Well, here it is, the first installment of a regular Friday post that I’m calling “Freestyle Friday”.
.
Basically, on Fridays, I’m going to mix things up a bit from the normal Smarter Strength & Conditioning concepts in favor of something a little more fun and entertaining. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Strength & Conditioning stuff. But, there is nothing wrong with talking about other things of interest like good music, movies, articles and anything else I’ve come across that week. I mean, there is much more to life than just training!
.
So, lets kick things off with a music recommendation. If you are like me, you are always looking for cool new tunes to listen to while training.
.
Music on Performance U Playlist
.
Band – Flaw
.
Style of Music of Flaw – Hard Rock
.
Recommended songs from Flaw - My letter, Best I Am, Not Enough, Recognize, All the Worst, Final Cry, Paycheck.
.
Here is a music video for one of my favorite Flaw songs – “My Letter”. The video is a bootleg but you can still listen the song just fine! Enjoy!

Iraqi’s Suck At Jumping Jacks
.
These videos made me laugh. It seems the average Iraqi man is not naturally blessed with much body awareness or coordination.
.
.
.
It also seems that these Iraqi’s could use a few of my Warm Up Progressions DVDs. Check this video out!

I like to consider myself a student of human body. I’ve love anything and everything that teaches my about the human body.

Sick Puppies – You’re Going Down

Disturbed – Down With the Sickness
Drowning Pool – Bodies
I’m like a heroin addict when it comes to workout music. I first started on the lighter stuff like Guns N Roses, Rancid, NOFX, then got into the heavier stuff. System of a Down, Misfits (fast stuff is killer), Metalocolypse. I’m liking a little more hardcore punk like Exploited.
Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to do these lunges
By popular demand, here’s one of my favorite videos of late, the illustrious WEST VIRGINA NINJA!
Tried to paste the video into the comment but I guess it didn’t work….
Well, here’s the link anyway:
