So, here’s the deal. TCS is growing and we need more able-bodied, smart, passionate, hard-working coaches to help handle the new demands. Luckily, Sean just happened to fall in our lap about a month ago and showed a great deal of interest in coaching at TCS, so we gave him our requirements and he has been checking the boxes like a man on a mission. He is currently navigating the TCS Internship process and if he keeps crushing things like he has been, Sean will be one of the TCS Coaches bringing the good stuff to y’all.
Sean is a great guy and very easy to talk with. If you see him around the gym, introduce yourself and get to know him a bit. You’ll immediately notice his excitement with just being in the TCS environment and, really, just his passion for living a strong fulfilling life. Is energy is infectious in the very best way.
Now, one of our goals is to bring more content your way. This will be both in the form of blogs and videos (vlogs). The video below is the very first offering. As you’ll see, we discuss the benefits and value of investing in kegs for the use of training - whether on your own in your garage, at a park or at your gym that may need some persuading.
Kegs offer the following:
They are relatively inexpensive
Extremely versatile
They are durable and easy to replace IF they break
You can easily collect several kegs that then offer differing weights and, therefore, even more versatility
Are a great substitute for sandbags and atlas stones
All the benefits of training with an odd object
Realistic strength requirements
Problem solving
Generally more challenging to manipulate
Improved mobility
In this first video we will also cover the proper way to perform a front-loaded keg carry. Carrying heavy stuff is as basic as it gets, but the ROI on this stuff is massive. After watching this short demo, you’ll be able to immediately perform carries with more proficiency and, in turn, get more bang for your buck.
And remember, we will be bringing you a lot more (hopefully) useful content going forward, so stay tuned for that! If you have topics that you’d like us to cover, don’t hesitate to contact us via email or instagram. We would love to help you with some of the things you’re interested in learning more about.
