There is something PURE about training in your very own home gym - be it the garage, basement, backyard or spare bedroom.... Heck. I've heard of some home gym set ups in people's kitchen's!

I recall reading from Dr. Ken, that even though he owned a large gym (I believe it was Iron Island Gym?) he still did his own workouts in a custom made home gym, where he also trained NFL players and other BEASTS. I've got video footage and … [Read more...]
POWERFUL Navy SEAL Speech from Richard Machowicz
I've learned a TON about myself, the TRUE meaning of TEAM, quitting, being mentally tough and succeeding in life and business during the past year than I have in a lifetime. It's been an amazing evolution as I learn more and more each day in my efforts to become a better person. I immersed myself in learning and getting out of my comfort zone.

I wanted to see, do these athletes demonstrate greater strength? Greater speed? Greater physicality and more muscle? Well, the program looks impressive on … [Read more...]
3 Rules For Short, Effective Workouts
Workouts don't have to be long to be effective. Trust me, I KNOW. I used to spend 90 - 120 minutes in the gym each and every workout.

Bodybuilding and working out was what I revolved my life around. I had a regimented life and nothing stood in my way when it came to eating and … [Read more...]
