[...] just started adding weight to my pull ups and chins this week, so I love this inspirational video of a women doing pull ups with a weights vest which Tony Gentilcore has shared. The anecdote about the woman “caught” deadlifting in her [...]

I think people are scared of me when I say I had a PR on the trap bar @ 225 for reps! Women scream, men cower, children are kept indoors. Watch out! It’s Mighty Mom! She’s 51, she’s jacked and she’s taking numbers. I am a proud card-carrying client at CP, and I am proud of that fact. I love it when I can take an old couch out to the curb holding one end with no real problem, the end my 17 year old son just put down cuz it’s heavyyyyyy….what?

Zach,

The racks ARE from elitefts, and I’m 93% sure that they’re the collegiate ones.

Also, thanks for chiming in Carrie and Natalie——-CP is proud to have you two as clients!

Hey Tony (or anyone else) can you tell my where you got the power racks in the top two video’s? They look close to the EliteFTS collegiate rack but not exactly the same. I have been looking for another rack with those monkey bar chinup bars. Thanks in advance.

**Thanks Tony for the solid analysis; I completely agree and that’s why I was so upset about it! I mean, I can handle it…but two years ago I would have crapped my pants and gone riiiiight back to the hamstermill. I did speak with the manager regarding the irony of their approach to instilling “judgement free” zones; but do recognize that I have to adhere to policy…aka NOT GOING BACK THERE! I understand completely trying to discourage people from being complete jerks in the gym - it IS intimidating; however, I think that seeing people attempt to get stronger and challenge themselves is always good to see. I always get so psyched up when I see a woman in the weight room really pushing herself! I am lucky to have found an environment that encourages camaraderie among women attempting to…well…just be awesome. :) Hooray CP!!

I saw a brief exchange between Pink when she was on Oprah…………..She mentioned doing PX90 (strike 1), and then said she had to stop because she was getting bulky )strike 2) and now simply runs for extended durations (strike 3)……………..I almost threw a dumbbell through the gym TV when I heard that. With the massive audience the Big O (sorry Oscar Robertson) has, it’s disturbing to hear this type of stuff casually propagated, since it genuinely scares a lot of everyday ladies away from stuff that can only benefit them.

You just gotta shake the haters off.

Sometimes, shake really really hard.

I know this isn’t the point of the article, but i wish that video kept going to see what that guy’s face looks like after it gently caressed those dumbbells in order to break his fall…

DL’g should be allowed at all gyms… Not our fault if we know more than your “trainers”…
