Happy Friday!  Welcome to the Iron Made Gym Newsletter.  Our goal with this production is to share information with our unique community that will help you reach your goals. 

We have covered before the JM Press and a dumbbell or bar rollback to build your triceps effectively, today we want to cover the extension using the new yoke bar.  Detach the handle from the yoke bar to start with.  Similar to the JM press, your first motion will be to drive your elbows tightly toward your feet, allow the pads to meet your chest then roll the bar back to end at your throat, roll back up then press up and lockout to finish the movement.  Try this and let us know how you like it!

We are committed to offering free personal training sessions two times a week, and we promote these via our social media platforms.

Until next time Iron Made Community.

Happy Friday!  Welcome to the Iron Made Gym Newsletter.  Our goal with this production is to share information with our unique community that will help you reach your goals.

We have recently added a new piece of equipment called the SS Yoke bar from Elite FTS.  Some key features of this bar include:  65 pounds empty bar weight, wide and thick padding allowing for wider weight disbursement which places less pressure on your spine and neck, bent pendulum ends which allows the weight to adjust through your movement creating a straighter pattern through a squat and front loaded weight during good morning/back extension motions, handles that allow you to spot yourself, and detachable handles so the bar can be used for tricep extensions.  Try it out and let us know what you think!

We have recently added a new piece of equipment called the manta ray.  This small piece of formed plastic is snapped onto a bar and used during squatting.  This piece offers the following benefits:  high bar positioning, increased distance from the hips which overloads the upper/lower back as well as the quads, and the increased surface area provided by this device gives many lifters a more comfortable experience.  Try it out and let us know what you think! 

I recently finished a book by one of my favorite authors, Patrick Lencioni, The Ideal Team Player.  There are three virtues of the ideal team player: 

Humble:

• the single greatest and most indispensable attribute of being a team player.
• quick to point out the contributions of others and slow to seek attention for their own
•  they share credit, emphasize team over self, and define success collectivity rather than individuality

Hungry:

• almost never have to be pushed by a manager to work harder because they are self-motivated and diligent
• always looking for more to do, learn, and take on

Smart:

• refers to a person’s common sense about people
• has everything to do with the ability to be interpersonally appropriate and aware
• aware of what is happening in a group situation and how to deal with others in the most effective way
• they ask good questions, listen to what others are saying, and stay engaged in conversations intently

What makes humble, hungry, and smart powerful and unique is not the individual attributes themselves, but rather the required combination of all three.
