Hunukkah.
I’m the first to admit that I am pretty uninformed on the Jewish holiday. I was talking with my friend, AoD, today and she filled me in on the essentials. She also promised me that she and Paulie would take time to celebrate by getting some potato pancakes…still waiting on word that it was so. (Just got word. They had broccoli fritters which still count because they are fried goodies. Well done Steinman’s.)
Anyways.
Growing up as a Lutheran PK in Minneapolis suburbs near St. Louis Park meant that during this time of year, we got to see their ginormous Menorah light up night after night. It also meant I had no clue what it all meant. But now I do.
So Happy Hanukah to those who celebrate.
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
Buddah

At tosabarbell, I build relationships cultivated in a strength and learning environment. There is no 12 week magic pill program to strength but rather a lifetime commitment to be the very best and most useful human you can be.
tosabarbell is a private, home grown gym with three lifting platforms; squat rack; prowlers; throwing implements; bars, bumpers and everything else needed for an effective strength and conditioning program. Straightforward barbell programming including the Olympic lifts; sound (read: not fancy bullshit) diet advance for weight gain or loss; and strong coaching will ensure you will meet your goals such as becoming stronger, more explosive, and better conditioned.
I have been coaching teams and athletes for over 30 years. I grew up participating in various sports at various levels but was always drawn to those that require strength training. I have multiple local, national, and world records in the sports of Weightlifting and Highland Games Heavy Events as well as a combined total of 5 World Championships. My 5 years of training and coaching under Mark Rippetoe provided a wide range of influence from some of the top strength & conditioning and throwing coaches in the country. I will strongly encourage tosabarbell athletes to compete (and prepare you to do so.) However, tosabarbell is also for those who wish to be stronger and go through life feeling better.
Matt WanAt is a retired Professional Strongman who competed frequently with Strongman Champions League in Europe. He played a year of D1 football with Iowa before concentrating on his Chemical Engineering degree in Iowa City. He is a native of Wauwatosa and still remains a staunch supporter of Tosa East.
This blog will be a mixture of strength notes, coaching and nutrition tips, personal shit; bacon delicacies, and a whole lot of fun.
