What You Learn & What You Watch Matters More Than You Know
The photo above is from the no longer open, Gladiator Gym. This gym was housed in "Alphabet City" in The East Village of NYC. Pro Bodybuilders used to train there.

Back and forth they went pushing and pulling sleds, carrying the anvil, the atlas stone, dumbbells, kettlebells and sandbags. A BIG bodybuilder and his skinny friend began approaching. The bodybuilder was jacked. His friend looked like a typical high school kid weighing about 160 lbs or so. The … [Read more...]
How to Get STRONGER & TOUGHER Training Under Fatigue (Pre Exhaust Method)
I find myself more and more returning to methods I used in the 90s. Maybe it's my age, both in biological terms and training age terms. Spending all these years under the bar since 1989 I am still excited to train and finding new ways to keep getting better.

I remember even as a young teen bodybuilder how others weren't making any progress year after year and I remember exactly why: - They didn't attempt to get … [Read more...]
