Dealing with Complainers + Training for YOUR Health
I woke this morning unlike any other morning. Nothing special. Today would be another day of work and another opportunity to get better. I've got 13 days left on crutches after my full meniscus repair. I remind myself that every morning I rise is another day closer to freedom with no crutches. Hard work is my normal. If you have ever been a fan of 20 rep squats and struggling under a bar, most likely you've taken those lessons and applied them to your life. I say "most likely" … [Read more...]
Are You A Dangerous Man? SPARTAN Workouts & SPARTAN Mindset
To develop a Spartan Mindset, an indomitable spirit, you must challenge yourself through Spartan Workouts. You must train AND live in a way that keeps you dangerous, in your own mind and in the mind of others.

Try this quicky…
Short on time and low on equipment? All you need is a dumbbell or a kettlebell. Try this workout I cranked out the other day in my backyard! I used an olympic dumbbell weighing 75 lbs. Pick a weight that works for you. 1) 1 arm snatch x 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 2) 1 arm push press x 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ** Try to switch arms on dumbbell movements without rest. For example, perform 5 reps per arm, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 each arm without ever placing the dumbbell down! 3) broad jumps … [Read more...]
Apollo’s “TOUGH Gym”
Have you ever seen Rocky III where Apollo takes Rocky back to the old school gym he used to train at where everyone has the "Eye of the Tiger"? That gym look liked a shit sty, there's no two ways about that. But, regardless of the equipment, or the fact that this was a movie, I have seen how atmosphere can make all the difference in the world when it comes to results. Follow a crappy strength program in a high energy, eye of the tiger environment and watch results come faster than a speeding … [Read more...]
