A Day at DeFranco’s – The Strongman Challenge
Yesterday I made the one hour trek up north to my homeboy Joe D's gym, and damn, what a gym it is, I'm in heaven there. The atmosphere is always high octane and steel is always clanging together or being dropped on the floor. It was our 2nd year competing in Joe D's strongman contest, and this year we brought 1 high school athlete and 5 college athletes. Unfortunately, 2 were unable to attend due to injury and family vacation. I had a wedding to attend yesterday and I was big time pressed … [Read more...]
Interview With Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell Club
For years I've been hopping on the phone with Louie Simmons to talk training methods. He understands the role of a QUALIFIED Strength Coach training athletes vs an ex Football player becoming the Football Strength Coach and bringing to the table the "same old" training that doesn't deliver results.

The Strength Coach must realize his influence on the life of the athlete, understanding special strengths, … [Read more...]

He unfortunately passed at the young age of 32. To see Jon Pall's evolution of training and various forms of strength competition was incredibly inspiring, and you can bet that tomorrow, at My Gym, The Underground Strength Gym, I will be attacking some serious strongman work using Stones, Sandbags … [Read more...]
Squats, Stones & Thick Bars
Last night's workout was a brutal one. By the title of this article, you can guess for yourself it was challenging to say the least. I used a specially designed thick bar for my zercher squats, working up to 325 lbs for 3 reps.The zercher squat is excellent for not only leg strength but for strengthening your entire trunk and core. The zercher squat also gives your lower back a bit of a break from direct spinal loading. In between a few sets I cranked out the essential glute ham raise. … [Read more...]
