I want all of the individuals who come through the program to recognize and celebrate their individual greatness. As a result of the desire for all in the program to reach for greatness, I want to ensure that the equipment they use in our space is also of the same standard. Today is bar maintenance day so I can be sure that participants have the best bars that I can provide. Bars are meant to spin and ours go round and round and round!!!

Our lifters were fortunate enough to run through a Powerlifting specific bench press seminar and utilize the competition benches at Arctic Strength. this is an awesome place to get strong! it has a nice community feel that allows everyone to feel welcome. We are blessed to have them coming to LCI to further and finish their PL seminar with Squat and Deadlift on Monday. These guys are passionate and knowledgeable about their lifting and it shows in how they worked with the group. Big thanks and shout out to them. <p></p><p>IG: maxhallfitness</p><p>IG: brandonlyfts</p><p>IG: arctic.strength <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL6I3WACYAV9WJzt8lULQ9BKxDD25ARtXK20W2Co01fTpFR9pmApXm0GEsGQnv-Ioio1l6-gHJeE-MWJ1DoFYZ1uB2YVsEXjJ87HaqPbrNli_jUtlbrKIbbTqE3PiD5sbF7BIepZhmc6sW8NzDbxq3jbnWQ2EgQU0GQgYOXKTDKfVyeH205igCjrz0Cnn9/s4032/IMG_0147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL6I3WACYAV9WJzt8lULQ9BKxDD25ARtXK20W2Co01fTpFR9pmApXm0GEsGQnv-Ioio1l6-gHJeE-MWJ1DoFYZ1uB2YVsEXjJ87HaqPbrNli_jUtlbrKIbbTqE3PiD5sbF7BIepZhmc6sW8NzDbxq3jbnWQ2EgQU0GQgYOXKTDKfVyeH205igCjrz0Cnn9/s320/IMG_0147.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Vqu2G9bStrfnzDQUhAZIwYtyHBus-ROYy3-HE9t2KHL_K_LRU4z2xdyQHwHaEKIYvS4iqwY7beixzM8NVjvYw9DrnZQntbLYAW_4OE0y2WpoUZhpROKPFAMEmjqFGPK1HMZPP2NXwoXxqlZPdFSYlmaQJKFcc0J7GEedK4jpXPFUgCjMF3Hamm6DGsjj/s4032/IMG_0144.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Vqu2G9bStrfnzDQUhAZIwYtyHBus-ROYy3-HE9t2KHL_K_LRU4z2xdyQHwHaEKIYvS4iqwY7beixzM8NVjvYw9DrnZQntbLYAW_4OE0y2WpoUZhpROKPFAMEmjqFGPK1HMZPP2NXwoXxqlZPdFSYlmaQJKFcc0J7GEedK4jpXPFUgCjMF3Hamm6DGsjj/s320/IMG_0144.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUBhTqbFyRlysqvRQae2xleD70qGCkFXPn8dt_0NyZQ_Z2YkaNvKjQg4XjLcbnSyXGSlIlBt15sfbuhGN1ElTzOWMWygGh92trWCnjhz288fCieG10toyvjEGVIO2Te6WVNJnuG7ZX5yzHs4hB50CklNk1_69vb5CS5_KU07n8j69ClTiWG9kK6GqfWrHb/s4032/IMG_0139.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUBhTqbFyRlysqvRQae2xleD70qGCkFXPn8dt_0NyZQ_Z2YkaNvKjQg4XjLcbnSyXGSlIlBt15sfbuhGN1ElTzOWMWygGh92trWCnjhz288fCieG10toyvjEGVIO2Te6WVNJnuG7ZX5yzHs4hB50CklNk1_69vb5CS5_KU07n8j69ClTiWG9kK6GqfWrHb/s320/IMG_0139.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Cory Gillespiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02293305108738148846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766554436320581196.post-52869840634713820262024-01-12T13:14:00.000-08:002024-01-12T13:14:41.800-08:00Kinstretch and Functional Range Conditioning<p> Thanks to Alex Vanderaegen for coming into the LCI Fitness space to introduce and refresh our athletes with Kinstretch and Functional Range Conditioning.

