278 | ‘The Soft American’ Circa 1960 vs Where we are Today
I have read about and come across much information regarding President JFK's popular article, published on December, 26 1960 in Sports Illustrated magazine. I had to buy the original because I've been fired up lately with our how government from local to national levels has proven that they do not care about our country's fitness, or lack thereof. I have known for a LONG time, that Strength, Health & fitness is up to the individual. But now, more than ever, we need stronger people. As … [Read more...]

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...]
How To Improve The Current State Of Youth Sports / Youth Strength & Conditioning
More and more I begin to question if we can make a change to our youth sports programs and most of all, our youth Physical Education programs. My own answer to this dilemma? YES, change CAN be made.

When parents have to pay for a service you quickly lose 85+ percent of kids you can potentially impact. This … [Read more...]

I am ALWAYS shocked when I have athletes at my gym who trained elsewhere and they are NOT performing the … [Read more...]
