We always hear about "old school strength" but what is it, really? Well, one thing's for sure, we don't see a whole lotta dumbbell training going on nowadays. Back in the day, "old school strength" books and magazines show athletes and lifters using heavy dumbbells (dumbbells weighing 100- 200 + lbs) for movements such as: … [Read more...]

Does The Bench Press REALLY Matter?
[youtube width="640" height="360"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz6qKsWVA7U[/youtube] I train a high school Football Player / Wrestler who broke his hand / wrist in 8th grade. Now, he's a sophomore and strong as hell (naturally :). After his hand and wrist were fixed via surgery, it wasn't quite fixed. Ironic, right? Benching and holding horizontal weights in the hands is tough, the wrist deviates big time & causes pain no matter how strong we work the hands, wrist, grip, etc. … [Read more...]
Minimalist Training Tips for Full Body Strength
The more I utilize simple dumbbell & bodyweight workouts for myself, the more I realize less is more. Less variety and more focus = greater results in strength and size. I've been around too long and I want to challenge and question what REALLY works. I've seen the results of some of the most popular "programs" out there...... I wanted to see, do these athletes demonstrate greater strength? Greater speed? Greater physicality and more muscle? Well, the program looks impressive on … [Read more...]
Strength Coach Passion & Intensity
As a Strength Coach you MUST have a commitment to your students / athletes. Your commitment to helping others succeed will lead to your commitment to seeking greater knowledge.

Austin Powers
I arrived in Austin last Friday after an early 6 am flight (which means I was up at 3 AM & on the road for 3:30 AM). This was my 3rd time in the ATX, and, thinking it would be my last time, at least for a year. I figured I'll take a trip elsewhere for The USC Cert next year. Go somewhere else, be adventurous, right? You see.... I'm not much of a traveler and I actually perform my best knowing I'm coming home to my family every night... my wife and my kids. Even if it's a hectic work day, a … [Read more...]
The Power Behind Push Ups
I always tell my athletes, "Eat your push ups & pull ups for breakfast!" You MUST be GREAT at these 2 exercises, they are the foundation for upper body strength and power and work wonders for muscle building. I recently got a copy of The Convict Conditioning Push Up Series Course and the FIRST thing that struck me was all the coaching techniques, regressions and progressions. I am ALWAYS shocked when I have athletes at my gym who trained elsewhere and they are NOT performing the … [Read more...]

My Experience With The Renegade Diet
I never try to fake it through the fact that nutrition is my strong point. I can lock down the basics but when it comes down to REALLY dialing it in, I go to experts. I'm not so arrogant to think I know it all. Nutrition has REALLY been a focus of mine lately, and more so than just nutrition, HEALTH is # 1. Here are my experiences thus far with The Renegade Diet...... [youtube width="640" height="380"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmXIfkcBdVU[/youtube] I'll be sending Jason the questions … [Read more...]
