Absorb Everything

Jocelyn warms up her shoulder while waiting to be discovered by Hollywood.

You never know where you might find something useful for your training.

At CFLG, two champion powerlifters lift in the Cage.  I like to stretch and foam roll near where they are lifting.  Sure, I can ask them any question I want and [...]

The boys PR.

Well, I have to admit that I felt old all day yesterday.  Joints creaked, my step felt leaden, my daughter said that my English was antiquated.  I just felt, well, middle aged I guess. In between serenading me with the Beatles’ Birthday, Emily gleefully asked me questions like “can I officially call [...]

Thanks again [...]

The Games Spirit

Lee and Lori, owners of CF Sunshine Coast. Thanks for working out with us.
