Breaking The Rules Of Traditional Strength Training & Muscle Building
I came up learning from the Golden Era Greats of Bodybuilding and the late, great John Kemper, the owner of Diamond Gym. These men were strong, jacked and ripped. They lifted heavy and often did supersets, even with the big compound movements. Even if they trained on machines, you would see guys loading up the machines and then rigging up the machine to add more 45s to the stack of weights. When I followed their routines of aggressive and heavy training using mostly free weights, my … [Read more...]
WHY Iron History Is SO Important
I've traveled around the country and have done some crazy things to get my hands on vintage, historical strength training equipment. This article was written in 2010.

ALL Truth.... … [Read more...]
The DE Evolution of Man
The DE Evolution of Man is going in a bad direction, and that's putting things lightly. Worst of all, it's moving TOO fast in that downward slope. We gotta step up and change things and it starts with YOU. There are men today in their 20s and 30s with Testosterone levels of men in their 60s. The stress of life nowadays, the constant sitting in front of a computer, the lack of intensity and passion for exercise, too many carbs, not enough healthy fats and proteins... They are ALL … [Read more...]
CrossFit Underground Strength
"The difference between interest and commitment is this.... When you're interested in something you do it only when circumstances permit. When you're committed to something you accept NO excuses, Just Results." - Unknown - I've been a CrossFit affiliate since my gym transitioned into a Warehouse Location, back in the fall of 2007, over 5 years ago.

Some years ago I wrote a blog post that I thought would anger many, instead, many LOVED it.

Phantom Of The Anvil
"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it." - Bruce Lee This photo alone speaks volumes. Somehow, while searching "Anvil Lifting" and being inspired from an old Kevin Tolbert photo (see below) I came across another photo on the web, credit to USAWA.
