Train Biceps Smarter, Not Just Harder 💪🏾
In this 2-minute video, I break down one of the most overlooked training tools: tempo.⏰
🗣️I demonstrate a simple biceps curl combo using a resistance tube—but you can use cans, bottles, dumbbells or a ball. Seated or standing. No gym required.
✅ Accessible, joint-friendly, and effective
🎯It’s not just about reps or weight—it’s about how you move. Let’s train with purpose.

New is playing with a unicycle for warmup. I haven't really been on one in years. (Did get on one briefly when they were unpacked the other day though. Also attempted to climb up on the giraffe uni that day, that was an adventure!)
A lot of what I'm doing is still getting myself up to speed, recovering from overusing a shoulder while in recovery from surgery. Tonight's focus is that recovery work, and hand balance.

Caturday Clean-Grip Push Press 🐾🏋🏽♂️
I’m 51, with over 20 years in the #fitness industry—and I still love training for power (speed × strength). One of my favorite moves: the clean-grip push press.⚡️
🐈⬛But before the barbell moves, safety comes first—even if it’s just a cat toy in the way.
🎯Power training isn’t just for athletes or the young. There are variations to meet every age and ability. Train smart. Train strong. Train with purpose.
Holy shit, you want a serious workout for strengthening the calves?
After messing up my knee, the PT told me that since I danced tango in high heels, I should do single-leg heel raises (other foot on a chair) holding 5 pounds in each hand, 25 reps.
One of my tango teachers says to do heel raises, counting to 6 up and 6 down.
So, I just did…I don't know, maybe 10 reps? however many I could manage… one-leg, 5 pounds per hand, 6 count up, 6 count down.
WOW

I shouldn’t run 40 miles the day before I get the blood drawn…
…unless I tell my doctor about the run *before* they see the results. 😆
