Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio, featuring The Crew,

where a former pro football player and a D3 All-Star use strength and conditioning

as an excuse to talk about anything but. Now here's John and Tex.

So, Tex, before we get rocking, anything new going on?

Plenty. I mean, Lax is almost over, so I got free time to, I don't know, get writing or pick up a new skill or archery or piano.

What did you think about going down to that black rifle archery challenge?

I mean, that enlightening eye-opening as usual with, I mean, Summerstrong, you always run into those dudes where you're like, okay, I don't have it that hard. Yeah, no, that knock TV thing. That guy puts on those archery challenge. It's pretty amazing. Bird invited me to go. There's one, I think, in Park City and then also in Big Sky. So I guess they do these all over. I got to pull up the dates, but it's something that I should be more involved in. I mean, I do shoot a bow. You know, my stuff's more for hunting, but, you know, setting up 3D targets and creating almost a course here would be super easy to do. I was like, you know, we got that pasture over there that I've never managed. It's got that big fallen oak. And I was like, man, I wonder if we could set up a bunch of

3D targets. I mean, that's a cool. Project. Just add that to the list of projects. Speaking of

projects, I didn't get to train yesterday, did my Monday shadow sets right before this and absolutely fucking smash myself.

So hit my set.

Oh.

Hello.

Oh, yeah, there we go.

Check.

Sorry on the technical difficulties.

But, dude, so I go in to do it.

I know I dropped the kids off at school, had like an hour.

So I came in, hit the bike, hit the hamstrings, did all my prep work.

Super set of the cabs in my warm up on the back squat.

I was using the kabuki bar.

So loaded it up, hit, you know, 135, 225, 275, 315, threw on 365, just figured, hey, you know what, I'll jump in at 405 and I'll see how that is. And if that one's hard, then I'll go up. I fucking... If that one's hard, I'll go up. Yeah. So my goal was to try to hit like, I was thinking like 445, 455 somewhere in there.

I fucking hit the 405, nail 10, put it away, jump in, grab a heavy dumbbell, hit like a set
