Bodyweight Bodybuilding Inspiration Winners
This is TOUGH! ALL the videos from The Bodyweight Bodybuilding Inspiration Contest moved me, inspired me and some really touched my heart. During these inspiration contests I realize how tough it is to choose just one prize winner. This is when being "The Judge" kinda sucks, ha ha The last few hours of the inspiration contest we must have gotten 20 or so video submissions for The Bodyweight Bodybuilding Inspiration Contest. It was a whirlwind of people submitting videos last … [Read more...]
Tire Flip Instruction – Strongman Training Technique
After our recent Lift STRONG fundraiser, benefiting Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation, I saw how countless athletes had NO clue how to properly flip the tire, especially the heavier, 600 lb tire. Even the guys who were built like brick shit houses were often found wrestling and failing to flip the 600 lb tire. Learning HOW to use your strength is critical if you want to be successful as an athlete. This is what we call "functional strength" - can your gym strength be used to apply OUTSIDE … [Read more...]
Life Inspiration: Do You Attack Life?
[youtube width="640" height="360"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQQUOELKuu8[/youtube] Many people SAY they wanna achieve this or that goal, far and few between take the necessary action steps to make it happen. I've seen this from Athletes telling me they want to be All State, All American, etc. - yet their actions do NOT match up with their words. I've seen Coaches talk about wanting more success yet they don't seek outside help to improve their weak areas or to support their … [Read more...]

3 Tips To Conquer ANY Challenge
In mid September, me and a few close friends have a 26 hr, non stop Navy SEAL challenge. 2 former Navy SEALs (both friends of mine - although I safely assume they won't be my friend during this mission) will put my buddies and I through the ringer and I imagine it will be like a kick in the teeth AND the balls at the same time.

Are Box Squats Better Than Olympic Style Squats
The past year or so we've gotten away from box squats at our gym. Is it the BEST answer? In Strength & Performance, there are BETTER answers but not always "the best" answers. I recall having ONE kid, who could box squat over 405. But.... there were flaws. The box was set a bit high as he would squat with guys taller than him. At the time, we had a 50/50 mix of free squats vs box squats. When this kid tried to free squat 315 he got CRUSHED. … [Read more...]

How To Build An AWESOME Home Gym / Garage Gym
There is something PURE about training in your very own home gym - be it the garage, basement, backyard or spare bedroom.... Heck. I've heard of some home gym set ups in people's kitchen's! No matter where, there is magic that happens in a kick ass home gym. I recall reading from Dr. Ken, that even though he owned a large gym (I believe it was Iron Island Gym?) he still did his own workouts in a custom made home gym, where he also trained NFL players and other BEASTS. I've got video footage and … [Read more...]
