Back to the DIRTY JERZ!

Well, I just noticed its been over a week since I posted here. No use crying over it. I'm back.

Back from the Dirty Jerz. On thursday morning, last week, I made a dumb-dumb move and drove to Toronto. (More on why it was dumb later) From Toronto, I jumped aboard what would later be dubbed the "canadianwrestlingbus.com" with a couple of other strength coaches and we made a b-line for New Jersey.

The itinerary for the next three days looked like this:
-Arrive at our hotel in Park Ridge NJ aprox 2am friday morning
-Wake up @ 5am in order to watch a Football team work-out at Bergen Catholic High School
-Visit Defranco's gym to watch an NFL conditioning session at noon, and hit up some strongman training afterwards.
-Leave Defranco's and drive south to Edison to visit Zach Even-Esh's undergroundstrengthgym.com

-Saturday 8am, attend the "All Pro" training seminar. Presenters included: Jerry Palmeiri (NY Giants), Jeff Mangold (NY Yankees), Reg Grant (NY Rangers), Buddy Morris (Pittsburgh University), James Smith (Pittsburgh University), Lon Record (Villanova Basketball)

All I'm going to say about the seminar is that Buddy Morris and James Smith are without a doubt 2 of the best minds in the business. These guys melted our faces off with super solid info and could've went on much longer. And Lon Record was pretty decent too.
And that was it.

-Sunday, wake up and make the extremely long drive back.

We crammed a lot of great stuff into a very short time. It felt like I was gone for a week.

I will be posting up details about each event of the weekend over the next few days.

Stay tuned
