The deadlift is a compound exercise where you lift a weight—usually a barbell—off the ground until you’re standing tall, then lower it back down. It sounds simple, right? But don’t let its simplicity fool you. The deadlift recruits multiple muscle groups at once, including your hamstrings, glutes, back, core, and even your grip strength.

It’s called a “deadlift” because you’re lifting the weight from a dead stop, making it one of the purest tests of raw strength.

To that end, I've asked for a third-party investigation be conducted so we leave no stone unturned, including any and all interaction the student had with staff and students," Throne wrote in the letter addressed to the Oxford community. In this podcast I critique the events. I am and have been concerned about how many after the fact reports and comments always seem to be made that point to the shooter as a potential problem the victim of bullying or dangerous. In this case the counselor of the school told the parents of Ethan Crumbley to take their child home and they flat out refused.

I discovered that everyone not only kids need to develop these five qualities

All students had to have a high regard for the rights and privileges of another person: RESPECT

All students had to learn how to follow through on a task and what the consequence would be if they didn’t: RESPONSIBILITY

We all live in the same world and in order to get along we have to develop RELATIONSHIPS with key people in our lives and understand how to nourish those relationships so they grow and flourish

I needed to help my students and others realize that if they fail it doesn’t make them a failure and how not to be discouraged by a low test score or a sports related issue. RESILENCY

Society requires COMPLIANCE from those in authority all the time; teachers, parents, law enforcement, employers. Compliance is doing what you are told when you are told to do it with a good attitude.

Once I started focusing on these 5 areas and built my rules around these qualities a few things happened

1. The school climate changed

2. I had less discipline referrals

3. Kids did what they were told

4. The school was a kinder place
