Bigger, Stronger & Faster In A Garage Gym
When schools or individuals are worried about turf instead of their grass field, a beautiful weight room instead of the old dungeon weight room and sophisticated X, Y, Z ........ They are worried about the WRONG things. The TRUTH is that fancy and pretty equipment don't mean a thing unless the training and technique is dialed in. GREAT Coaches & a GREAT Environment Builds GREAT athletes, it's NOT the equipment. This journey began for me in my early teenage years. I quickly learned … [Read more...]

Why Your Training Must Mirror Life AND Sports
There are MANY ways to train. MANY training methods are highly effective and trust me, MANY are horrible on even their best days.

The Mark Of A STRONG Man, Lessons Inspired from Andy Bolton
"Weak Legs & Weak Back = A WEAK Man" When I heard about Andy Bolton breaking the 1,000 lb Deadlift Barrier I knew this was not only a strong man, but most importantly, a SMART man. World records are never set because someone got lucky. It takes some serious experience and a blend of brains and brawn. As a Coach and a student of life and the iron game, I never feel that I am "good enough". Good enough is the devil. I knew that if I could learn at least 1 thing from Andy Bolton I could … [Read more...]
