I have begun a workout log by video and am posting many of my sessions up on my YouTube Channel. I call this series Fire Walk with Me, because I am a huge fan of the early 90′s series Twin Peaks, and Fire Walk with Me was a movie they made about the series later on after the series ended.

Plus Fire Walk with Me just sounds freakin’ cool!

So, if you haven’t subscribed yet, make sure you do. I have been fielding lots of questions in the comments and by email regarding how I implement grip into the main workout and how to train for it specifically, as well as other stuff.

Hey everybody. Jedd here.

Hopefully some of you got the chance to catch our live UStream Feed yesterday from my Garage Gym here in PA. The gym’s been finished since April, but we haven’t been able to schedule anything where all the guys could make it down until now.

Smitty, Eli, Brad and Brian all made it down. Also Joe Hashey and his brother Pat came down.

We started our squats about 9:30. Even early in the morning it was already hot in the garage. Eli went through like a half dozen shirts I think. We squatted outside the cage with spotters. It was nice having people there to spot me. It gave me more confidence considering the back tweaks I have been having. I actually loaded the bar up to 315 to feel the weight again. We did an intermediate stance, not narrow high bars, but not wide sumo stance with the bar lower either. It was in the middle and felt pretty good.

Yo everybody.

We are streaming the very first Live Workout from my new gym today.

Tons of dudes are slated to be here today: Smitty, Brad, Brian, Joe Hashey and his brother, and two local dudes that we have trained with over the years, the Rockwell boys.

That all starts out at 9 and that’s just the first workout.

I’ve also got some grip dudes coming down at noon. Brent Barbe is making the drive from out by Pittsburgh, John Eaton is coming down, and the rumor is Frank Snyder is going to crawl out from under his rock an hour and half away. He is going to stop my ass in grippers and then I am going to kick his because he lives so freakin’ close but never comes by to train!

I am psyched, y’all.

Now, remember we are streaming all of this. I have no idea how to do that, but Smitty is going to set it up when he gets here so when we are all set, just click the link below:

Until that gets ready, check out the evolution of my gym: Jedd’s Home Gym

I am happy to announce that my new garage gym is complete. Check out this video for a quick tour of the new facility.

I have had several workouts in this facility and let me tell you – it is SSSSOOOOOOOOOO nice to be able to do overhead work. The near 10-foot ceiling is great. With the weather breaking, I have also been able to do plenty of prowler work. Been jumping rope each day and have been hitting tons of grip. It has been great.

Look for an upcoming UStream with several dudes over here in the gym training the grip big time!

All the best in your training,

-Jedd-

Everything is coming together nicely. Lots of progress has been made recently. Before I show you what it’s looking like these days, have a look at what I have been training i n for the last two or three years!

Getting home from the Fitness Business Summit has been a lengthy project in itself.

All the best in your training,
