Giving You Strength Training “Advices” From 27 Years Training Experience

Coming this June marks what I call my "Strength Training Anniversary".

I began lifting weights in Mid June while in 8th grade and I haven't looked back or stopped since.

I was 13 1/2 years old. This June I'll be 40 1/2 years young. I will NEVER stop training, it is my ritual and keeps me sane among countless other benefits.

Through my 27 years of training and coaching, I have learned MANY lessons which I explain below.

You see, even at age 13, I was coaching my friends that Summer. I had a training partner and I would write out workouts on notebook paper and bring them to my friend's house.

If I wasn't training with him I was training solo. By the time I was a sophomore in high school friends were asking me to write them workouts.

"Give me a Baseball workout...."

"Give me a Football workout..."

Give me a chest workout....."

Stuck in the middle of every text book was a bodybuilding magazine.

When I appeared to be taking notes in class I was really writing workouts for myself or my friends.

I was addicted to training.

I made a shit ton of mistakes and have learned from them all.

Aside form that, I have changed. You WILL change. Life changes you. So check out this Video as I explain some of my own training, how things have changed and some of my "advices" to you in training.

Enjoy!
