Here is a short snippet From my morning newsletter aka The STRONG Life Insider. I am intrigued by people. MORE intrigued with who is tough vs who is not. Who quits vs who keeps going. Who punches the clock vs who does AWESOME work. Who genuinely cares about their work and how they work vs those who never gives a sh-t. What type of person are you? Normal people quit. A LOT. … [Read more...]
Are You Allergic……

What do these articles talk about? The BASICS. Getting STRONG. Eating. A LOT. Finding a Way vs Finding an Excuse. But today. Not enough can do the above. Why?

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!

Iron Roots Ep. 9 | George Hackenschmidt aka The Russian Lion
MANY years ago I got my hands on a book titled The Way to Live. I loved the book. It was so simple yet so powerful. I was training athletes from my garage back then and I was already tired of the poser, fake BS in the "fitness industry".

But his results were world class. … [Read more...]
Art of Coaching: How & Why Strength & Conditioning Is MUCH More Than Sets & Reps
I've watched the worst movers in the weight room achieve some of the highest levels of success in their chosen sport. I've watched the highest achievers in high school struggle at the D1 Level and give up altogether.

They are ironic only when you are new to training athletes. Once you've coached for a while, you see how … [Read more...]
