The key to this system is just pushing the top end weight up by 5lbs per week as you rotate the movements. It’s not flashy, but if you are consistent, it pays off in the end.
I know exactly what number I have to hit each session and I don’t stray from the path. by @mvalenti100

2012 was my probably my best season ever. Scored a lot of wins in the caber that year and really felt like I had a shot at any stick they brought out. I actually had the most caber points on the NASGA board that year. Top of my game in 2012 and retired in 2013. That was the best way to go out.
I don’t know who that was judging the caber behind me in this pic, but he made me look slim at over 300lbs! by @mvalenti100

What if five minutes could change the way you move?

Most people think flexibility is something you’re born with.

It isn’t.

It’s a skill.

And like any skill, it can be taught.

Swipe through these five simple movement tests:

✔ Shoulder Mobility
✔ Toe Touch
✔ Deep Squat
✔ Side Split
✔ Front Split

The before-and-after photos you’re about to see weren’t taken months apart.

Many were taken just minutes apart using the Flexible Steel system.

Whether you’re looking to move better yourself or help your clients unlock mobility they didn’t think was possible, Flexible Steel gives you a proven, repeatable coaching system that delivers measurable results.

Be Both Flexible & Strong. Become Flexible Steel.

“The first in an unputdownable trilogy combining Norse mythology and Viking history, for fans of The Northman and The Last Kingdom.

The bond between men and the gods is weakening.

A dead man walks between the worlds and foresees Odin’s doom.

The only survivor of a slaughter unleashes a monster from fiery Muspelheim.

Long hidden among mortals, a giantess sighs and takes up her magics once again.

A chief’s son must overcome war and treason to become the leader his people need.”

And the final battle is coming... by @mvalenti100
