The School of HARDKNOX presented by HARDKNOX Strength & Performance

We back from vacation and super excited to get back at it! This episode we speak a little on what we learned during vacation, how we got inspired by the culture, and a little bit on worry/complaining can negatively impact our lives. Good to be back, hope y'all enjoy! Peace.

The huff and puff that goes on during a workout is more than just you being tired. It is systems in the body working at full capacity! This feeling is spicy and makes us want to quit but learning how to control it can beneficial to your fitness. Lets learn how to tame the beast! 

We all squat, deadlift, and carry things all the time. As humans we will encounter obstacle's that challenge our mechanics. We usually pay more attention to these movements in the gym but they are around us all the time! We speak our opinions on these movements, give tips, and discuss how to improve these skills. #HK #GETSTRETCHY

Here we speak about how the Brownsville gym community made it through the pandemic and the lessons it showed us. We also give our opinions on youth training and how it can actually be very beneficial when done properly. 

On this episode we speak on accountability and how we can start to build awareness. Sometimes we can be blind to the way we act, what we say, our actions, and that can lead us down a road of being less likely to achieve our higher selves. We also touch up on the team comp (competition tips) and how to navigate through tough days in and outside of the gym.  #HK #HKFamilia #GETSTRETCHY

Episode 5 touches up on how the memorial day WOD went and how to recovery properly to make the week a little easier on the body. We also pay respect to the man himself Dr. K! We also touch up on what DOMS is and how we can control that.  #HARDKNOX #HKfamilia #GETSTRETCHY

This episode Coach Rod speaks on his experience with the team at the Sorinex live event. He touches up on some key moments that he took to heart and how the team bond grew. We also speak on intensity levels and how to vary that across the week to keep our bodies healthy and when it is ok to scale. Much love. Peace. #HARDKNOX #GETSTRECHY

On this episode we speak on the importance of mindset and how it can carry over into all aspects of life. We can have a big push in the gym but what about out in life? Can we learn to see things from a different perspective? We share some of our opinions on this topic along with tips on how it can be used to become a better human being from some of our own organic experiences. #HKfamilia #getstretchy #mindset #bettertogether 

This episode introduces the topic of culture. What is it? How is it established? How did HK culture begin? 

We also shout out and recognize those in our community who are apart of the fitness culture and encourage them to continue the journey with us!
