presumably, topics would mostly include lifting and implement training, often at VCU's new rec center as well as The Weight Room, a local powerlifting and strongman facility.
If you are a VCU student and interested, check it out on facebook.
I tried to have Mark tape me doing our own benchmark workout, "One Gross WOD" It's a great workout that looks simple enough, 15-12-9 of push ups, med ball cleans, pull ups and the kettlebell swing (24kg/16kg). The first time I tried it I hit 7:13 and that record stayed up until one Mark Maddux came to visit the gym and knocked it out in 6:30 or so. His pushups were like rapid fire pistons. I was sure no one would beat that time.
Then my client Matt Bahen goes at it for his second time, and I tell him: "Just don't stop. Never quit mid set, just keep moving." He hits 5:56, and now I am sure that without maybe butterfly kips or something like that, there's no way that this can be done any faster.
My goal was to hit 5:55. I told myself the same thing; 'Don't stop'. I paused in the rack up top in two or three of my med ball cleans. That was about it.
Here's the vid: well... here's my last five swings and me sucking air...
