Did John Grimek have it right or what!? He was STRONG, athletic, lean and blended all the training modalities together. We've gotten away from that and everything is extreme left or right. When it comes to your health I am more of a believer nowadays in more balance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxCwyPKFESs More and more of my workouts are becoming bodyweight based. I also include Bodybuilding, Weightlifting, Odd Objects, Powerlifting...... Why choose only one method or style? … [Read more...]

Underground Bodyweight Workout Challenge
I've been to a LOT of wrestling clubs and worked with a LOT of wrestling teams. I used to be shocked and even angered seeing how wrestlers were NOT performing ONE good push up: full range of motion, neck and entire body aligned, tight abs.... How the hell can a wrestler be unable to perform the bread and butter basic exercise that EVERY athlete should be cranking? The Great Dan Gable would lose his mind if he saw this. Bodyweight Training is extremely powerful when implemented properly. … [Read more...]
Strength BEFORE the Internet
Before the internet, the world of strength and serious bodybuilding was in it's very own little world. A small culture of people who shocked the rest of the world for doing what they did: - Lifting HEAVY and straining the body - Eating like Gladiators - Transforming their body / Growing Muscles that stretched shirts - The ability to perform feats of strength Well, after this weekend's USC Cert, we had a few guys in attendance who were in their 20s and they had never seen the … [Read more...]
Train Like a Gorilla, Eat Like a Gorilla
I'm droppin' some vids from my new web site, Get Wrestling Strength, but I bet you can learn a thing or two about training regardless of whether or not you wrestle. We walk around on our feet ALL freakin' day, why not use the hands instead? It's been a staple of my own training and how I train my athletes for MANY years now. It improves grip strength, overall upper body strength, shoulder stability and trunk / ab strength & stability. Look at Gymnasts, they perform countless … [Read more...]
Strength Coaches Inner Realm: Calm Before the Storm
Martin Rooney and I talk about what life is like as a Strength Coach and give you a preview of what's about to go down with "The Human Crane". Check the video and pay attention.... When I saw Martin box squat 405 for the easy reps it made me re-think and realize the carry over his training has towards his absolute strength. I've seen Martin Bench Press 315 for a solid 6 reps and he weighs around 200 lbs, lean and mean. The regular practice of sprints and bodyweight training have had a … [Read more...]

NO Limits Workouts
Check out Part II of my last workout video, 5 Rounds of Hell, The Underground Strongman Circuit. I step it up a notch, NO limits, hitting 60 lbs on the chin ups. Round 3 starts getting tough, Round 4 was Brutal and Round 5 kicked my ass BIG time. After 3 Rounds this workout was purely mental. It woulda been easy to call it a day, but I was dead set on completing 5 rounds. Not all workouts look like what you see above. Yesterday's workout was: Squats: 7 x 3 Reps Deadlifts: 10 x 2 Reps Later … [Read more...]
