John Brookfield and Jon Bruney World record feat of strength

I got an email from John Brookfield asking me to pass along this information

On Saturday November 1st in Fairmont North Carolina at 2:00 in the afternoon John Brookfield and Jon Bruney will be pulling a semi-truck a distance of one mile plus using only their physical strength and mental discipline.

This will be a World Record. John Brookfield and Jon Bruney have performed this record feat on several other occasions, however, this time they will be pushing the limits as they increase the poundage of the load and also push themselves to complete the mile course as quickly as possible.

Many are saying that this feat and test may be the greatest physical achievement ever accomplished when it comes to strength and endurance. Come out and witness this event and walk with them as the push themselves to keep the semi-truck moving through the street. For more info on the location or more specifics please contact John Brookfied by email at john@powerropes.com.

We'll be covering the RKC basics and I'll answer any specific questions that come up as well.
Nashville workshops = less travel expense for me so they are always a little lower in price.....

How's that Warrior thing going Dave?

Well. Very well, in fact, thanks for asking.

Last week before departure to CT last thursday I tipped the scale at 267.5lbs. I started at about 276 on the Friday before going headfirst into the WD, which was one day shy of 5 weeks.

Of course the scale is about the lousiest measure of what is really going on with a body. Up until Saturday I was feeling really strong and was puting the hurt on a half dozen or more phonebooks a day in addition to swings, pullups and other Hardstyle excursions.

This cold has whipped my ass for the past few days and I have been over hydrating to be safe. I have also had practically no appetite. This morning I was an even 270lbs. I feel my strength returning, which is good because I gotta go to Texas and St. Paul back-to-back weekends very soon.

Conratulations

Congratulations to the newly promoted Senior RKC instructors:
Shaun Cairns, Jon Engum, Brad Nelson, Doug Nepodal, and Will Williams
And new Team Leaders -
Cortez Hull, Dan John, Peter Lakatos, and Jeremy Layport
I am excited to work with you at future RKCs.

UPDATE:
My cold is releasing it's grasp on me. I have spent most of the last 3 days in a Thera-Flu induced coma. Today I am sniffly, but better. I'll prbably train a little tomorrow.

Triple Skillet Roll

My first attempt at the 3-in-1 roll up, in front of probably 150 people at the Ryan Lee Bootcamp Friday night social.

There was no beer available, all they had was Budweiser, so I had to say "Hold my wine and watch this".

I learned this from Dennis Rogers. You can too, if you click HERE.
