Why The World Would Be Different If I Never Wrestled
I wonder if the world would be different in my eyes if I never wrestled? My older brother told me "It's the most awesome sport!" I was in 8th grade at the time and he was a sophomore in high school. Of course, I wish my parents knew this to get us all involved in wrestling much earlier. My older brother started wrestling his sophomore year in high school and I began my freshman year. My younger brother began in 1st grade. Before I rant, I want to preface this and say that NOT all wrestlers … [Read more...]
Why That Short Cut Is Killing Your Success
This Blog Post is gonna get intense. Why so intense? Because I don't accept or encourage mediocrity. Mediocrity sucks. I can't stand it. Even more so, I get pissed off how passionate people get reprimanded, lose their jobs, etc while mediocre people and even worst than mediocre people get jobs and get accepted into society. I would rather be hated and get fired from any job then to settle for mediocrity. Success requires intensity, dedication, passion, commitment, durability … [Read more...]

Photo above with info HERE via my Instagram This QnA STRONG Life Podcast [Episode 77] is jam packed with information from various training questions to business and life questions.

How Strength & Conditioning Can Change Or Save Your LIFE
Guest Post by Shawn Charlebois, CUSC L1 Somebody much smarter than me once said “We Are What We Repeatedly Do”. I don’t know about you but I want to be strong. I did a lot of growing up in jail.

I did 8 years inside and during that time I got to do a few critical things: KNOW MYSELF KNOW WHAT I STAND FOR BE CONSISTENT WITH MY EFFORTS & CHARACTER These 3 key factors are the building … [Read more...]
Blending Calisthenics with Strongman, Powerlifting & Olympic Weightlifting
My buddy and I used to hunt the area for the best playgrounds. We looked for parallel bars and pull up bars specifically. These were gems. Some schools removed their entire playground if one child fell and got injured. So this was not as easy to find as it sounds. The back of my truck usually had a sandbag, a few Kettlebells and maybe a sled or prowler. Those training sessions were powerful and effective. They were TOUGH. Now, being in my 40s, I find that more calisthenics and … [Read more...]

Bigger, Stronger & Faster In A Garage Gym
When schools or individuals are worried about turf instead of their grass field, a beautiful weight room instead of the old dungeon weight room and sophisticated X, Y, Z ........ They are worried about the WRONG things. The TRUTH is that fancy and pretty equipment don't mean a thing unless the training and technique is dialed in. GREAT Coaches & a GREAT Environment Builds GREAT athletes, it's NOT the equipment. This journey began for me in my early teenage years. I quickly learned … [Read more...]
AWESOME Podcasts I’ve Recently Crushed!
I've been on a minimalist kick and have been saying NO to a lot more than I say Yes. NO to podcasts, interviews, opportunities, seminars...... There is power in focus, and, I don't see many people dialed in and focused nowadays. That's a problem when you're trying to be your best. That brings me to this point: I've done a LOT of great podcasts through the years and if you are a go getter, then Google them and dig in. I've seen many of these podcasts get unshared by the podcast … [Read more...]
