Do The Simple Things Savagely Well. I interviewed Jim Kiritsy for The STRONG Life Podcast and that quote has struck me ever since. It's simply saying, Brilliance with the Basics. Experts are not trying to impress you with the fancy fads and gimmicks. It's ALL about results. And lately, I've been focusing on 2 exercises: Squats & Deadlifts. Specifically, the hook grip deadlift. I don't go crazy on upper body work with my left shoulder which has been a nerve type issue since I was … [Read more...]

Training In Your 40s VS Training High School & College Athletes
The older you get, the harder the training gets! It's tougher to make gains and you can forget about that "maintenance" BS program. If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. I NEVER use the word "maintenance" when training anyone, including in season for athletes. Think about it, how weak does it sound when you say I'm just trying to maintain. It sounds like you fear the work. It makes me wonder, how long can my message of hard work and consistency on the basics live on … [Read more...]

Genetics, Lame Excuses & Muscle Building
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." - Calvin Coolidge I explain to the athletes I work with on a daily basis how DEDICATION & Work Ethic … [Read more...]
