The SSPC Certification (Strength & Sports Performance Coach)
A few weeks back I spoke to a group of Coaches about the "Rules of Business" when Joe DeFranco and I did our 'Garage Gym Godfathers' business seminar. It was an amazing seminar from 2 guys who've been staying the course for 20+ years each. We've stayed true to what we believe in and focused on delivering life changing results for our clients. The BIG takeaway, just like it is when we give athletes advice is this: TAKE ACTION. Joe simply said, "DO SH-T." I spoke about ethics in business along … [Read more...]

How to Use HEAVY Bodyweight Training & Pulling Power for Brute Strength
I recall having a phone call with Joe DeFranco and he was telling me how one of his Coaches / former athletes, Mike Guadango, was regularly doing heavy, HEAVY 1 rep sets for pull ups. Mike was also performing heavy recline rows with over 100 lbs on a weight vest for sets of 1 - 3 reps. It got me thinking differently about my Bodyweight training and I began looking to turn my Bodyweight training into a system, just like Westside Barbell implements the Conjugate System, with days focused on … [Read more...]

Here it is, part deux of the contest prep. Lots of trash talking so it's getting fun! Lots of questions flying in, so I answer them below: - can girls enter? Absolutely, I never discriminate.
