STRONG Life Insider: Ep. 38 | How to Take Ownership & Destroy The “Good Enough” Standard
The little things count BIG time. In training, it's where you place your hands on the bar and the position of your feet. In work, it's picking up the thread of garbage on the floor or walking past it. It's doing something for someone before they ask you to do it. Details separate the good from the great. The greats KNOW this while the average do NOT care about the details. … [Read more...]

Us vs “Them”
No need to talk to me, I am here to do WORK. Before you even hit the gym, you've already been preparing for that training session. 24 hours in advance.....

Plenty of protein to fuel yourself, some carbs to make sure the energy is on point because you know you're going to BATTLE it out in the gym today. You got to sleep a bit earlier than normal to ensure when you wake up, you feel READY. You are "mentally warming up" 24 hrs … [Read more...]
Chase Those “White Lights” or Get OUT
There is something very special at The Underground Strength Gym. I bring it with me anywhere I Coach. I look for the hardest worker in the room. I'm gonna tell you why in just a second..... You see, I feel so strongly about The Underground that I have kicked my own kids out of my gym when they are in there and NOT working. When I say Strength Discriminates Against No One, I mean it. It means YOU are not special and YOU will NOT get any special treatment here, EVER. The … [Read more...]
5 Reasons Why You Need Circuit Training

Below I will outline how to design these circuits and you can perform them with heavy or light weights, or, blend it all together depending on your goals. … [Read more...]
1967 Mental Toughness Tips from Golden Era Bodybuilding
It's amazing that even in a 1967 Golden Era Bodybuilding Magazine (Muscle Builder) that people were talking about "This generation has gotten soft". This article was called Mom-ism May be the Reason Why You are NOT a Champion. As a parent myself, it is a reminder that the easy life and giving your kids everything you didn't have is NOT helping our kids. In fact, it only hurts them. This is also why I HATE when people send me gifts. Call me crazy but I want to EARN it. I want to BUY it. … [Read more...]

There are certainly plenty of athletes who do NOT follow through on the eating or they skimp out on the training and then of … [Read more...]
STRONG Life Insider Ep. 35 | Anabolic “Secrets” of THE STRONGEST People on Earth?
The unnecessary complications that people make for nutrition and training is staggering. It's mind boggling, actually. In fact, it is heartbreaking to be honest with you. Why the heck are people so confused nowadays? It's simple. Information overload. And, the most popular information is often times connected to supplements. The supplements fuel the marketing / advertising dollars. I am lucky that I grew up in REAL "Hardcore Gyms" where I began to learn that the biggest guys were the … [Read more...]
