Let me warn you that the language in this video is NOT WFS (Work / Family Safe). Those of you who "get it" understand that when you are doing something with intensity and passion, there are times you need to go to a "dark place" and do what must be done to face your demons. This holds true for the gym and for life. I always tell you, life and lifting, they are one and the same. I explain how things have changed and why I train the way I train at the age of 39. I explain why biceps and a … [Read more...]
A Wrestling Documentary Everyone Must Watch: The Season | Iowa Wrestling
Back when I was coaching wrestling this wrestling documentary was featured. The year was 2003 I believe. I recorded this with a VHS tape, ha ha. At the time my girlfriend asked me to go out and I remember telling her I was busy! It was 2 weekends in a row and I was counting down the days and hours until I could watch part 2 on ESPN that weekend. The lessons learned and insight from this documentary STILL inspires me well over a decade later. Whether you wrestle or not doesn't matter, you will … [Read more...]
The Best Squat Shoes? Pt 2
In this installment of "The Best Squat Shoes?" I discuss training environment, training intensity, getting strong, the attitude behind my training and how you need to train and my program design method (the actual science stuff).

The Best Squat Shoes?
~ THE SQUAT POEM ~ My e mails and social media messages are being taken over by questions that have LESS to do with what it takes to be strong and more to do with the shoes one should be wearing, the best belt, etc. I've had people walk into my gym who looked like they NEVER lifted a day in their life and asked me what "training system are you using? Conjugate or linear periodization?" The WRONG questions are being asked. The short cuts, fads and gimmicks are being chased. Yet there is 1 … [Read more...]
How Hard To Train to Maximize Strength & Muscle Growth – Pt 2
Picking up from where we left off. More often than not, the same guy asking "How hard is too hard?" with regards to training is the same guy coming up with excuses for doing the work. "Oh, I'm deloading." "Oh, I'm following _________ program." The fear of work is not just killing the ability to get jacked and strong but shyt, it's killing people's lives. If you fear work in the gym you likely fear work in LIFE. You're "that guy" who doesn't want to climb the ranks at work, you're perfectly … [Read more...]
How Hard To Train to Maximize Strength & Muscle Growth?
How hard is too hard when it comes to packing on size and strength? What is enough, what is too much and what is optimal? After decades of experience since 1989, I've seen some guys lean more towards one way over another. Other times, I've seen lifters change their intensity levels. Myself? I go completely by feel. More often than not, my intensity is high and aggressive. Why? It matches my personality. When I deny who I am and what I am, I do NOT feel good about what I'm doing. I LOVE hard … [Read more...]
Marcus Luttrell Speaks to Alabama Football Team (WHAT You ARE!)
So many people complain about life and how tough of a life they have. Ironically, these complainers often have a nice job, a nice car, a roof over their head and more. Somehow, someway, they still find a way to talk as if their life is so tough. Athletes complain about how busy they are, blame the ref for losing, complain about their coaches, etc. These are the same athletes who have opportunity all around them to do things to become better. They have the time and resources but find excuses and … [Read more...]
