Hey it`s Nate here with Jackhammer Strength Training. I have been in the trenches lifting, learning, and training for 23 years, owned my own gym for over 6 years, am an Amateur Strongman, Amateur Australian Rules Football player, and former strength and conditioning coach for an amateur team. Why am I telling you all of this? Because I am ready to take on you and your team as training clients.
What can you expect from team training? Results, accountability, learning new lifts, fitness challenges. If someone needs to get stronger they will get stronger, if someone needs more power they will get more power, if someone needs to lose weight they will lose weight. I can help you and your team mates reach their physical potential.
Team training at Jackhammer will be less than 8 people. We have several time slots available but could potentially add more. We use barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, strongman implements, and resistance bands. We follow 23 different training systems to create one huge system. Is it like Crossfit? No, we are not like Crossfit we do not run very much, we do not use rowing machines, we do not do kipping pullups, we definitely do have some similarities though.
Why do I think I can help you and your team? Success stories that`s why and this is what I do. Jill was an Ironman Triathlete who joined our small group training classes she could not train very often as she was very busy trying to become an orthopedic surgeon. Jill came in twice a week for a year and qualified for Nationals in Half Ironman while training considerably less. Bridget dropped 60 pounds and went from 0 to 40 pushups.
My personal records include a 514 pound hex bar deadlift, 27 pullups at 205, and a 700 pound rack pull. Unless you are playing at the professional level or very high college level you most likely have not reached your potential. I can help you reach your potential.
Potential team training times include 515 am, 7am, 930 am, 330 pm, and 630 pm.

Just because I can does not mean that I should!
The Crossfit Open 16.1 is happening. Their are over 8,000 Crossfit gyms in the world and probably over 200,000 people will do the 16.1 workout. I can do this workout but that does not mean that I should. The 16.1 for a man includes walking lunges with a 95 pound bar overhead 8 burpees, 8 chest to bar pullups, and the walking lunges with the 95 pound bar again. You do as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. Yes I know I can do this and I could probably get 6 rounds. But will it make my life better? No. Will it get me closer to my goals? No.
These are not the reasons though that I should not do this workout. The reason I should not do this workout is that lunges hurt and not in a good way. Lunges really hurt my left knee. I can lunge but I should not lunge. This is why I will not be doing the 16.1.
My workout today will make me better, will make me stronger, will not leave me so sore that I cannot function properly the next few days, and most importantly get me ready for Australian Rules Football season. You see the workouts that hammerheads do not only make you ready for anything but they really do make you resilient against injury and sickness.
Case in point I get sick about once a year. In my 8 years of playing arguably the most dangerous sport in the world I have only had two real injuries a bruised rib and a minor torn mcl and these were both before I started Jackhammer Strength Training and developed all of my training systems.
My workout today will consist of:
Zercher squats
Bench Press Lock Outs
Weighted Dips
Light Barbell Military Presses probably 3 sets of 8
for cardio 20-10 rounds on the:
airdyne bike
hitting the heavy bag
a jump variation
fast short range motion pushups
If you are going to do the 16.1 and the rest of the Crossfit Open good luck. This is almost certainly going to be the easiest of the Open. If you would like something with more variety and more emphasis on the power lifts as opposed to the Olympic lifts come on in for a free week of small group training at Jackhammer Strength Training located at 3002 McKinley Ave. Columbus, Oh 43204 very close to Upper Arlington, Grandview, and Hilliard.
