Why Calisthenics Are So Effective Yet Underused
Those old strength and health magazines had it right. They encouraged barbell lifting; Bodybuilding, Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting. They encouraged body control through the use of calisthenics, hand balancing and basic gymnastic drills. The physiques not only looked strong, they WERE strong AND athletic. You don't see the bodybuilders of today performing hand balancing or acrobatics. Heck, you don't see bodybuilders jumping. I often say I was born at the wrong time. I … [Read more...]
Fitness Is So Simple It’s Complicated
The photo above is from 1938. That's a pretty impressive physique for about 80 years ago. I am sure his training was ultra basic, what else was there in 1938?

5 STRONG Life Tips | Everyday Is a Struggle, But, The Struggle IS The Gift
The internet is a funny place. People don't see your entire life so they generalize your life according to what they see on your Instagram or YouTube channel. Well guess what, I feel like we are all more similar than we are different. Meaning, we ALL struggle. But, some of us choose to push through the struggle and emerge victorious where others allow the struggle to win the battle and keep them down, be it emotionally, physically, spiritually, etc. I struggle everyday, but I find ways to … [Read more...]
