Hey Gang! For those of you new to the community Friday is about personally and as a community celebrating wins. There is no win too small & I believe that it’s important to celebrate both personal & professional wins. Here’s mine for the week. We added 5-6 new members this week! I’m really excited to see all of you here! As I mentioned in an earlier post @Jerry Rivera and I have been working really hard on next weeks challenge & I think it’s going to be a good one! This week I did my first Nordic Hamstring Curl in about 1.5 years. Here’s video of me working on them in ‘22 and then the one this week. When I first started doing them my hamstrings would cramp because they were so weak. I’m going to bring the height up on the bench a little and work on doing 2-3 in a row. Drop your wins in the comments or post them in the community. Can’t wait to see what you all have been up to!

I had 2 realizations from this weeks Q&A: I have a core strength issue, but since I started doing strength training I don’t have the numbness and tingling in my forearms and hands! I went to a Barre class this week and my calves, hamstrings and hips are so much stronger than they were last summer when I did this class.

Hey Forge Fam! Hope you are all having a great Thanksgiving weekend. Today is Friday & I don’t want to break tradition, so here are my wins this for the past week. 1st win- Erica is a runner/triathlete & started working with us in late August. She’s been battling Achilles' pain for the past 4 years & it was so bad she couldn’t run a mile w/out paying for it later Shes a PT & been to everyone around Metro Detroit. Unfortunately for her what really happened was she was seeing a lot of talented people but no one developed a plan & then stuck with her through it. We’ve been gradually building up her pain free mileage over the past 4-6 weeks and she really wanted to run the Turkey Trot with her daughter yesterday. Happy to say she was able to do it & had no pain! 2nd win- Had a super chill Thanksgiving w/Melissa & Gabe. Made a great ham and a ton of sides to go with it. Very pleased w/how everything turned out. 3rd win- Around the holidays we have an open mat with all of the affiliate schools around the Twin Cities. I meant to roll/train for an hour and it wound up being more like 1:15 of straight training. I can remember a time not long ago when I couldn’t do that without being concerned about back or knee pain. What are your wins for this week? Share your wins either in the comments or make your own post!

🏃‍♂️ Got back to running after being sick for almost a week about 2 weeks ago (felt sooo good to move again). 📝 Most of the tasks for the 5-Day Challenge Project are done — we’re almost ready to roll! 🎂 Spent a great weekend with my family celebrating my nephew’s 2nd birthday. Lots of food, laughs, and toddler chaos. 😂 Feeling grateful today.🦃 Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
