In this video with Mark "Smelly" Bell I discuss a common question I get. It's interesting because through lifting and training, I have learned to apply the lessons from the gym to my life. Smelly has done the same, so we discuss how to kick ass and take names in life. Smelly comes off as a very light hearted person but he has gone through some very tough times and learned to harness those emotions to create a highly successful business on his own terms, while doing what he loves: lifting heavy … [Read more...]

THIS GUY WANTS TO BE SOMEBODY!!!
I just received an e mail and HAD to share it. I withhold the person's last name for privacy and screen shot it below as well so you can see no words have been edited. This e mail fired me UP!

Not everyone REALLY wants to be somebody. Not everyone has that inner Spartan or inner Gladiator. But for those who … [Read more...]
How to Get STRONGER & TOUGHER Training Under Fatigue (Pre Exhaust Method)
I find myself more and more returning to methods I used in the 90s. Maybe it's my age, both in biological terms and training age terms. Spending all these years under the bar since 1989 I am still excited to train and finding new ways to keep getting better. I don't want to make the mistake I've seen others make, which is resisting change. I remember even as a young teen bodybuilder how others weren't making any progress year after year and I remember exactly why: - They didn't attempt to get … [Read more...]
Warrior Workouts [March 2015], Random Thoughts & Various Inspiration
I am always finding inspiration. For some reason, everything I see inspires me in some shape or form. I am inspired to be better than I currently am as well as to not be like the things I see that bother me. I've tried to change, to calm down, to be less intense or less serious or even less passionate but it lasts very little. I'm just not a calm guy who lets things slide. I'm intense, passionate and fired up. It's like telling Dan Gable to stop being so intense. It doesn't work. It will … [Read more...]
5 NO BS Training Tips & “Over The Edge” Workouts
At age 38 I am NOT supposed to be getting stronger and better, according the naysayers and the "experts" that is. In fact, even if you are younger OR older than me, you likely hear from everyone else... all the "experts", that you shouldn't do this or should do that.... bla bla bla I've been training since 1989 and have been training others literally since my high school days, when friends would call me so I could meet them at the gym and train them. I wanna share some hard hitting lessons … [Read more...]
Liftin’ Heavy S**T & Chuck Vogelpohl, The Legend
In these Videos you will find what I describe as the GREATEST Seminar nobody ever knew about! Actually, MANY people knew about this seminar but we could BARELY GIVE the seminar away! The seminar was taught by Mark Smelly Bell & Jesse Burdick before they had a strong following, sponsors, etc. BUT, at the time, Mark was one of the best powerlifters in the world, and, there were MANY powerlifters in the immediate area who said they could not attend the seminar because it was squat or bench … [Read more...]
