wolf.jpgA few weeks ago one of my clients saw me training before they were about to tear it up.

I had about 15 minutes so I tore through some heavy power cleans supersetted with ring dips.

He knew I was ALSO going to train at the end of the night to finish off where I left off.

He asked me, “Don’t you feel exhausted and weak at the end of your work day, after so many hours of work plus the workout you’re doing?”

I think it’s much easier than people make it when it comes to getting stronger, adding muscle and getting faster….and I mean getting these results FAST!

Make no mistake regarding “easy” and “simple”. Easy is walking in the park…simple is hitting one arm rows with 150′s for 10 reps per hand without wrist straps. Even simpler is a set of squats for 15 – 20 reps….but damn are the results amazing!

We have our athletes on a system of training that just keeps on dishing out results, and man do I wish I had this info when I was younger. I’m glad I have it now :)

My Dad should have told me about what he did back when he grew up in Romania as a kid. Gymnastics, sprints, jumping over hurdles and boxes, swimming, wrestling and boxing…the well roundedness of such a style of training develops an impressive foundation for the athlete.

I should have been forced to run with the sled as he had to run with my brother and I every winter.

As the world becomes a busier and busier place for so many of us, it seems that rather than think for ourselves, and do what is best for us, too many people blindly copy other materials.

I’m talking about copying someone else’s workout, rather than take bits and pieces of what works for you.

I’m also talking about the endless information on the web. Watch me write about a topic and rather than a fellow strength coach create his own idea, he takes the words right from my pages without his own heart written words.

I talk about both of these scnearios because if you want your training to truly be meaningful, you must create a style of training that works for you, not your friend or others, and, it must create an emotion that allows you to lose yourself and find yourself.
