He walked through waist high water for over an hour, lifting his legs out of the water on each step to develop work capacity. He would snatch throw a 220 lb. barbell for 100 reps backwards over his head as a warm up to his olympic lifting workouts. He trained in solitude. He trained in training hall or his backyard. There were times he would train with a barbell in the water as well, diving under and emerging seconds later with the barbell ripped through the water into a power … [Read more...]

I devoured that book in NO time and could NOT put it down. … [Read more...]
As I watched the Gladiators
Yesterday was a hot and humid day in Joisey. We had a few crews of Gladiators training, 5 - 6 in each group. I watched them sprint, jump, rip through kettlebells, sandbags and perform countless pull ups and push ups. They ripped through heavy sleds, others were jumping rope and others practiced their handstand push ups. I was in a daze for a few minutes as I watched, and I was proud of what I saw, BIG time proud. For some reason it brought me back to the times of people telling me what I … [Read more...]
What do you need and what do you want?
Do you want to be strong, or do you want to be highly conditioned? Do you want to be explosive, or do you want to be agile, mobile and hostile? How about training for all of these traits? I know, many people say you must specialize to get optimal results. But, in the real world, you need everything. You gotta be "in shape", and that means having the perfect blend of many physical traits: strength endurance, power endurance, aerobic endurance, and overall conditioning. Finding the right … [Read more...]
Kettlebell Night Ops
It was 10 PM at night. The air was cool and my wife was asleep. My daughter fell asleep at 8:30 PM and I just finish cleaning up, massaging my wife to fall asleep and unable to get in my quick workout, I headed around the backyard into the dark to grab an 80 lb Kettlebell. The sky was bright, being it was a full moon, I was able to see better than usual. I had to train, because being strong is what made me successful in the first place. Strength is what gave me grit and toughness to … [Read more...]

I speak the truth…
Just got an e mail earlier today asking about my thoughts regarding the Lifeline Kettlebells and The Power Wheel. First off, I will never promo something I do not believe in, or something that you can not benefit from. I have a few of the Lifeline K-bells and wish I had these earlier. They freaking rock. They do not have a glossy finish, they fit perfectly and the price is right. The power wheel is a regular in my own workouts as well as our athletes. Lots of handwalks and roll outs, and some … [Read more...]

What were you Born to do?
Here we go, another one of my "deep" posts for you. I hope this will make you think and take action. You see, about 1 1/2 years ago I was having dinner at my friends home in Florida, Ryan Lee. We were speaking about my readiness to open a gym so I can do what I love most, which is training athletes, especially young athletes, and getting them STRONG. I love the internet, but, I need fresh air, I need to wrap my hands around iron and sweat like my athletes do. He told me to do what I … [Read more...]
