{Guest Post}- Life Lessons Powerlifting Has Taught Me

I've got my third, and probably final week of paternity leave covered by a gentleman that I used to Coach!

Total full-circle moment here. Love it.

Chaz Maclay is a native of northern Vermont. He's an Exercise Science major at Northern Vermont University (nerd alert) and a savage of a human being competitive powerlifter with multiple state, regional, universe, national records.

As his once-upon-a-time Coach, I take full credit.

Kidding, kidding.

But really, Chaz has worked incredibly hard to get to where he is now, has earned his success, and I am honored (and thankful) that he reached out with an awesome guest post for us all this week.

Thanks Chaz!

What the hell does that mean? Strength Training Edition

I found myself talking to a friend of mine not too long ago and we were making fun of the industry. Specifically, how so many Personal Trainers like to use the science jargon relating to exercise to their audience on social media, and presumably, their clients as well.

It makes me giggle when Personal Trainers start talking about force-velocity curves, synergistic muscle tendencies, citing the epimysium of the muscle belly, and so forth.
