ABC question

[Scott Sonnon]

In just my first few weeks of working with my first Clubbell® (a mere 10lb), I have noticed a striking increase in both grip/ forearm strength and shoulder stability. The increase in shoulder stablility has proved invaluable when performing grinding exercises with a kettlebell.
I can't wait to see the benefits of integrating ABC into my training.

I am going to start with the 25 instead of the 45. I'm sure the 25 will be enough to smoke me. I can't wait. :wink:

Congratulations on your progress! The Heavy Class Clubbell® is beautiful agony! :twisted:

Have you noticed any postural changes. I find I'm not slouching that much since starting ABC.

I absolutely have noticed a postural change. It seems that instead of needing to remind myself to keep my shoulders back, it just happens automatically. And just as important is the fact that it feels natural and not a forced position.

Exactly! I love the fact that I no longer walk like a bulldog!

I have never really had a problem with my standing or walking posture (damn that Army), it has always been my sitting posture that was lacking. My lower back has been stiff on occasion for the last few years, but since I started training with the clubbells (and this may have something to do with the improved posture) the problem has lessened dramatically. And I sleep like a log to boot!

Actually I noticed that I was sleeping a lot better the other day!

My pitt, Dozer is wondering why I'm looking at him and laughing right now. Thanks for the funny visual Mike.

LOL! It was worse last year when I was around 200 lbs. I took my dog (Siberian Husky) to the pet store to get him some food and this woman with a bulldog comes over and says "You should get a dog like this because you walk just like him!" :shock:

On my way home I kept looking at my reflection in store mirrors trying to see what she meant and I noticed that I really slouched a lot and I didn't really move my arms that much either. Combine that with my stocky build and super thick neck and you've got the first chinese/irish/canadian/two legged BULLDOG!!
