If you're lucky, there are people who come along that you meet once and it seems like you’ve known them all your life. Mike and Donna Manning along with JB and Cathy Brown are one of these people. Coming back to Melbourne cemented H2C as the Florida location for our seminars. Their continued support of Starting Strength and their established position at LongDoggers makes it easy to look forward to our next visit. They also happen to have one of the coolest dogs, Bosko, on the planet. Thanks so very much guys! Best of luck next weekend at your meet Mike, let us know how things go.
This weekend highlighted the fact that even though we no longer run these seminars through Crossfit, we continue to meet some of the most amazing people who own or train out of Crossfit gyms. Michelle, who qualified as an alternate for the upcoming Regional’s for the Crossfit games realized that increased strength is going to help her improve on many of her bodyweight exercises should she have the opportunity to compete. She also is considering hitting a local weightlifting meet and is already feeling better bringing her bodyweight back to what she was as a college Volleyball player and staying away from a starvation diet. She gave me an update tonight that her first novice training session today went well!! That, along with her talent at riding the Dervish makes her one, cool, chick!
As I’ve stated before, it’s always a pleasure to see familiar faces and have folks in the group who’ve previously attended the Basic Barbell Seminar. We were able to see Stacey’s MUCH improved coaching style and benefit from AC’s experience as a competitive Power lifter and coach of an impressive barbell crew at Georgia Southern. They were both considerably stronger in their understanding and teachings of the methods we used all weekend than their first seminars they attended and they happen to be two very good dudes who you should call if you are in the Knoxville or Statesboro area and in need of good coaching.
There were also some who were very new to barbell training and clearly much stronger than they thought they were (Damion) and can clearly benefit from the program even if they’ve missed out by training effectively in their 20’s and 30’s (I probably shouldn’t name names-Dan-so I’ll try not to.) I’m looking forward to reading comments from yous guys and we’d love to see some pictures. As always, keep us posted on your lifting and coaching progress along with any meets you have coming up. We know AC will be hitting Junior Nationals this summer, who else has upcoming events?
