Hanging Out With the Rubberband Man

 

 

This past weekend, we had an incredible opportunity to host a seminar for the Rubberband Man, Dave Schmitz of Performax Performance Training, at our Gutterfighting home base with Scott Shetler Performance Training Systems.  It was a fantastic and engaging two days with so much important material to absorb on resistance band training, or RBT!  My head is still spinning and I am very sore from learning techniques to become what Dave calls “butt strong”.  Dave brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.  Not only has he been a physical therapist for 23 years, he trains athletes and weekend warriors alike and is avid about training himself and experimenting with all the techniques he presents.  As he will tell you, everything he shows you, HE DOES.  Everything he teaches can help anyone, from grandma to the elite athlete, improve functional movement.  Humans were designed to move, and especially walk, he explains.  I believe there is joy in movement–movement without pain, that is!

If you ever have the opportunity to see Dave in action, seize it.  Check him out:

Saturday’s Kettlebell Seminar, 8-23-08

 

 

The Gutterfighters (that’s what we are at heart, after all!) of Combat Hard Fitness & Fighting put on a seminar at Gold’s Gym in Dacula.  In attendance were a physical therapist, a general fitness client, and trainers learning to use these awesome little implements with their clients.  We, of course, use them quite a bit for strength and conditioning, too.  We would like to thank all the participants who joined us and made this day a success.  Everyone worked hard and learned a lot.  We hope they get out there and whip folks into some serious shape!
