I got a chance to grill my homeboy, Jim Wendler. Jim is 100% through and through a super genuine guy, and although a bit crazy, you want to listen carefully to his methods for building brute strength. His training isn't pretty or fancy, but damn do they produce powerful results, period. In the end, results are what count. It's NOT about how cool your program looks or how flashy the exercises are. The strongest and smartest lifters know to use and respect the basics. Click the … [Read more...]

I have recently watched the documentary on The Viking, Jon Pall Sigmarsson. It's an amazing tribute to one of the most dominant World's Strongest Man Champions. What a pure beast this man was.
