Original Photo & Story HERE This was a QnA session BUT heavily prefaced by an explanation of "What It Takes", an expansion of the recent "What It Takes" Blog Post..... I suggest you read that blog post because until you understand "What It Takes" the knowledge you acquire means nothing & will amount to nothing. The BIG missing link that is always swept under the rug is the emphasis on hard work, smart work, dedication, consistency & intensity model of training. I love these … [Read more...]
Elliott Hulse & Z: StrongMan Training & Life Talk
Last week I arrived in Orlando, Florida early in the morning in preparation for my USC Cert and speaking at Changing The Game. If you know me somewhat well, you know I'm not the biggest fan of 2 things: 1) Flying 2) Leaving my family Lucky for me, I've got a handful of close friends who make me feel at home and give me that feeling of being around my family. Elliott Hulse is one of those guys. When I got to my hotel Wednesday all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I felt like a track wreck and … [Read more...]
Deep Belly Breathing + Lifestyle Mistakes
Pay attention. Pay attention to the details. Deny them as I did and eventually your body will be put in it's place through injury, pain and frustration. In this Video I discuss breathing through the belly, or as Elliott Hulse often says, "breathe into your balls". This could be one of the most important Videos for your health. It all depends, as I like to say. When you are young and in your 20s, you feel indestructible, but, as the mileage of training builds up, you look back and wish you … [Read more...]
The Value of Teaching Work Ethic & Avoiding The Delusional
Above, Opportunity knocks for those WILLING to work their ass off to get it. A crew of CUSC (Certified Underground Strength Coaches) at Elliott Hulse's Strength Camp. Some "get it" and some don't. Some think that what they see on the surface is what you get and the way it's always been. They see a pumping gym and assume it was easy. They don't see the tens of thousands of dollars (perhaps over 100 thousand) invested in training and business knowledge. They don't see the struggles that were … [Read more...]

Before podcasts were out, I was recording some shorter interviews and posting them to the blog but they have gotten buried in literally thousands of blog posts, articles, videos and etc. They are too powerful to let slip away, so here is my throwback STRONG Life Podcast with Elliott Hulse. We discuss the following: … [Read more...]
Hero’s Journey: Do You Have The Guts To Say, “F**K YOU!”?
I don't know how long ago it was but someone gave me a powerful piece of advice regarding life and work, but mostly life.... He was telling me about the day that he looked forward to having X amount of dollars in the bank and then he can say "F**K You" to anyone. It immediately got me thinking that I NEVER wanted to be in a situation where I HAD to be in a relationship of any sort with someone. I ALWAYS wanted to be able to say "F**K You" not so much to people, but to any circumstance that … [Read more...]
