The kipped pullup is a skill that takes strength, coordination and just a wee bit of rhythm to pull off.  Even for folks that come in with numerous strict pullups, the kipped pullup can prove quite the challenge.  I’ve been seeing some serious pullup improvement amongst some of our newer folks! Awesome work! Just remember, once you can link 2 together, then 3, you’re off to the races!

Ever since my first training session with the NorCal SC team three years ago, I have a fond appreciation for exercise and proper diet. I have been around long enough to have seen the evolution NorCal Strength and Conditioning. The crafty staff is always adjusting the training programs as well as their philosophy. Just within the past year or so, many new classes have been created to meet each member’s needs as well as their area of interest too. With all of this stated, I have finally found the class that really has worked for me. 

The result – years of striving for the top, and always coming up short. Since NorCal SC, I don’t come up short any more.

I was eating what I had considered to be a healthy diet full of lean meats, fruits, veggies and lots of whole grains.  Despite all of my exercise and ‘healthy’ diet, I had hit a plateau at an unhealthy 185 pounds and was a size 14.
