Baby Got Back…or Hips anyway…

“HIPS!” You always hear us saying that. Developing hip strength is the core to developing elite athleticism. In any full-body movement, the hips are the central source of power. The strongest muscles surround the hips, and muscle strength diminishes progressively as you move further from them. A shapely buttocks is typically a strong buttocks, and a strong buttocks generally means a strong person. So if you want to decide at a glance whether a person is capable of sprinting and jumping after large prey, and then carrying it home, the rump is a good place to look.

So start checking out butts and you’ll be able to tell just how athletically capable a person is. Guys, “I was just checking out your athletic abilities” is unlikely to work with the ladies though. But if you find one that it does work with, she’s a keeper. Read more about the roll of strong hips on Modern Forager…

You guys still going to have your 5 and 6 oclock classes on Halloween? I’ll make this one up Friday or Saturday depending… I dont think the shoulder could take pull ups today.

my old PE coach in highschool use to tell us all the time that Emmitt Smith is the only NFL player that could do that youtube video exercise by touching the ground with his nose and raising himself back up. he use to do all kinds of crazy leg workouts apparently that no one else could do…

i wish youtube wasnt blocked at work…

Ray, you are a genius, coordinating last night’s music to emphasize the importance of strong hips, especially when you are up in the club
