What an incredible day we had yesterday!

We raised over $10,000 for Task Force Dagger Fund.

Go here to read about it, or if  you would like to make a donation to this fund.

I will be posting footage from the event each day as I go through it.

As usual, all of our Training Room participants kicked ass!

Congrats to Training Room members, Bryan Morgan and Erin Brinew for placing first in the male and female categories!!

At the end of the event, we arranged for a Black Hawk Helicopter to land on Avon Beach.

A Special Forces Team from Fort Bragg, NC jumped out of the air craft.

If you’re looking for some fun events to compete in rather then just running some boring 5k race, you may want to check out some of the things we have planned.

First off, The Warrior Challenge is July 17th.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go here to read about it.

We raised about $7,000 for the Special Ops Warrior Foundation last year.

Next, The Milkman and I are masterminding the Jersey Shore Kettlebell/Body Weight Team Relays.

This will be a fun competition for anyone who wants to join.

Our friends Pamela and Jason of Kettlebell Athletics will be joining us for this friendly competition which will be followed up by a court yard BBQ and possibly a jump in the ocean.

We’re not unveiling the complete details yet, but let’s just say that the event will consist of 5 person teams and be done relay style.

Hints!

• Make sure one of your teammates can run fast
• Make sure one of your teammates can do lots of kettlebell snatches
• Make sure one of your teammates can do lots of burpees quickly
• Make sure one of your teammates can do lots of kettlebell jerks
• Make sure one of your teammates is a pull up master
• Make sure all of you are good at walking or running with kettlebells……oh no, not again!!!

This event is August 15.

I’ll be back with more details as this thing evolves!

After the Jon Hinds yoga seminar, we spent some time messing around on the pull up tower.

I suppose this can be considered a pull up mastermind.

If you are looking for a blueprint on this tower, I just posted it on our member site.
