I will call this the Anti Mediocrity Show, aka The F--K Average Show. I did a better job at managing my colorful language in this episode as I answered your questions on a variety of topics from training to running a garage gym or warehouse gym to what I am thankful for. I had a GREAT time answering your questions as I always do, so make sure you drop your questions the next time I post a QnA on my Instagram HERE. … [Read more...]
Small Victories for Mental Toughness
"Just find an excuse to WIN." When I want to build my mental toughness a mere extra 1%, I don't view the big goal, I take it 1 small step at a time. If I'm running, just get to the next telephone pole.... If I'm hitting a set of 20 rep squats, just get to 8, then 10, then 12.... When I get to 20.... I do 1 more, a few more times. It all adds up and these small victories build upon themselves, building momentum and in turn, greater mental toughness. During a recent training session with 1 of … [Read more...]

NO Time to Train? Making Time VS Making Excuses
_____________ I constantly hear men saying, "I have NO time to workout, NO time to train!" That is all BS. Make time or Make excuses. The choice is yours. You don't need a gym membership. Heck, you don't even need a gym. Bodyweight Only workouts CAN get the job done and be extremely powerful when following the right system. A few additional training tools can be added to the mix and stowed away so lack of space is never a problem either. The photo above tells the perfect story and the … [Read more...]

Training to Be HARDER to Kill
I'm finishing up a week here in Florida with my kids. It's the first time we're without the wifey and let me tell ya, the first few days were brutal..... Emotionally, we're used to operating as a team..... I had to dig deep in ways I never experienced before to help my kids feel safe and strong, especially my daughter, who went to an intensive Tennis camp, 3 hours every morning for 5 days straight. If you have experience with intensive training, the type that exhausts you on all fronts … [Read more...]

3 Reasons To Train Like A SAVAGE
Men need to train like uncontrolled savages & stop being so damn pretty when it comes to training & workouts. Start doing this at least SOME of the time. Not all of the time, but 1 x week, make it happen. Intense, Uncomfortable, Tough Workouts are GREAT for the mind AND body. The body is always capable of more, but through those perfect workouts that follow the perfect program design system and the best sets and reps, you NEVER truly develop your Inner Savage. I love telling the … [Read more...]
STRONG Life Ep 63: The Problems with Waiting for Perfect
In Episode 63 of The STRONG Life Podcast I dig into the problems with waiting for "that perfect opportunity" or "the perfect time". There is NO such thing as perfect. Everything we do is flawed in some shape or form. The longer you wait and procrastinate for perfection the more time you waste and the more opportunities will continue to pass you by. That brings me to a question I was recently asked: "Is the training that Rocky did during Rocky I - IV even good?" MANY people ask this … [Read more...]
You Can’t Fake STRONG
I'm coming off a high after last weekend's USC Cert + Travis Mash's Learn 2 Lift Seminar. We blend our 2 methods together because it all blends perfectly.