I hope you have had a great Summer and spent some time training in community facilities......but it's time to return home to the best place to train in Lethbridge!<p></p><p>It has been a busy Summer of prepping to get the space ready. We have all new plyoboxes, hex bars, belts and so much more. Make sure you stop in for a visit even if you aren't ready to get started. </p><p>Start up for users is set to kick off on Sept. 18 as opening day. As always, hours are posted on the site and on the door outside the Fitness Center. All information about operations can be found under the "About Us" drop menu. You will require a waiver form to use the space that can accessed on the side menu links and/or you can pick one up from me in person. During school time availability for open gym is during period 1. Waiver forms can be accessed directly by clicking the link <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lz6Ebb3TSDrjEjMO1HRH6uvrnCQv5oiG/view" target="_blank">HERE </a></p><p>Our online store is still up and running and can be accessed from the sidebar menu. Orders are placed directly through the online store and are delivered to the school within 2 weeks of ordering. if you are looking to pick up a shirt, my recommendation is the Next Level brand shirt. It is the one I have specifically requested be placed on the site due to quality, feel and the fact that it is an amazing training shirt based on how it feels, moves and breathes (plus it is not the fabric that will pull the stink right out of you). The Next Level specific shirt can be accessed directly at the this link for you to customize. Click <a href="https://www.customclothingstore.ca/online-store/Next-Level-Unisex-CVC-Crewneck-T-Shirt-p445516140" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p>As a reminder, the facility use is FREE! However, we do survive on donations to help with costs of maintaining and upkeeping the space. If you would like to donate to the program, you can access the donation page by clicking the link <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hHFO4TwSdenMrLLVn8u8dIEnLGE80NJr/view" target="_blank">HERE</a> .

During this week students apply their abilities in pursuit of a PRM (Perfect Rep Maximum). This is a little different than a standard RM as the dictating factor for lift completion is based on technical proficiency paired with load and not just load. As such, athletes do lift submaximally as the amount they could move if allowed to have technique get ugly has the potential to be higher but at a significant cost and potential for injury. The goal is to do the best you can in perfect style! Here is a glimpse of some of our amazing lifters!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT1XnmaQVnIaCqv7IMtbDRCwGftSpSPs3YQF3VF7p0d-IJ8vStWVywkm5dN46w3kF23_iJyKcbDcOiNbMMfUWi6Ophi_DNeCVPjYgX75dAIksB76pT1i9cYVF8RjxyEIMvBLEXujf4JII--5hIKoKcTb9CjO_2FjS8LHWvt5qkOba8Uhy-Ys0lwiJaLA/s5472/0G8A3083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

This year the Desjardins Foundation received 1,800 applications, 55,500 votes from employees and directors for their favorite projects, 546 winning projects (of which we are one), $1,430,000 awarded to projects and over 96,000 young people supported. We are so grateful to be counted among the recipients!!! <p></p><p>Our particular grant is sponsored by <b>On The Road</b>, a special initiative organized by a group of Desjardins employees to participate in a 24-hour walk or run relay. They raised $262,000 for projects entered for a Desjardins Foundation Prize.</p><p>The initiative that the Desjardins Foundation is supporting is the LCI Fitness Youth Inclusion program where we are at LCI Fitness are looking to breakdown barriers for disadvantaged groups <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">(students
with physical/mental disabilities or language barriers)</span> in our school to find places where they are able to engage and have a sense of belonging with the rest of the school population despite their disadvantages. Funds will be used to bring in additional equipment to the space that all individuals can use with minimal guidance, instruction or language abilities. . </p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Students of
all abilities, orientation, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity will be
involved daily in the project either on their own or through the Fitness and Performance Program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
focusing on inclusion & providing exercise programs and equipment options that
break down barriers that would otherwise segregate student populations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Providing activity outlets for students to
interact and improve their comprehensive health, while fostering community,
provides a sense of belonging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students with
connections in the building are more likely to engage and stay in school. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Big thank you to Harley D Phillips from our local Desjardins Insurance for coming over and presenting us with the cheque and amazing news!

Thank you to Sean Cassidy from The Nine Weightlifting and FUEL. It was amazing to go into the space and work with an Olympic Weightlifting coach and get a new set of eyes on our Olympic movements. Students have been drilling, learning and refining all semester and this was the icing on the cake. We spent most of the time in the snatch - this is where we needed the most work still - and I believe we may have a few Olympic future hopefuls in the group.<br /><p></p><p>Final</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCvAWPoRMcNFzujpF8ywuWhD6x86hKgf9cml3sh7Zue_rf-6Bn_OjP56sfGPc6nX64nend_RBsYC7xLvfBEsqTkFlbcNGtUzO8pQB_2eB0MG3Qt6rcfpgmFTAtRjGHDRU8KWyNut1jYIOx8uRcfMJ6oFb9NHjgnrOreggwTh2LX-VMObOVuaoPTedRQg/s4032/IMG_8249.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCvAWPoRMcNFzujpF8ywuWhD6x86hKgf9cml3sh7Zue_rf-6Bn_OjP56sfGPc6nX64nend_RBsYC7xLvfBEsqTkFlbcNGtUzO8pQB_2eB0MG3Qt6rcfpgmFTAtRjGHDRU8KWyNut1jYIOx8uRcfMJ6oFb9NHjgnrOreggwTh2LX-VMObOVuaoPTedRQg/w200-h150/IMG_8249.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /> thank you goes out to my good friend Adam Kapcsos.

During his time, Adam shared some of the key points he feels are needed to live a healthy and happy life. <p></p><p>What an amazing week to close out the semester.
