Diesel Crew Strength and Fitness Tips

From Jedd Johnson

 

Hello ,

 

I hope you've had a great weekend so far.

 

I am writing to tell you a little bit about

Summer Strong #4, the event I went to

yesterday at the Sorinex Headquarters in

Irmo, SC.

 

In case you didn't know, Sorinex is owned

by Richard Sorin, who is the first person

coined the term, "The Blob," for the

severed heads of 100-lb dumbbells

produced by York Barbell back in the day.

 

Sorinex holds Summer Strong each year in

conjunction with Richard's birthday, but this

is way more than just a birthday party. 

strength and fitness.

 

The day started off with a presentation on

Speed Development by Mike Srock.  He

shared some really nice speed drills, many

of which I had never seen before.

 

Next, Andrew Durniat spoke on Density

Training.  This form of training,which he uses

in his own training and with his clients involves

pair antagonistic movement patterns back to

back, and doing them for 15 minutes straight

in sets of five.  He also spoke on recovery

methods and how to be able to keep training

into your 60's, like Richard Sorin has done.

 

After that, it was open gym time, and people

could move about and try out the equipment

in Sorinex's expansive facility.  Sorinex has a

lot of nice equipment in there.  Believe me, I

have my eye on a couple pieces there...

 

After the open gym, it was time to eat and I

found out that in South Carolina, every meal,

it seems is prepared with rice.  I was so hungry

I could have eaten a horse, and grabbed two

bowls of this concoction containing polish

sausage, chicken breast, eggs, and rice.  It was great!

 

I ate so much that it began to work against me

for the next segment of the day.  Two coaches

spoke on training the Olympic lifts.  Unfortunately,

lifting and how to do the Olympic lifts is WRONG. 

One of the first styles of training I took on when I

became more interested in strength than

bodybuilding was the Oly lifts, and several of the

main points that I remember from the manuals and

DVD's I purchased back then were in direct

contradiction to what these gentlemen were saying. 
It was very interesting to say the least.

 

About half way through this presentation, I was

pulled away by Bert Sorin, along with Chad Woodall,

Rich Williams, Tex Henderson and Andrew Durniat. 

and Record Breaking part of the day...

 

And that is what I will leave you with for the time

being, .  I will tell you about the rest of

the day when I get home and get the videos edited

and uploaded to YouTube.

 

, some stuff went down in these two

accomplished before and I can't wait to tell you

about them!

 

All the best in your training, and STAY TUNED!
