It must have been 6 years ago or so, I remember the moment quite clearly. We were outside The Underground Strength Gym, the athletes were hitting their finishers and training like farm boys.

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 don't want to make the mistake I've seen others make, which is resisting change. 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...]

STRONG Life 39: I Ain’t Got Time To Be WEAK!
Who's got the time to be weak? Only those who don't care for LIFE. Waiting for tomorrow? Waiting for your gym membership to start? Waiting to get your next pay check?

We discuss the following: … [Read more...]

Life & Lifting Lessons Learned In Cali
This past weekend I had an AWESOME time out west in Cali! I hadn't been out to Cali for about 12 years or so, back when my older bro lived in San Diego. If you've never been to San Diego, it's essentially perfect. The weather is perfect, the people are all super friendly and every morning seems like paradise. I slept every night with my sliding door open and getting some clean, fresh air felt awesome. I slept like a baby. As always, my time goes too fast and I missed out on connecting with a … [Read more...]
