"Spring Leaning" team challenge is just around the corner! Please make sure that you are signed up today! The rules and guide line will be posted shortly.

I want you to notice the different angles of the back on these 3 movements. In the Front Squat, the torso is in a more vertical position while the High Bar Squat is slightly angled and the Low Bar Squat even more so… No matter what Squat you are performing, the bar is to travel up and down the mid-line and stay in line with the mid-foot.

(World Camp June 2008)

World Camp Fitness, LLC was founded in June of 2008 on the principle of not specializing in anything but excel in everything. We had one trainer (myself), 800 square feet of workout space and a hand full of equipment. There were many days of 15+ one-on-one training sessions until the point of matching like ability athletes together. Now as I unlock the door each day to our 4,000 sq. ft. facility, I am humbled… Who knows what the future holds?

Have you heard the one about "how many World Campers does it take to change a tire?"

Video of some of the action last weekend in Stone Mountain! All three guys did a great job, we are proud of them all!

To date, the best excuses that I have heard for why people are not able to workout range anywhere from "I don't have time" to "I have a bad back or my knees bother me". Every once in a while I will get the ole "My doctor says to not do…" Well, how about "I have no feeling in the lower half of my body because of being run over by a car!" or maybe you could use Kyle Maynard's "I have no arms or legs!" I have had the absolute pleasure of knowing both Trebor Marble from CrossFit Valdosta and Kyle Maynard of No Excuses CrossFit for a little while now but, this past weekend I was able to see them both compete along side able bodied men. I was blown away at the site of determination of these two individuals! Sure, some accommodations had to be made for them to compete but there was no doubting the "lion hearted" attitude they both possessed. Seeing this was a wake up call for me and the others that were in attendance to never say "I can't." I challenge anyone to give me a better "excuse" than this…

(6pm group hitting it hard!)

Great job to everyone today, you all fought the good fight! I am very proud of you all. It is an amazing thing to see everyone getting PR's on any movement, tonight just happen to be the Push Press. Great job again!!!
