The Story of The Infamous BIG Curl Bar
It was a summer morning in 1990 and I had arrived at my favorite place, The Metuchen YMCA. This wasn't the updated YMCA with their brand new equipment, nicely painted walls and senior citizens aimlessly roaming the gym floor. This was the small basement weight room that was treated like the red headed step child, outfitted with what we call today "old school" York Barbell equipment. Round Head York Dumbbells lined the dumbbell racks while the heavier dumbbells were left scattered on the floor. … [Read more...]
Hard Work Is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Hard Work is BEAUTIFUL. That is the first step towards success in any endeavor, Loving work rather than fearing work. You'll find resistance all around you as you work your ass off to achieve greatness in any endeavor, be it in the gym or in life. People will call you "crazy" and say "that's not normal". You're damn right it's not normal. Normal people achieve normal or average levels of success. I have ZERO interest in being average or normal. Recently, I was reminded like a punch … [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...]

The Warrior Mindset, Lifestyle & Training Around Injuries
After spending some time on the phone with a friend of mine who is veteran of war, we got into discussing what a "Warrior" is. I thought he was gonna tell me that no one should call themselves a Warrior UNLESS they fought in War. I was wrong. The conversation reminded me a bit of some of the times I spent talking life, lifting and being a Warrior with none other than The Ultimate Warrior. We didn't speak about men with guns. We spoke the misuse and misrepresentation of the word, … [Read more...]
