Training to Be HARDER to Kill
I'm finishing up a week here in Florida with my kids. It's the first time we're without the wifey and let me tell ya, the first few days were brutal..... Emotionally, we're used to operating as a team..... I had to dig deep in ways I never experienced before to help my kids feel safe and strong, especially my daughter, who went to an intensive Tennis camp, 3 hours every morning for 5 days straight. If you have experience with intensive training, the type that exhausts you on all fronts … [Read more...]
The Iron NEVER Lies
It was just me and my best Dude. My son. We were going out to eat that night with our friends and I remembered what kind of person I was last time I missed my workout. I wasn't the most pleasant person to be around, let's put it that way. I knew if I could get in a few deadlifts and some calisthenics I would tame my inner animal for at least the next few hours. My son was with me and we had less than 20 minutes to spare. He went into the office and turned on the TV. It reminded me of Henry … [Read more...]

3 Reasons You Must Attack Deadlifts & Calisthenics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_aSMy9RQyk Give me nothing but a Barbell and I will Build a BadAss. Do you have the discipline, drive and dedication to train with nothing but a barbell? If you do, then we can make it happen. But the truth is that MOST don't desire the simplicity. They crave the fancy. They crave the fads. If my business could be run like a simple training hall we can certainly weed out the not so serious. Add some bodyweight bodybuilding aka calisthenics and now we have a … [Read more...]
Deadlifts, Rocky & Navy SEAL Inspiration
-- Strength Today VS Strength of Yesterday -- When I was a teenager, strength was measured in numbers. Numbers on the bar. That's all. Then, when I reached my 20s, I began viewing strength differently. I attached strength to more than just the numbers I was lifting. I measured my strength in pain tolerance, in making training partners quit and in going that extra step just when I thought I should stop. … [Read more...]
STRONG Life Ep 63: The Problems with Waiting for Perfect
In Episode 63 of The STRONG Life Podcast I dig into the problems with waiting for "that perfect opportunity" or "the perfect time". There is NO such thing as perfect. Everything we do is flawed in some shape or form. The longer you wait and procrastinate for perfection the more time you waste and the more opportunities will continue to pass you by. That brings me to a question I was recently asked: "Is the training that Rocky did during Rocky I - IV even good?" MANY people ask this … [Read more...]

My gym is over 90 degrees and my energy has been put towards MANY things: Waking up at 5 AM to do work on the beautiful interwebs.
