Beginner's Advice

Start by building a foundation. These are the basics: pull-ups, dips, push ups. Follow the 3 steps below for each exercise.

Step #1 Master these basics. When perfecting the form, always remember quality over everything else. (i.e. straight form, controlled, full ROM)

Step #2 Find out how many you can do of each exercise with proper form. This will give you a baseline to work off of and grow from.

Step #3 Set goals, both short-term and long-term (i.e. # of reps, improving form etc.) If you are unable to perform a single rep, your goal may be to perform a static hold at the top of the rep for 10 seconds.

Be relentless, determined, passionate and patient (aka Bar-baric!)

First Annual Bar-Commission Bar-B-Q weekend

was a success! So many people came out and we thank each and everyone of you for making this weekend so special!

It was a beautiful event. Zef, Jude, Rick and Sheriff arrived at 430am Saturday morning, on no sleep, to hold down the tables and didn't leave until 10pm. The next day we hit up TSP. Zef got the FULL PLANCHE HOLD! and then went over to Wingate to finish off the day. Long weekend full of no sleep, plenty of food, tons-o-fun and a whole lot of working out.

This vid is a thank you to all who were there, in person and in spirit.



Special thanks to Andy, Zef, Ana, Jude, Rick, Sheriff, Keith, Anthony, Jeffery, Rob, The Tech family, The Phorm family, The Lois family, The Grevenitis family, Redd, Allison, B-Rock, DOC and many more...

Bar-barians '09

Some action footage from the documentary. Most of the footage was from the May, 25 2009 session at TSP. The rest was from Feb at Wingate. Biggie is 16 years of age. He's Zef's nephew. He came through to show Zef his OAP that he recently attained.
