I was training with my old buddy and training partner last week and we started ranting about how much things have changed. When my buddy and I began training together on the regular, he was a teenager and I was 22. My mind drifted to how things used to be and I'm sure we sounded like crank old men yet I am 45 and my buddy is 40. The world is changing and if you can't see it then you're lining yourself up to be in trouble. Watch this Video as I share what needs to happen in this world..... … [Read more...]
278 | ‘The Soft American’ Circa 1960 vs Where we are Today
I have read about and come across much information regarding President JFK's popular article, published on December, 26 1960 in Sports Illustrated magazine. I had to buy the original because I've been fired up lately with our how government from local to national levels has proven that they do not care about our country's fitness, or lack thereof. I have known for a LONG time, that Strength, Health & fitness is up to the individual. But now, more than ever, we need stronger people. As … [Read more...]

Special Strength Training for Wrestlers
Many THINK they know what wrestlers need when it comes to "strength & conditioning" but I assure you, it is more than strength and more than conditioning. I still see training that is actually too "perfect" for wrestlers. I still see training that is too boring and common for wrestlers. Wrestlers are often "crazy" and eccentric, especially at the higher levels. So, as they get more advanced in wrestling, the training must challenge them mentally and physically. I've been around … [Read more...]
Strength Training in Your 40s: MAN STRENGTH
As we "get older", there comes a point in time where you must ensure that you are capable. The excuses of age, time and anything else are really all just BS.

Training for When SHTF aka Training for Life
Training for sport is one thing. Training for Life takes on a whole new meaning. The "rules" of training don't apply as much. You look around and see that you can train with anything, anywhere. You realize that "training" must go beyond the gym walls. Beyond the weights. You realize that the ease and convenience of everything is holding you back. You soon realize that being strong is offensive to many. You will be taxed and penalized for eating meat. "They" want you eating more soy. … [Read more...]

Strength Coach Business “Advices”
I have shared hundreds and hundreds of videos and podcasts regarding the business aspect of being a Strength Coach / gym owner. At the time of this writing, I see more craziness in the world, less "job security" for strength coaches and still, many Coaches not diversifying their income. I've seen enough Coaches get released (aka fired) from their position and then have to uproot their entire family, including children who are mid way through high school. It is heartbreaking to see this, … [Read more...]
