It was New Year's Eve... well, just about. It was 3 PM on New Year's Eve and the dedicated crew of athletes & lifters rolled up to The Underground Strength Gym in Edison, NJ. Some had traveled as far as 1 hr to drive here & I let the thought enter my mind.... "Where are the kids who live 5 - 10 minutes away from here who keep telling me they're too busy during the season?" Instead of getting disappointed I get fired up by reminding myself to have ZERO expectations of people. I get … [Read more...]

As I "get older" and time seems to be going way too fast, I have been thinking about time, training, life and a slew of other things. This whole life thing goes way too fast. Every year I get older, I quickly do the math and have a memory from age 6 of what seemed like yesterday. You must make it ALL count. Life is too short to walk around weak and with a laundry list of excuses. Bill Starr has a GREAT book call The Strongest Shall Survive. The title alone hits home, it can be updated to … [Read more...]
Box Squats vs Free Squats?
The argument of box squats vs free squats is endless. With the box squat you must sit back and then you literally pull yourself up using primarily hamstring work. At the bottom of the box squat your shins are parallel, while at the bottom of a free squat or weightlifting squat, your knees will often be angled forward and you are going to parallel or lower.

STRONGCast Ep. 8: Tony Blauer, Knock Out Game, Self Defense & CrossFit Lifestyle
In the Fall of 1992 I got into my first, real street fight. I was totally unprepared for the reality of the streets. As a high school wrestler, I was used to rules, no punches, a referee and a 1 on 1 scenario. That night, although over 20 years ago, changed my life. It changed the way I thought about training and it changed the way I thought about the street. Anything can happen out there and I do mean ANYTHING..... … [Read more...]
