Episode # 85: The DeFranco’s Log Throwing Contest
On the 2nd day of 'The Lost Secrets of Strength Development' seminar at Joe DeFranco's Gym, I arrived slightly early and Joe D was rolling up slower than me. The entire crew was waiting out back and my eye was caught by a stone and a log. To ensure I was not to be arrested I went for the log and announced a log throwing contest. I screwed the rules up b/c I allowed the distance to include the rolling of the log. I figured on cement it would be tough to get a clear and accurate pinpoint of … [Read more...]

Episode # 81: Grip Strength Mania!
Wow, on my birthday, an old friend and a BEAST, Johnny Wasiscko stopped by the gym to say Happy B Day. I asked him what's new & he said preppin' for strongman comps and the Arnold Grip Contest.... It was the day before the Lost Secrets of Strength Development, so, I said sh*t, let's train and kill it w/a grip contest. This got wild and we really got carried away breaking all the rules and doing everything that made NO sense at all! These are the best and funnest workouts! Enjoy and post … [Read more...]
Episode # 80: Louisville Strength vs Battling Ropes
I have never used such a training tool that forces you to GO, GO, GO and can whoop your ass in such a short time. Well, let me rephrase that: These Battling Ropes rank up there with the prowler and high rep kettlebell snatches. These ropes are an amazing tool. They develop full bodt stamina, mental toughness, grip strength endurance and power endurance. There is NO slow with the battling ropes, it's ALL power output, or as their creator, John Brookfield says, this is velocity output - always … [Read more...]
