Hey Michael- Any update on a Super Medium program to be released?

Best one yet. Always love when you reference Dr. K and this is the post that will make me buy a sandbag finally (even tho I have a 35 lb screaming child 😂)

Yes...this is very timely with The Starrett's "The Ambush" newsletter and throwing stuff. Maybe we will get some "horking " in the August Burn the Ships.

Oops and my question: how heavy of a sandbag do I want?

Another point is that gym exercises typically

work in one plane. Farm work includes a lot of rotation (throwing hay) that is missed in modern practice.

Well written. Especially with what Dr. K stated. Pavel Tsatsouline from Strongfirst mentions a Russian experiment where scientists took strong farmers and tried to convert them to Olympic lifters. The experiment didn’t work well.
