot!
Front pulling chain deadlift.
495 and around 120 in chains.
Last week's deload really helped me feel confident in pulling heavy this week. Hoping the pain free rmtrend continues. taken in Heavy Metal Strength by @mr_smithson

Deadlifts out, sled drags in.
Keep heart rate above 125 below 145 or so.
20 minutes don't stop.
Good for cardio but I'm doing it for my hips and posterior chain. taken in Heavy Metal Strength by @mr_smithson

Training still happens when it's cold.
Great opportunity to use strength for breaking and moving ice. Take a few laps with some big pieces. #husafell taken in Heavy Metal Strength by @mr_smithson

Gridiron bar rackslide overhead press AMRAP 140 x 20 after 2 x 10 at 165
Then weighted push ups 2x10 and a body weight AMRAP x 40 (ok 39.5)
First cycle doing this pushup variation. First week it was really tough but today (3rd week) it felt much easier. Highly recommend. taken in Heavy Metal Strength by @mr_smithson

Can you spell "maar·kee"? Kelsey did to win the school Spelling Bee for the 3rd year in a row. Watching her prepare and execute in front of the entire school was a proud moment. She even tripped and fell on the platform but it didn't shake her resolve. Thank God she got her Kristen's intellige.

It's "marquee" btw. taken in Collierville Elementary by @mr_smithson

Max Attempts! PRs!
208 bodyweight.
660 squat PR. Previous PR at 220 was 655 unless you count the 675 that got redlighted...
365 bench. Previous PR 345 at 220. I had fixed some of the inconsistent leg drive but apparently not on this day. Got the lift anyway.
575 deadlift was no PR but it's there. Not injured just an accumulation of work.
.
Holler at ya boy @bwscott89 if you want PRs and come see us at @heavymetalstrength.

This week, 96% lifts at @heavymetalstrength . Everything is moving well, especially bench. There's more in there. No maxes here but there are potential PRs.
Now off to @pyramidjiujitsu to figure out how to use this strength. taken in Heavy Metal Strength by @mr_smithson
