In a world filled with entitlement, excuses and complainers, NOW more than ever is the time to spread the word on being STRONGER both in and out of the gym. Every time I hear someone complaining about something trivial, something that has ZERO effect on their own life, I feel like I need to drag them to the gym for some Squats and Deadlifts. Or they need to carry groceries home for a few miles rather than driving in their air conditioned car. Too Much Comfort = Too Many Complainers. Manual … [Read more...]

How To Improve The Current State Of Youth Sports / Youth Strength & Conditioning
More and more I begin to question if we can make a change to our youth sports programs and most of all, our youth Physical Education programs. My own answer to this dilemma? YES, change CAN be made. It is being made inside many Strength & Conditioning Facilities BUT there are flaws to this because parents must pay for their kids to train at these independent gyms such as my own gym. When parents have to pay for a service you quickly lose 85+ percent of kids you can potentially impact. This … [Read more...]

I know some don't care to change, some are perfectly happy to be exactly where they are, as they are. Something inside of me has me believing BIG time in others but this means nada when too many don't believe in themselves. In … [Read more...]
The STRONG Life Essence: Live, LIFT, Have FUN & Have PURPOSE
Last night I did a STRONG Life Podcast with my buddy, Joe DeSena, The Founder of The SPARTAN Race. One topic that came to mind was that of having a Purpose in your life. At this time of year, the weather is beautiful and the ocean calls me. The training moves from less inside my gym to more in my garage and anything outdoors, especially surfing, mountain biking and PLAYING. Essentially, I train by the seasons...... If I lived on the West Coast where the weather is warm year round I am sure … [Read more...]
Developing A TOUGH Mindset for Greater Success In ALL Areas Of Life
Last Thursday after shoulder surgery I was starting to act like an a--hole. My arm was completely shut down and numb from the anesthesia nerve block and The Doc told me I would not have the ability to move my left arm for about 24 hrs. No problem, right? It was amazing how I allowed my mind to crumble for a few moments as I began to complain about how my sling is choking my neck and other trivial, pathetic things. I needed someone to punch me in the face so I could wake up and realize that … [Read more...]
NO Time to Train? Making Time VS Making Excuses
_____________ I constantly hear men saying, "I have NO time to workout, NO time to train!" That is all BS. Make time or Make excuses. The choice is yours. You don't need a gym membership. Heck, you don't even need a gym. Bodyweight Only workouts CAN get the job done and be extremely powerful when following the right system. A few additional training tools can be added to the mix and stowed away so lack of space is never a problem either. The photo above tells the perfect story and the … [Read more...]

Marcus Luttrell Speaks to Alabama Football Team (WHAT You ARE!)
So many people complain about life and how tough of a life they have. Ironically, these complainers often have a nice job, a nice car, a roof over their head and more. Somehow, someway, they still find a way to talk as if their life is so tough. Athletes complain about how busy they are, blame the ref for losing, complain about their coaches, etc. These are the same athletes who have opportunity all around them to do things to become better. They have the time and resources but find excuses and … [Read more...]
