Passion & The Utter Disdain for Anything Less Than Excellence
When I talk about passion, it's hard to not think about Tom Platz! And of course, who was a BIG inspiration to Tom? It was none other than Dr. Squat himself, Fred Hatfield! Most people will never understand Platz's intensity (insanity) in his training but to me, it ALL makes sense. When I was a teenager and in my early 20s, before smart phones were around and the ability to film my training happened, I trained "crazy". But, I could NOT hold myself back. I couldn't stop myself. I HAD to … [Read more...]

Random Thoughts: Training, CrossFit, Lessons from Sun Tzu & Warehouse Gym Business Standards / Ethics
Here we go...... I'm sipping on some tea, prepping up for our 9 AM training before the new year at my Manasquan, NJ Underground Strength Gym location. The quote above from Sun Tzu was shared to me from my buddy, John Welbourn. I LOVE it. It makes me think about the athletes I work with, how they are held back BIG time when they fear getting out of their comfort zone. I watch every winter / wrestling season a local team getting DESTROYED by the competition in a way I … [Read more...]

Thoughts on Squats, Life & Lifting
I had recently come across a video that inspired me to share my thoughts on squats, life and lifting. I've been saying for countless years how the iron is the best therapy for me. Is it the same for you? I don't know, but I am quite confident that if you're in need of a boost, there isn't a whole lot that feels more invigorating and powerful than experiencing an awesome training session. With my hectic schedule, I am getting in a few 5:30 AM training sessions each week. This is much better … [Read more...]
How I Train Athletes & The Fight Against Strength & Conditioning Fads
Strong is STRONG. You can't fake strong. Some athletes / people might LOOK strong but when it's time to perform, they can not perform. How do I know? I was there myself in my high school years as a wrestler - I followed too much bodybuilding work and I LOOKED strong, but I was NOT able to perform with dominating power. When I began getting heavily into strength & conditioning, the industry was really pushing the "functional training" craze. Back in the early 2000s, this meant you had … [Read more...]
