I'm often asked if Bodyweight Bodybuilding can be incorporated WITH an existing program that the person is already following. To be clear, this program is not so easy that you will need an added program or a variation of it. But, I KNOW how many people are when it comes to actually following a training program as prescribed. They buy a program and then they want to change the program to something else, I guess this is human nature. But, those who follow the program to the T are the dudes who … [Read more...]

Intermittent Fasting, Jack LaLanne & YOUR Health
I recall the moment as if it just happened 5 minutes ago. I was in my mid 20s and full force in my bodybuilding days..... I was at the mall, shopping with my girlfriend at the time, now my wife. I had been single for a looong time and I was used to revolving my life around training, eating, sleeping and basically living my life on my own schedule. Bodybuilding and working out was what I revolved my life around. I had a regimented life and nothing stood in my way when it came to eating and … [Read more...]
Underground Home Gym
Above, Dr. Ken Leistner working on his garage gym, a place known for EPIC workouts, rain or shine, brutal temps irrelevant. It was REALLY tempting to find a way to make my Underground Home Gym a bit more cozy.... warmer..... nicer... a sound system to crank heavy tunes on..... But, as the saying goes, give them an inch and they'll run a mile with it. I said to myself, "NO." Make it tougher to train in, more Uncomfortable than comfortable.... NO excuses. It's cold in my garage, I bundle up … [Read more...]

Power to The People
MANY years ago Pavel wrote a book called Power to The People, aka P2P. You can find details about it HERE. The book was simply based on optimal training, minimal volume and frequent practice of basics such as deadlifts, military presses and a few other key exercises. The more I grow in the iron game the more I realize that the name of the game is ALL about optimal workouts, NOT maximal. Certainly, when I was younger, I couldn't tame my mind to change..... I HAD to go in and KILL myself … [Read more...]
