The Bucks County Physical Culture and Barbell Club – our first meetup!

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

I am on a mission to bring back the methods and mindset of the old-school Physical Culture back to where it belongs.  

Here’s why: 

Performance-enhancing drugs has set Exercise Science BACK 40-50 years because they have influenced MOST programs that people follow today.  Is it any wonder that most people are not happy with their results?  They are following programs that really only work if you are on steroids.

How did people train BEFORE steroids existed? 

THAT is what you need to learn - if you ever hope to attain the type of health, fitness and performance you desire.

Especially since THOSE methods still work so much better than anything else out there today.

And that is what I began to teach with my NEW group – The Bucks County Physical Culture and Barbell Club.  Anyone can join and it’s FREE.

 

Here are some pictures of our FIRST meeting:

We’re getting started and I’m handing out the agendas..

Introducing myself and getting the discussion started. I am very excited and raring to go!

I stared by stating this SIMPLE Reality:

1. The Problem: Every year health & fitness indicators get worse…
2. The Solution: Every year we have more and more fitness & diet “solutions”…
3. The Result?: See #1…

Hmmm…does anyone see a problem here? We live in an age where there are MORE fitness books, diet books, DVD’s, videos, audio programs than ever existed before….WHY aren’t they helping?

I know why….and I shared it with the group.

So far everyone’s listening…good!

PCBC 5

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting into some serious myth-busting and trying to convince the group the importance of taking the “red pill” – how most of the exercise methods of today confuse and disrupt the body making it very difficult to attain the results they want. And which methods of exercise does the body UNDERSTAND the best and will work the quickest in delivering maximum results.

Listening to someone ASK a great question…very good!

PCBC 7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Giving a brief demo on the super beneficial swinging exercises that can be done with the Indian Clubs. An old-school tool that still works better than many machines and exercises today when used properly.

PCBC 10

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now getting everyone into the act! Warming people up for some basic assessments and exercises that will demonstrate to each their own body’s muscle imbalances, compensation patterns, neuromuscular deficiencies and bio-individuality.

PCBC 13

 

 

 

 

 

 

Explaining WHY they all felt what they felt during the exercises, why it was very different for each of them and what they need to fix it, if needed.

 PCBC 14

Explaining basic core function and how the nervous system fires the muscles of the body from the ‘inside-out’. How it all relates to the way their bodies will perform any exercise. And how the original Physical Culture method of exercise worked the body in a balanced and proper way.

PCBC 16

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Closing out our FIRST meeting and Thanking them all for attending. Everyone was excited for our future meetings, and hopefully with more people too!
