Above, Roger Estep - 1 of the Pioneers of The Power - Bodybuilding Method ___________________ After laying low on training the past month, going minimalist style with low volume & frequency plus chowing down on lots of food lately, I'm gonna put good use to these calories. I felt my body was needing a break coupled with a super hectic work schedule, listening to my body is crucial to staying healthy. My appetite is finally back and my motivation is that of a run away freight train. I … [Read more...]
Return of The Golden Era Bodybuilding Workout
Golden Era bodybuilding is a far cry from many of the bodybuilding methods of today. Today we see circus tricks and pump up weights. The lack of strength focused work is why the bodybuilders of The Golden Era had that thick, dense, rugged physique. The bodybuilders of today rely on chemical warfare rather than building a physique that stays with you for a lifetime. The Golden & Silver Era bodybuilders focused on free weights, heavy lifting, hard work on the basics and no fads or … [Read more...]

One BadAss Book: ‘The 4 Hour Body’ Book Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIVmsIJyj3A The trailer pumped me up BIG time. I won't lie. I wanted to Deadlift HEAVY and run FAST as soon as I saw this Video. Sometimes, the trailer is better than the movie, or in this case, the book. https://youtu.be/gm68avm3UVA But, NOT this time. This time, Tim Ferriss kicked some major ass in his latest book, 'The 4 Hour Body'. It was a Friday night in NYC. I was meeting up with my homeboy, BMack, the Mastermind behind CrossFit … [Read more...]
Mobility, Prehab and Rehab – Exposing Your Weakness
Last weekend I had an AMAZING time chillin' AND learning from my homeboy, K Star. I attended his Mobility Cert and it was THE MOST practical seminar I have ever been to. The amount of understanding and conceptual knowledge you gain from this cert is downright crazy. By the way, K Star has got perhaps one of the most BadAss Gyms known to human kind, there are NO walls, no showers and no pretty bathrooms... instead, you'll find the fresh air, TONS of weights from free weights to odd objects to … [Read more...]
Kickin’ Ass & Takin’ Names at 35 Years Young
I remember seeing the movie, 'Predator', when I was maybe 8 years old. It was for my older brother's birthday party in a now dead movie theatre, Amboy Cinemas. I loved that movie and did push ups as soon as I got home. The BIG guys in the movie inspired me. Even as a young kid I was motivated by being BIGGER. Some 27 years ago....Even at age 8, I wanted to be cool and tough. Still working on it :) But, as I get older by the numbers I refuse to give in to the "regularities" that come with age. … [Read more...]
Gladiator Garage Gym Workouts
It was The Fall of 2002, and I had drawn the line...... I was up to my neck in work as a grad student plus working full time as a teacher. I was also coaching Wrestling and the season was a few short weeks away. My time was pressed to say the least. Sunday mornings I would wake up and work on research papers from 10 AM until 10 PM. It was the first time in 7 or 8 years that I was unable to make the trek to my favorite hardcore gym, Diamond Gym. I was too busy to drive 30 minutes each way, … [Read more...]
Underground QnA: Combat Training & Endurance Training
Let's grab some Questions from the "mail bag", ha ha, I actually wish we had more mail nowadays, all these e mails are TOUGH - but in a good way! Here we go: Question / E Mail # 1: "Hi, I've been following your strength training routines for a while. I worked as a personal trainer for four years in a corporate gym that I won't name, and I had to be fairly secretive about using your methods because they would get me in trouble with the management. Despite the fact that my clients kept … [Read more...]
