Hatfield Squats + Lower Body Workout Explained
It's been a while since I've done the Hatfield Squat. These were popularized by Dr. Fred Hatfield aka Dr. Squat.

Strength Training in Your 40s + Minimalist Training Updates

I trained every other day and took 2 days off after leg day. I was extremely inspired by seeing the rugged photos of Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates. Even though I was natural and still am, I felt that the high … [Read more...]
287: Wrestling Strength & Conditioning Master Class
STRONG Life Podcast ep 287: Wrestling Strength & Conditioning Master Class Brought to you by SORINEX. Every year I hear stories from the wrestlers I train during the first 2 weeks of the season. The stories usually sound like this: "We haven't done any wrestling yet, we've just been running through halls and running stairs because the coaches want us to get in shape."
