Be An Ass Kicker, Dream BIG, GO BIG & Achieve BIG!
Most people get a job, raise a family and then they die. STOP being afraid. Just fucking GO for it. I've been down before, plenty of times. I've been beaten down, held down, cheated on, stolen from, hated, doubted and MORE. I refuse to let ANY of that shit dare to slow me down let alone stop me.

Tough Mudder Ass Kicker Against Doctor’s Predictions

You Can See It In Their Eyes
The eyes say a lot about the person. You can get a vibe from someone by looking at their eyes. If you've seen Rocky III, you recall Apollo talking about "that look".

Those who have that look are those who will rise above and fight through all the training. Those who don't have that look are those I will need to build and transform. And unfortunately, some will never … [Read more...]
Breaking The Rules Of Traditional Strength Training & Muscle Building
I came up learning from the Golden Era Greats of Bodybuilding and the late, great John Kemper, the owner of Diamond Gym. These men were strong, jacked and ripped.

Even if they trained on machines, you would see guys loading up the machines and then rigging up the machine to add more 45s to the stack of weights. When I followed their routines of aggressive and heavy training using mostly free weights, my … [Read more...]

WHY Iron History Is SO Important
I've traveled around the country and have done some crazy things to get my hands on vintage, historical strength training equipment. This article was written in 2010. This was a time when I rarely came across collectors. People flipping vintage equipment as a business is different than guys like myself who actually TRAIN on this equipment. People have offered me money for my 150 lb globe dumbbell and I've told them I won't sell it, ever. You can offer me 15 or 20 grand and that money means … [Read more...]
