Men need to … [Read more...]
TOP 3 Exercises for MAN STRENGTH
The type of training I see being prescribed for Men Over 40 from "Expert Coaches" is often way too conservative. It looks like the pump up work I did when I copied Muscle & Fiction in 1990!

Men need to develop Strength that makes them useful. The old fad of "Functional … [Read more...]

How To Squat Heavy, Even When You Get “Older”
I've heard many tales of how as you get "older" you should stop squats and deadlifts because your body won't be able to handle these exercises anymore. What age constitutes being "older", anyway?

The Mark Of A STRONG Man, Lessons Inspired from Andy Bolton
"Weak Legs & Weak Back = A WEAK Man" When I heard about Andy Bolton breaking the 1,000 lb Deadlift Barrier I knew this was not only a strong man, but most importantly, a SMART man.
