Pavel, my mentors, teachers, colleagues, students, friends, and last but not least my wife Justyna: thank you for your trust, support, teaching, friendship and love - a true blessing.

I promise to bear our shield with honor, and work hard to make the world STRONGER - and better place. Congrats to Jeremy, my brother in Strength!

I am because we are - StrongFirst!

Today's practice:

- StrongFirst RESILIENT

As I wrote before, I am in China. My brother's wife has a 16 kg bell, good!

StrongFirst RESILIENT has a detailed block dedicated to hanging exercises - and interestingly, they are very popular in China. Yesterday we witness many senior folks in the park/playground (for adults!) just hang on the bar, swing back and forth, rotate side to side, etc. Some older ladies in their 60s or 70s were hanging for 2 minutes and more - very impressive. No wonder their posture is very young, and they have no shoulders and spine issues.
 
Today's practice: China Trip - The Naked Warrior/SFB Program Minimum

  • One-arm pushups
  • Pistols
GTG, sets of 3

Plus many, many hours in the park and on the roof, training with Dang Sifu (over 70 years young) and my friend David.
