I’ve learned a TON about myself, the TRUE meaning of TEAM, quitting, being mentally tough and succeeding in life and business during the past year than I have in a lifetime. It’s been an amazing evolution as I learn more and more each day in my efforts to become a better person.

When I first began to heavily research the training of athletes, the BIG Buzz words were “functional training” and “sport specific training”.
Everyone and their Mom was training on one leg, using a stability ball, insisted on using pieces of equipment called “functional trainers” – which usually cost between 5 and 10 thousand dollars.
Mind you, this was before you tube came about…. hell, I’m not even sure Google existed at the time…. ha ha
I was brainwashed into thinking those people were right…. Until a Strength Coach said something that hit home HARD…..

I’ve been getting asked the same question lately, “How many sets should I do when focusing on building muscle?”
With my years of experience in training dating all the way back to 1989 and being a successful bodybuilder back in my day and now a Strength Coach, I’ve experienced AND experimented on MANY variations of set – rep combos.
I’ve found what works best, what doesn’t work well and what is a waste of time.
I’ve tested and experimented how to build strength without muscle or excess weight gain (training wrestlers who need to stay in a weight class) and have seen how small tweaks in their sets and reps can help them either gain weight / functional muscle or remain the same weight while gaining strength, power & stamina.

“WHAT IF……”
- What if one day you can’t get to the gym? You’re too busy, “life” happened….
Now what?
- What if one day you show up and your gym is locked…. maybe out of business, shut down?
Would you wait until tomorrow?
Would you wait for the perfect moment…. the perfect workout…. when the time and the place were just right?

Lately, I’ve been signing off from my e mails lately with a line that is firing peeps UP!
It goes like this: “Stronger Than Yesterday”
3 powerful words, short and to the point.
If we’re not making ourselves stronger than yesterday, better than yesterday, then we’re NOT living.
When I know someone is stronger than me, smarter than me, has greater knowledge than me…. I WANT to LEARN from that person….. drop the ego and be willing to LEARN from others.
That’s why I had Mandler make a video and a special workout, specifically for Underground Strength Nation…. a story that comes from the heart and a workout to not only build physical strength, but mental toughness as well.
Check this video out….
